Social cost of “carbon”, if there in fact is any, is dwarfed by the social benefit …

I can only agree

They pretend to care about humanity, but all they are interested in is their own personal glory and fortune.

Even worse. Most "elites" are about preserving their own wealth at the cost of the masses and most of all the poor. To justify the injustice they create, they make up false virtue and masquerade behind phony "scientific" objectivity.

Following the EU, Britain's own CBAM (or carbon tariff) will come into effect in 2027, for aluminium, cement, fertilizer, hydrogen, iron and steel imports. Britain no longer produces fertilizer, yet it insists on increasing prices for farmers in a market already very stressed due to Middle East tensions:

Countries that do not have their own CBAM need to consider retaliatory tariffs. CBAMs have no purpose but to increase prices for everyone, while enforcing the establishment of a useless cadre of carbon accounting bureaucrats, while having no effect at all on climate. Carbon accounting is an elite scam that intends to introduce neo-Malthusian engineered scarcity. It needs to be abolished.
