Try that with the billions of folk in what we still call the developing world. 'Rewarding them' sounds a bit patronizing.

Its a tax, a pretty standard thing to do. I would say that people from southern countries would benefit even more.
"white colonial powers are yet again telling India / China / Africa / Latin America what do to" is exactly how that has gone over in the past, with things like credits, and how it'll go over with this 'tax'.
Okay, yeah, and now you speak for them?

Call it UBI then. Nothing attached, nobody tells anyone what to do lol.

Edit: grammar. Also, we should get rid of the pollution problem, world wide. To say this is patronizing towards the global south is exactly what the fossil industry would say.
