All
too many bad ideas get endlessly recycled. The carbon tax is one of them.
A carbon tax could be a tax on coal, oil and gas carbon-dioxide emissions from
power plants and other sources. Do you know how much carbon dioxide is in the
atmosphere? It is a little less than 400 parts per million. Do you know what
the optimum level of carbon dioxide is? No one does, even though some have the
extreme conceit to think they do.
What is known with a high degree of
certainty is that at times in the past, the Earth has been both warmer and cooler at current levels of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.
What is also known is the current climate models have a dreadful record of
prediction. Twenty years ago, we were told that the Earth's temperatures would
steadily rise from then on, yet there has been no average warming for the past
16 years. Oops.
NOTE from JW: With the Zero White
House trying to revive the man-made climate change fraud, now is an opportune
time to get your TTP Global Warming Is A Fascist Hoax T-shirt.
