Global Warming Scam News & Views

The best way to encourage the market development of clean energy technology is by charging a price for carbon emissions. Wow! The writer lost me in his very first sentence!

Since when is a world-government mandated tax “the market”?

How naive can you get. This guy is a baby politically, scientifically, and economically.

I’ve seen that the Arctic ice sheet is back to normal. I’ve read where the “global temperature” dropped last year.
I’ve read where the sun’s activity is at a low and it missed a peak that usually happens every 11 years.
I am freezing my butt off, it’s February 27th and it’s 18* with a foot of global warming on the ground.
When does it stop? When do the sheeple notice and start laughing in the face of the Algorians?
I would bet big money that there is no global warming. In fact, I suspect that the next 10 years will be a cooling. Just not sure how to make money on this.

I’ve got a feeling that a lot of these carbon offsetter guys used to sell used cars.

Unfortunately for anti-tax libertarians like myself... The term "shameless liar" doesn't even begin to give him justice.

Pay Your Air Share: How to let the market solve climate change The sun will solve this problem quick enough. Soon we will be paying people to pump CO2 into the air.

Lie from the web site:
Good News: The international scientific consensus on climate change science has recently shifted, and once contentious division has now shifted to peaceful consensus.

He only says he’s libertarian because he smokes pot and wants it legal. That would explain the moronic crap he’s putting out.

Most importantly, the carbon tax rate should be set as close as possible to the actual economic cost of carbon emissions, and not set by the whims of opportunistic and grandstanding politicians. Hah, that's a laugh. BTW, they could sell you some ocean front property and a bridge too.

Unfortunately for anti-tax libertarians like myself, economists know that the only way to charge a price for carbon emissions is by implementing a carbon tax. But unlike most taxes, which are implemented solely to make the government money and/or to punish an otherwise harmless activity, a carbon tax would punish an actually harmful activity and simultaneously create a market incentive for a technological solution to develop in response. Obviously he is not an anti-tax libertarian, and obviously he doesn't understand ANYTHING about economics, including the intents or consequences of taxes. He is an idiot if he actually believes that a carbon-tax or carbon-offset credits create market incentives for "technological solutions". In these two sentences, the author completely discredits anything else he might say afterward.

"Soon we will be paying people to pump CO2 into the air."Just like they were pumping hydrocarbons into the air to promote ozone formation - even as we put catalysts on cars to prevent hydrocarbons in the air!

If this guys a libertarian, Im in bizarro world.By the time the politicians get this nonsense passed, we'll be starting another decades-long cold spell.
And it will still be Bush's fault, for tinkering with the sunspots.
