I am tabling with Tom McSteen, but your presence would be most welcome. I
was hoping Andy might go because I suspect the crowd will skew toward the
younger end, but I haven't heard from him.

>
> *Brought to you by Climate Access and Climate Desk Live in partnership

>
> Five years ago, the Canadian province of British Columbia joined a small
> group of states and nations (still fewer than 20 overall) that have passed
> a carbon tax--setting a price on carbon and unleashing the power of the
> marketplace to reduce emissions. Today, the tax brings in $1 billion a year
> in revenue that is returned to British Columbia taxpayers and has realized
> more than 5% in emissions reductions while GDP in BC increased above the
> Canadian average.

> To delve into these questions, Climate Desk, Climate Access, and Bloomberg
