“The premise here is that limiting CO2 is a good thing or that man caused “global warming” is real. So it is a tome built on a lie and BS. “

Let me repeat what you said ..... I just did.

There is no impasse. The US did not agree to the Paris accord. US emissions are dropping year on year as is and have been for the past decade as we switched from coal to n atural gas.

If socialists and Europeans want to pay this extra tax then I am not opposed to them paying it. See? I’m willing to meet them half way.

There is no impasse. There’s the BS coming from the left and the normal thinking right telling them to pack sand. No impasse.

John Breaux was Senate Democrat Leader? I don’t think so.

Congress should approve legislation to place a meaningful fee on carbon-dioxide emissions that ripples through all sectors of our economy, and return the revenues it generates to the American people in the form of cash dividends.

This would be known as "redistribution of wealth." Of course, the recipients of this thievery would be disproportionately blacks, welfare breeders, illegal invaders, criminals, perverts, and other Democrats.

We need to impose a massive fee on the Bovine Excrement that flows from the mouths of congressional leaders.

Death penalty for mentioning a “Carbon Tax!”

15 May 2015: Bloomberg: Trent Lott’s Firm Made a Fortune Lobbying for the Kremlin
by Matthew Campbell and Dawn Kopecki
The Kremlin and Big Oil are stuffing more money into Washington’s influence machine as Europe and the U.S. renew their commitment to Russian sanctions...

Consider that last year, the Washington, D.C., lobbying firm of former Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott raked in $300,000 from Kremlin-controlled OAO Gazprombank, which was a target of sanctions. The Gazprombank billings for Lott’s firm are about double what Lott made in annual salary during any of his 18 years in the Senate.

Other high-profile ex-senators like John Breaux of Louisiana and Don Nickles of Oklahoma are also getting in on the Russian action, as is Haley Barbour, the former governor of Mississippi...

20 Jun: Exelon, First Solar Bankroll Campaign to Push for a U.S. Carbon Tax
By Jennifer A Dlouhy
The initiative will be run by two former senators: Democrat John Breaux and Republican Trent Lott. Top political consultants and strategists, including White House veterans Mark McKinnon, Karen Hughes and Joe Lockhart, are advising the campaign.
Two former Federal Reserve chairmen, Janet Yellen and Ben Bernanke, also are signing on as members of the Climate Leadership Council, the not-for-profit advocacy group that developed the underlying carbon tax-and-dividend plan...

Bush Connections
The campaign has enlisted former aides to President George W. Bush...ETC

Michael R. Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg LP, which operates Bloomberg News, is an individual founding member of the Climate Leadership Council, but neither he nor Bloomberg Philanthropies has provided any funding to the organization.

20 Jun: WashingtonFreeBeacon: Bloomberg to Spend $80 Million Boosting Democrats in Midterms
by David Rutz
Bloomberg is a political independent but holds liberal stances on issues like climate change, gun control and immigration, and he spoke at the 2016 Democratic National Convention...

Bloomberg told the New York Times Republicans had “failed” in their opportunity to show they could “govern responsibly.”...

Former Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee executive director Howard Wolfson will oversee Bloomberg’s spending efforts.
He hasn’t ruled out a possible White House run in 2020, telling CBS in April the odds of him mounting a candidacy were “not very high.”

This idiocy sounds like Pelosi’s “Economists agree that unemployment benefits remain one of the best ways to grow the economy in a very immediate way,”

Stop paying scientists huge grants to ‘investigate’ the whole pseudo-phenomenon. It’ll die in a week.

Follow the money.

Until there is a good, well-articulated explanation for WHY the “impasse” has to be broken, HOW to do so remains irrelevant.
