Spend the money to adapt to climate change and return the rest of the money to the people

Because most scientists admit that even the most draconian emissions cuts would still fail to completely prevent negative effects from climate change, it is imperative that America be prepared for the inevitable, and use the revenues to adapt to climate change.

The work of the Cato Institute and others have helped us recognize that while anthropogenic climate change may be a reality, that does not mean that the man has the power to simply reverse century-long climate trends at a whim, or should decree economically-harmful emissions cuts that may not even do anything.

However, neither is it an excuse to do nothing about a very real problem.
