Everybody loves global warming as a parlor game for virtue signaling. However, enthusiasm drops when it hits lifestyle or pocketbook.

Liberal elitists want us to believe its our fault there’s climate change.

And they compound one lie with another by forcing to pay for it.

People just love more taxes! Um, no they don’t.

The real problem isn’t what’s wrong with the environment; its with the arrogance and rapacious appetite of our leaders.

There’s always plan B for climate change, which was massive population reduction and economic collapse

Taxes would not reduce “warming”.

It is a scam to increase Gov’t revenue.

Paris riots show difficulty of fighting climate change with taxes

**********************************************

Uh. No.

What the rebellion in France shows is that con artists can push too far in shearing their sheep. And once all that sheep skin is removed, they may well find ravening wolves underneath.

AGW is a con. It has been from the start. It’s perpetuated by liars and idiots and serves only to provide the politicals a rich tax feeding ground with which to enrich themselves and their masters.

The article is filled with quotes from various "Environmental economists" based in American universities. One thing is clear from their quotes - they haven't learned any valid lessons from the Paris riots.

None of them sees this as a major setback, but just as a minor bump on the road.

None of them question the validity of raising fuel taxes. Rather, the only problem is with *HOW* it was done.

For example, it should have been spun differently (they called it a "fuel tax," which was the "wrong name" for it). Or it would have worked if a different person had introduced it (not Macron, because his popularity figures were already low). Or they should have combined the stick with a carrot or two, to soften the blow. Etc etc.

Bottom Line: there was absolutely nothing wrong with the plan. It was just rolled out wrong.

Here's a typical quote:

"Is it a death knell for the carbon tax or pricing carbon? I don't think so," economist Yohe said. "It is just a call for being a little bit more careful about how you design the damn thing."

Sound familiar? This is the exact same thing that these inmates of institutions of Higher Learning were saying about Communism when it collapsed. "Nothing fundamentally wrong with Communism itself. It's just that Communism has never actually been tried. It was just implemented wrong, and needs a few minor tweaks to make it work perfect. And it was rolled out wrong. Or by the wrong people. Come on, give us another chance to correct it and try again!"

and I do recall back in September reading an article where one of those idiots/liars at the UN climate research facility said That in order to stop climate change, the price of gasoline needs to be raised to $240 per Gallon!!

It never cease to amaze me as to the extreme wickedness of these people!
