James Hansen’s excellent book Storms of My Grandchildren, 2009 Bloomsbury includes a exposure of Cap-and-Trade and his own proposal Fee-and-Dividend which is completley different.
With Fee-and-Trade the sources of pollution causing climate change, such as coal, pay equal fees which bring down carbon emissions. The public get a cash dividend which is more than their increased costs , if they avoid buying products involving coal burning. But those who continue to buy products involving coal burning will pay more than they receive in dividend.
