Merkel and G20: Tax Trump for Paris

Merkel and G20:

Tax Trump for Paris
Sign the petition

To G20 leaders:

We call on you to make President Trump pay for leaving the Paris climate Agreement by putting a carbon tax on imports of all U.S. fossils fuels. Even just the warning of such a move will send a powerful signal. The world cannot allow a major power to pollute at will and expect other countries to bear the costs of climate change, without any consequences.

BREAKING: Trump just pulled out of the Paris climate deal.

If he can make this reckless move without any consequences, other countries could follow his lead, threatening the planet. But we’ve got a ground-breaking idea to contain Trump’s damage:

The Trump Tax.

It’s pretty simple: if US trading partners pledge to put a “Trump Tax” on US coal, oil and gas imports, Trump won’t be able to deliver on his jobs and trade promises, it’ll make his withdrawal an enormous political liability, and could force him to back down.

Climate champion Merkel is hosting the G20 summit in weeks. She has responded before to massive public support for strong climate action. Now, if enough of us call for it, she could lead world powers to put a ‘carbon tax’ on dirty energy imports from the US, to show Trump that trashing our planet has massive consequences.
