National Academy of Science Urges Carbon Tax
eldavojohn writes "Moving for the first time from a cautious message to a message of urgency, the National Academy of Science has advised the United States government to either adopt a carbon tax or cap and trade legislation. This follows a comprehensive study in three parts released today from the National Academies that, for the first time, urges required action from the government to curb climate change."
The whole Global Warming scheme was thought up by Ken Lay and discussed with both the Bush Jr and Clinton Administrations. Now Al Gore is a parter in a firm that trades CARBON CREDITS and is set to make billions off this scam. I think you all better wake up and research the NWO and GLOBAL GOVERNMENT and see what all are leaders are up to. Its time for the world to change and not in the way the Illuminatti want as they are about to have the light shined right on them and I doubt they will survive.
Oh noes, the climate is changing. We can't have that, now can we? We should have the climate be like the way it was billions of years ago (eg: not fit for humans), because climate change is bad, right?
Being as volcanoes are responsible for an irrelevant amount of CO2, no one. Humanity produces several orders of magnitude more CO2 than volcanoes. It's like suggesting that we tax squirrels for using the road while they cross the street.
Sure, but just for kicks, I'd like to see the IRS try to enforce taxes on both volcanoes and squirrels.
Finally, we are there as a nation.
The real question is, if Xenu dropped a hydrogen bomb in after them, would their deaths release thetans? Or is it true that IRS employees and lawyers really are soulless creatures belched from the underworld?
Its weird that I am not allowed to drop rubbish in the street but disposing of some types of effluent in the atmosphere which we all need to breathe is perfectly okay.
Speak power to truth, comrade!
The "effluent" CO2 coming out of your body in every breath certainly needs to be regulated. In the future, when my "carbon zero" plan is adopted, all people must wear CO2 rebreathers as they go about their daily business - or be "cap and taxed", if you know what I mean. The guillotine is a carbon-neutral device, my friend!
Together we shall end this imperialist capitalist pig pollution chemical weapon! Death to CO2!
You must have a hell of an NAS! Mine just sits in my server closet humming with the LEDs sometimes flickering.

When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
That's too mathematical for the AGW denier. Do you have a car analogy?

Basically because everyone knows that nuclear plants kill people.
Exactly. If there's one thing the hippies love to protest about more than carbon emissions or the extinction of cute fuzzy-wuzzies, it's the Evils of Nucular Power. There was some girl on the radio recently here who made me want to gag her for being so stupid. The reporter asked her, quite rightly, what her stance on nuclear power was, given that it was a readily available, safe, clean source of power that could, right now, replace most of our fossil fuel power stations. Her answer? "Well, fossil fuels create carbon but so do nuclear power plants because the mining process creates carbon. We really need wind and solar power." The sheer naivety makes me want to bite a kitten. No carbon's being "created", and wind and solar together can't replace current baseline power needs. Hippies are so scared of the word 'nuclear' that they refuse to see that it's the best possible solution for short- to medium-term power production. They're like a little kid who you ask "do you want icecream or cake?" and they say "BOTH!" And no matter how many times you say to them "We only have a dollar, and icecream costs a dollar and cake costs a dollar, you can't have both!" they will still scream "I WANNA BOFE! ISEKWEEM AAAAND CAKE!"
...OK, I'm done with my rant for now. Gah.
Rampant carbon sequestration destroyed the Dinosaurs' tropical paradise. I'm here to help repair the damage.
