Your post is full of 97% to 100% assumption. You have no idea why I didn’t answer the question, much less how I avoided it. You should ask them, not me.
You are quite happy to swallow the garbage spouted by non scientists in the pay of fossil fuel companies but you won't listen to what scientists paid by fossil fuel companies say. It would seem that anything a scientist says is wrong in your mind. What a strange way of thinking you have!
Ad hominem attack again.
And you have avoided the question yet again so I'll repeat it for you.
How do you explain, Woodburner, that even the fossil fuel industry's own scientists found that global warming is a fact. Or are they in on the conspiracy as well?
If you have questions about the operation of a TEQ system, you should ask in the TEQ forum. We're going off-topic here.
Going off topic here? Doesn’t often happen on PS 😉
I wouldn’t campaign for a C&S system. People need to do what they think is right, not let someone else do it so they can just pay to avoid whatever effort is involved.

22.5 Legislate that TEQs can only be sold at normal open market prices? Whatever, it’s not a reason to not implement them.
No need - that's already how TEQs works
Ha! You don't miss a trick Shaun.

Wouldn't abandoning the money system accomplish everything we need to make a massive difference?
Remove the motivation?
"In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated, and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot."
There would have to be stringent safeguards put in place to stop brokers robbing blind individual traders of small numbers of TEQs to stop the rich getting richer and the poor, poorer as we now have.
