Journalist Amanda Turkel noted in her Huffington Post article, "House Sequester Deal: GOP Insists on No Revenue Increases", 2/10/13": "Taxing greenhouse gases would generate $80 billion a year right now, and up to $310 billion a year by 2050, according to an analysis by the Brookings Institution. It would also help avert catastrophic ecological and economic damage from climate change."
