"Why not a carbon tax? Unfortunately, many conservatives are so rigidly opposed to any tax increase that they will not admit the superiority of this approach. In some states, the mania for tax cuts was so strong that basic services began to suffer, to the point that even conservatives had to agree to higher taxes to fix roads, improve schools, and so forth, rather like a vaccine opponent faced with a measles outbreak."

yes. print money to expand a .gov sector to audit compliance. All the while driving up the costs, to solve an issue that even at best case of 100% global compliance, WE CANT CORRECT/CHANGE.

All this assumes you believe in this BS but still.

The 1883 Krakatoa eruption darkened the sky worldwide for years afterwards and produced spectacular sunsets throughout the world for many months. British artist William Ashcroft made thousands of colour sketches of the red sunsets halfway around the world from Krakatoa in the years after the eruption. The ash caused "such vivid red sunsets that fire engines were called out in New York, Poughkeepsie, and New Haven to quench the apparent conflagration."[17] This eruption also produced a Bishop's Ring around the sun by day, and a volcanic purple light at twilight.

In 2004, an astronomer proposed the idea that the blood-red sky shown in Edvard Munch's famous 1893 painting The Scream is also an accurate depiction of the sky over Norway after the eruption.[18]

Neat. I knew about the years long darkening but not the rest of it.

The Santorini eruption of ca 1650 BC is pretty fascinating, too, if you're into that sort of thing.

I remember learning that it was supposedly the loudest sounds ever recorded on Earth and then going down a rabbit hole

The loudest sound ever heard by humans, yeah. Massive tsunami's across the Mediterranean. 10's of meters of ash buried the island, including a whole city, much like Pompeii, but over 1700 years earlier than Pompeii. You can visit this town today. I've been there twice. It was just discovered in 1967 and will likely take another 10-200 years to fully excavate. Every home that has been uncovered so far has been 2-3 stories tall with interior staircases, which was very rare for the 2nd millennium BC, with beautiful frescos on most interior walls, and, get this, running water and flushing toilets and a municipal sewage system. Likely wiped out the Minoan civilization, or at least crippled it to the point that they were easily conquered by the Mycenaeans. Also quite possibly the origin of the Atlantis myth and some say it was the cause of the Red Sea parting for Moses and the column of fire, if you remember from the movie 10 Commandments.

Fascinating stuff. If you're interested, this is a 5/7 book on the subject.
