Promoters of taxes on carbon dioxide emissions are trying to attract support from conservatives by claiming that such taxes are a free market response to global warming. Promoters claim that CO2 taxes can be revenue neutral, can be a huge new source of
additional government revenues, and that the revenues can be returned as a dividend to consumers. It is also claimed that
taxing emissions is a cost-effective way to lower those emissions, will create more jobs than are lost, and will even provide a boost
to the economy.
After opening remarks by Rep. Bill Flores, three experts will

debunk these claims and discuss the real economic and political effects of CO2 taxes. Jim Lucier will also discuss a just-published economic analysis of recent carbon tax proposals. There will be
time for Q&A with the panelists.
