SeeBS News thinks you Freepers wouldn't mind paying more tax in order to hire some government bureaucrats to try and stop four billion years of climate change!

As Americans prepare for their Thanksgiving Day feasts, there's an issue on the horizon that could make that turkey more expensive: taxing meat to reduce climate change.
Livestock is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, adding about the same amount of emissions as that of all the world's vehicles, according to a new report from the U.K. policy institute Chatham House. But many consumers aren't aware of the link between their dinner plates and climate change, the report notes.
At the same time, meat consumption is forecast to increase by 76 percent over the next several decades, thanks to rising incomes in developing countries that will boost demand for animal protein. Taking some policy steps -- such as a meat tax -- to make animal protein less appealing would help curtail demand and lower the impact on the environment, the researchers recommended. But wouldn't that backfire, given how much people love their burgers?
Not so, according to surveys carried out by Chatham House researchers, who found that consumers in countries including the U.S. and Brazil were more receptive to the idea than one might suspect.
Respondents thought that a backlash against a meat tax "would be short-lived, particularly if people understood the policy rationale," the report notes.

ugg...how can people be so STUPID??
My posts have been spoofed since august 30, 2015, which date was the last time i logged in and posted until today. Check your history folks.
On this Thanksgiving day, we’re thankful that our carbon emissions prevented the new ice age that liberals predicted in the 1970s from happening.
Watch the Government lose control. One Community Agitator is all it takes
So you’re saying you were the turkey or the hacker?
Turkey should be taxed for every Russian aircraft it shoots down.
You might want to look at your posting history. I personally have not logged in since august 30. Any post since then until today are spoofs. Only the site or site mods could do this.
Well, hackers could’ve hacked FR itself or your own password might’ve been phished off your computer. You might want to make sure your computer is virus scanned and change all your other passwords.
Nope, password is not compromised. This was done by someone with inside access.
I’m not sure you could know if your password has been compromised. The hackers tend to conceal their tracks.
So you are suggesting that i have been hacked by an outside entity who is intent on posting commentary in my name? Why would they bother? If you look at the postings from aug 31 until nov 23 you will note that they are postings which poorly imitate my style and substance. Why? What outside entity would even bother to do such a thing? No. This is done from inside. I just dont know why. And i am not even suggesting you personally bother to look, i am just saying i have been spoofed.
Well, if people just quit eating and breathing this would all be solved.
Liberals like to mess with us and may have found a program to try and guess our passwords. You may have just drawn the short straw.
Well of course the answer to that is, boy, no one ever does. And my advice to you, Jack, is to give me the code now. And if those devils come back and try any rough stuff, we’ll fight them together, boy, like we did just now, on the floor, eh? You with the old gun, and me with the belt and the ammo, feeding you, Jack! Feed me, you said, and I was feeding you, Jack.
Stuff it retard. I just emailed jim and asked him to cancel my account for the reasons i have explained. That also involves cancelling my financial support for this site my jolly FRiend. Buh bye.
Public schools.
Bullshit. No one has access. Bye.
