Tax, tax, tax. Do they not have any other ideas?

Yes, there is a lot of wasted food - by restaurants and stores - because of the phony expiration date formula.

Are they suggesting that we kill a few more people? In and out of the womb. Or, perhaps let disease, viruses and poisonous snakes take over the human race.

How about these so-called researchers limit their food intake to grass and clover. Then we can milk them instead.

a fun inconvenient truth the left doesn’t want the public to be aware of:

The left owudl have use beleive there is a thick sheet of plastic surrounding the earth preventing all the heat that rises fro mthe planet from escaping- and bouncing all that heat right back at us

Bzzzzt-

CO2 only absorbs approx 8% of the heat leavign earth- and only 1% of the heat that leaves the earth is IR- (Nasa claims 40+% but there is no consensus- most apparently claim 1%)

The rest of the 99% being conduction, convection and evaporation

Bottom line? Very Very little heat is even captured by CO2- and even less is actually back radiated ‘in the right direction’ to make it’s way back to earth to ‘warm the globe’

Bonus inconvenient truth- man’s CO2 production comprises just 0.00136% of the earth’s atmosphere- far far far too little to capable of capturing, holding, then back radiating enough heat ot cause global climate change- (The atmosphere is comprised of just 0.04% CO2 - man is responsible for just 3.4% of that or so- 3.4% of 0.04% = 0.00136%)

“In taking on lawmakers pushing for a cap-and-trade plan to deal with emissions, Steward tells Whispers that he’s worried that the legislation will result in huge and unneeded taxes. Worse, if CO2 levels are cut, he warns, food production will slow because plants grown at higher CO2 levels make larger fruit and vegetables and also use less water. He also said that higher CO2 levels are not harmful to humans. As an example, he said that Earth’s atmosphere currently has about 338 parts per million of CO2 and that in Navy subs, the danger level for carbon dioxide isn’t reached until the air has 8,000 parts per million of CO2.”

http://www.usnews.com/news/blogs/washington-whispers/2009/10/07/scientist-carbon-dioxide-doesnt-cause-global-warming

“Fact: Since 1999, multiple technical, peer reviewed articles have been available that demonstrate exactly the opposite conclusion. CO2 changes lagged temperature changes as temperature increased or decreased. Temperature changed and then, several hundred years later, CO2 levels changed. Since a cause does not follow an effect, this indicates that CO2 is not a primary driver of climate change.”

There is a movement among the greenies at the UN to promote eating insects— apparently they are high in protein, and don’t produce much carbon.

I doubt that UN staff will be dining on insects at the NYC restaurants they frequent, though. Funny how that works.

I get the feeling that much of the world subscribes to this climate change nonsense including a large chunk of the US. Nothing is stopping them from voluntarily paying a tax.

Are you sure “tax” was the word you meant to use?

The world tide is with Trump.

We need to have a complete remake of the intelligentsia, and eradicate these political hacks from our research institutions.

We need a tax on researchers. Researcher Stupidity to Humanity tax.

To be clear, its a tax all researchers must pay.

That’s because Socialism is for the people, not the Socialists.

Alrighty then.

Trump may decide to tax UK Researchers 35% before their bovine excrement can get published.

I love stories like this; keep it coming, Chicken Littles, you’re just pushing more and more into questioning just what’s going on...

I think the most effective way to reduce Climate Change is to eat leftists.

Once they are gone, no one will mention it again, and everyone will be surprisingly satiated.

Cults feed their members a low protein diet in order to weaken them

Bonus: Lack of protein in the diet reduces critical thinking skills.

No more revolutions against the Establishment!

Tax rate should increase for each year of schooling beyond bachelor’s degree. The rate increase should be exponential.

So THAT is why we have climate change.... TAXES on food aren’t high enough.
