Not a tax, much worse than a tax. It's a big SLUSH FUND for the ultra-rich with government guaranteed profits in trading & speculation in carbon credits while doing ZIP to reduce carbon emissions, apart from causing energy poverty or energy rationing for the proletariat who ultimately pay the cost for this incredible wealth transfer scam.
Power is the ability to extract tribute from others, i.e. to tax them, whether it is exercised by a local gangster offering 'protection,' or by a government running essentially the same scam. There are four things to note:
1) If you cannot extract tribute, you don't have power, no matter what your title is, whether you call yourself King or Pope or grand Poo-Bah of Utter Magnificence.
2) it is self amplifying. The more a gangster extracts, the more he can demand.
3) It is fractious. Pigs at a trough fight to own the trough. At first, the Trough-istocracy will cooperate with the Swill-King, their loyalty being bought by the prospect of slops from the trough, but by (2) above, eventually the parties will become rivals fighting for supremacy.
4) It is agglutinative. By (3) above, there must be a supreme pig, the God-hog, master of the trough. This party may change due to infighting, but the trough has a strong tendency to increase in size, other things being equal.
ESG is essentially a scam to extract tribute, a new empire bootstrapping itself into existence, which leads to the essential question of where this protection money is going, because that will be the center of the new empire.
Empires in the past depended on capturing and holding land, because that is what generated the wealth and provided the foot-soldiers, but a territory is no longer strictly necessary if you have other means to accumulate gold and boots. The empires of the future will no longer be identifiable by palaces and borders. We are seeing that now, so where is the center of this new regime?
If only it were that simple! That evil people, appetites sated, would grow fat and lazy, and lose interest beyond their own immediate concerns, but unfortunately, for some, ideology intervenes. A tyrant is someone who, having eaten the world, wants to shit it out in his own image and the ESG program is a massive stinking dump being dropped from on high by the ultra-wealthy. Because they can. The elites don't want to make the world better. They want to make the rest of us do things we don't want to do.
PIGFARMA is the Major Troughistocrat made pathologically obese by its addiction to Swill and has become the gatekeeper for all the other piggies, big and little, desirous of getting slopped with the swill too.
These geniuses don't have a clue about how To implement any of this shuck- and-jive Fascism. It will end in world widespread self destruction. Not surprised to see Mother Russia clambering on board to see the Grand Realization of the One World Government Wet Dream Climax of World Communism as envisioned by Marxism Leninism...still, you can't help but wonder how Putin reconciles this with his alleged Orthodox Christianity
ah yes a tax. that will appease the weather gods

Right. First time I heard about ESG was at least three years ago, on BlackRock's website.
BlackRock that also invests in the Chinese Communist Party...
When China, Russia, and the western governments are making business with Lucky-Larry-bis-repetita, beyond ideologies ....

The "tributes" will go into pockets, and do nothing else. Except increase their desire for more.
