Yet apparently Trump is an idiot and a bad man for wanting to use tariffs to eventually replace income tax in America so that people actually get to keep the money they earn. 

Tariffs don’t raise any government income from domestic transactions.

Making reasonable and sensible steps over a good period of time in order to lessen our reliance on fossil fuels sounds like a good thing to do. That isn't what we are doing though is it and that's a strategic reason for doing it and has nothing to do with saving the planet or prevent extreme climate change which are the stated reasons given. 

Maybe they need to re-frame it? It’s what I’d do.

Yep. We bought a diesel car that was so 'clean' the road tax was free (and still is)but attracts the ULEZ fee. Make it make sense. 

Our diesel is ULEZ exempt. Makes no sense at all.
