3. GLOBAL TEMPERATURES HAVE RISEN 1.5 DEGREES IN THE LAST 100 YEARS.

4. CO2 LEVELS HAVE NOT BEEN THIS HIGH IN 650,000 YEARS

5. If we continue with business as usual, emissions will increase over time.

6. GLOBAL DESERTIFICATION BY THE NUMBERS

7. “WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LOSE ANOTHER DECADE. IF WE LOSE ANOTHER DECADE, IT BECOMES EXTREMELY COSTLY TO ACHIEVE CLIMATE STABILIZATION.” Dr. Ottmar Edenhofer, Co-Chair IPCC, in April 2014 report Here is what the IPCC says :

8. National pledges to cut greenhouse gas emissions, even if fully implemented, would cap global warming at 3 degrees Celsius rather than the 2 degrees targeted to avoid dangerous consequences. European Climate Action and Energy Commission

9. IS THERE A SOLUTION?

10. CCL PROPOSES AN EFFECTIVE NON-PARTISAN SOLUTION: CARBON FEE AND DIVIDEND

11. Putting a price on carbon emissions at the national level with the collected revenue returned to the American people will rapidly achieve large emission reductions.

12. NOW HOW EXACTLY DOES THIS WORK?

13. TAX FOSSIL FUELS AT THE SOURCE.

14. US TREASURY PAYS AMERICAN FAMILIES A REBATE CHECK OF $300-$400 PER MONTH.

15. FEE ON FOSSIL FUELS EMISSIONS IS FULLY REBATED TO US HOUSEHOLDS. Pay $100/ton 100% refund

16. U.S. COMPETITIVENESS U.S. COMPETITIVENESS Border tariffs + rebates to U.S. exporters will: 1. Ensure that U.S. manufacturers aren’t disadvantaged, 2. Encourage other countries to enact their own carbon taxes.

17. What would happen if the U.S. adopted Carbon Fee and Dividend? 2014 REMI Study

19. GOODS AND SERVICES MADE WITH CLEAN ENERGY BECOME INCREASINGLY COST COMPETITIVE AS THE PRICE ON CARBON BASED FUELS RISE.

20. 2-3 MILLION NEW JOBS

21. $1.3 TRILLION IN ADDITIONAL GDP OVER 20 YEARS $1.3 Trillion in additional GDP over 20 years

22. MONTHLY DIVIDEND PUTS MONEY IN THE HANDS OF AMERICAN FAMILIES AND OUR COMMUNITIES

23. 227,000 DEATHS PREVENTED

24. ●Reduces carbon dioxide ●Increases household incomes ●Saves Lives ●2 million more jobs Employment Climate Fiscal Humanitarian REMI: REPORT SUMMARY No economic case against Carbon Fee ●$1.3 trillion more GDP Economic

25. GOOD FOR THE ECONOMY, HEALTH AND THE CLIMATE

26. CONSERVATIVE AND LIBERAL ECONOMIST AGREE… “Policy wonks like me have long agreed that the best way to curb carbon emissions is to put a price on carbon. The cap and trade system President Obama advocates is one way to do that. A more direct and less bureaucratic way to do this to tax carbon. When polled, economists overwhelmingly support the idea.” Gregory Mankiw Harvard Professor & Economic Advisor to George W. Bush

28. COMPANIES PLANNING TO PAY A CARBON FEE American Electric Power BP Chevron ConocoPhillips Delta Air lines Duke Energy DuPont ExxonMobil General Electric Google Microsoft PG&E Shell Walt Disney Walmart Wells Fargo " The science is clear. The economics are compelling. We are seeing a shift toward the economic architecture that will be necessary to avoid a 2-degree-warmer world, an architecture that supports green growth, jobs and competitiveness. " Rachel Kyte World Bank Group Vice President and Special Envoy for Climate Change

29. WHAT IS THE COST OF INACTION? Cost of catastrophes: Inaction today Cost of catastrophes: Action today

30. “THE DECISIONS WE’RE MAKING TODAY — TO CONTINUE ALONG A PATH THAT’S ALMOST ENTIRELY CARBON-DEPENDENT — ARE LOCKING US IN FOR LONG-TERM CONSEQUENCES THAT WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CHANGE BUT ONLY ADAPT TO, AT ENORMOUS COST.”

31. CCL: METHODOLOGY Focus on solutions Instill hope Educate constituents Develop strong respectful relationships with elected officials on both sides of the aisle.
