Is this why I paid $1.98 a gallon today?

I don’t understand why they claim “big business” benefits. Higher gas prices hurts everybody and the only “winner” is big government.

Who gets rich with higher taxes at the pump? Big Business?

Gas in Chicago has dropped by at least 40 cents per within the last two weeks.

Any effect from France would be with a lag. But when it kicked in the higher tax will cause less gas to be used which would make the world market for oil have more supply than usual. Prices should drop given that scenario. Not much though.

I disagree. It’s not about supporting big business.

It’s all and only about the fraud. The “scientists” playing at this know they’re lying through their teeth. Same for the politicals, wakademics and msm drones.

They know.

The whole point of AGW or Global Warming, or Climate Change is to steal as much money from the tax payers as possible *and* acquire more power through corruption and purposely false legislation.

There is nothing honorable involved at any level.

There is no one innocent involved at any level.

It's a trick to fund welfare states with taxes on the backs of the little people.

Such was always the case.

Our idiotic Governor, Jay “Macaroni for Brains” Inslee, (CPUSA-WA) tried to get similar carbon taxes passed in the state legislature. When that failed, his cronies tried using the initiative process this last election and that went down in flames as well. It would have increased taxes on fuel by 45 cents/gal the first year and 16 cent annual increases. No oversight board to review the “green” project initiatives that were to receive the funding either...

French love higher taxes... as long as they think other people are paying them. :)

Everybody knows that higher prices and higher taxes can control the climate.

Think about it. The dinosaurs didn’t pay any taxes at all and see what happened to them!

Too bad environmentalist don’t really care about the environment. The real cause if all environmental problems can be traced to one source. OVER POPULATION. Out of control breeding. Who breeds the most? The people who can least support their children.
