Tsk, tsk, tsk. Did your mama teach you to talk like that? I bet not.
You're not likely to convince anybody of how morally intelligent you are if you're going to insult somebody, even more so behind the cowardice of an AC account. And since when does Slashdot think calling homosexuals is somehow inappropriate?
My observation is that a.) you would get more worthwhile engagement with reason rather than with hatred and b.) you're something of a bigot, seems like. Go away now and be quiet; adults are talking.
Of *course* the Moon and everyplace will developed individually...some by corporations, some by alliances, some by new nation states as we expand out into the solar system. I expect a wild and wooly mix, and that's okay.
This silliness that "everything is owned by the common group called Mankind" will last until about 10 minutes after the first mining ship arrives to bring back a load of gold or something.
They can probably find even earlier photographic evidence with a bit of effort and extend out the range to get a more better picture of the gradual greening uptick. It would be interesting to see such data from a regional perspective and see how it matches.
The basis of the theory is that CO2 created by breathing, eating, etc, is "normal"....it's part of the standard cycle of carbon. Carbon introduced into the environment from sources like oil and coal skew the "normal" cycle because it hasn't been on the planet and part of the cycle for millions of years.
With that in mind then they would theoretically charge you tax on the gasoline ("new carbon") but not on firewood ("existing carbon").
Not that I think it's remotely a good idea anyway, but at least that's the basis.

Not according to the last info I could find:
United States: 1612Tw from coal (http://www.tsp-data-portal.org/iframe/Breakdown-of-Electricity-Generation-by-Energy-Source?select=ELPRODP_Unit%2C%22%22TWh%22%22&select=ELPRODP_Country%2C%22%22United%20States%20of%20America%22%22&select=ELPRODP_Year%2C%22%222014%22%22&select=ELPRODP_Energy%2C%22%22Coal%22%22)

Oh nonsense. People started buying LEDs when the technology was viable, costs got rational, and a good case could finally be made (lower energy usage == lower bills).
Since my house is 100% off-grid and solar, switching over to LEDs cut my house electrical use by about 90%.
Odd, I gave no indication of my political leanings in my response. YOU, on the other hand, made numerous assumptions and felt that a combination of insult and ad hom attack somehow makes you more convincing.
Spoiler Alert: it doesn't.
I'm curious at this "right humans are left" assertion of yours....care to expand on it? I assume perhaps you'd like something along the lines of Thanos doing his glove thing or perhaps Mister Valentine from the Kingsmen movie?

And yet, you don't seem to really believe that enough to step up and off yourself....that's the logical consequence.
I like rice, ever since my kindergarten teacher introduced it to me years ago. My father didn't like it all that much...he was more a meat and potatoes man...so it was quite a treat growing up.

By 2020? Well, that's testable at least.
Ferret
Well said.
There no convincing evidence of global warming as of yet that I'm aware of. There's some minor compelling evidence but it's contradictory.
Of course some might be more easily convinced that others.
Ferret
Intriguing assertion...credible cite?
Ferret
A false choice....I choose "neither of the above".

There's no evidence that the first AC is of any particular political party.
Yours is pretty obvious though.

Very clever idea.
Ferret
I don't understand this bit:
> A waste, as the nuclear industry delivered nothing for all the money spent.
One suspects the electricity itself was in fact some of value delivered.
Ferret
People still speak that?
Wow.

Well said sir...indeed!

Indeed.
That you're being voted down for asking for evidence....presumably it's simple to provide.

Be precise please.
