Even worse, I have no opinion about Global Warming.
Hah, I wish I had no opinion, but the constant propaganda has taken care of that.
Worse than that, I imagine that the taxation itself is not necessarily a bad thing,
Taxes might be fine, but misapplied taxes is stealing.
nor what is done with the proceeds. I don't imagine any one person knows the final distribution of them.
Yes, by design, and you will not hear (much) about that distribution, and just like our other ‘wars’, the money is the objective, not the ‘war’.
So our brave climate fighter business deal setter uppers, certainly deserve immunity for any incidental otherwise criminal acts committed in the pursuit of doing gods work, right?
Well, maybe not but you or I have no say in it and the ra ra cheerleaders will be happy to skip over the implications, as it seems that passing along propaganda like some robot army is somehow more fulfilling.

“We would definitely be opposed to any extension of immunity to the Fund,” said a senior aide to Republican Senator James Inhofe of Oklahoma, who will chair the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works starting in January.
“What do they need protection from?” he asked. “In essence, they are doing business development projects. If you look at the way millions of people do transactions across national borders, they do it without immunity and very successfully.”
Apparently undeterred, fund officials told Fox News that they are now trying to hammer out “bilateral agreement templates” that could be laboriously negotiated with each country where it operates—a total that could eventually reach the great majority of the U.N.’s 193 members.
The Fund has already negotiated one agreement of immunity—with its new host country, South Korea, as a condition of moving its headquarters there last year.
If the GCF succeeds in its broader negotiations, not only billions but eventually trillions of dollars in climate funding activities could fall outside the scope of criminal and civilian legal actions, as well as outside examination, as the Fund, which currently holds $10 billion in funding and pledges, expands its ambitions.
The shield would cover all documentation as well as the words and actions of officials and consultants involved in the activity documentation—even after they move on to other jobs. As a tasty side-benefit, the “privileges” attached to such “privileges and immunities,” as they are known in diplomatic parlance, mean that employees get their salaries tax-free.

The dominant narrative is very convincing. The colonist in our minds.
