“A tax on carbon dioxide would also be seen by politicians as a way to offset our severe budget deficit and staggering national debt. It would be sold to the American public in the name of saving the planet.”
People have to want to be led by the nose to believe that the earth needs us to save it.
They do.....and they do.

Harvard School of Public Health: Creation Care introduction for busy pastors " During the summer of 2008, Paul Epstein and staff from the Center worked with Pastor Ken Wilson of the Vineyard Church in Ann Arbor, MI to create and update these booklets. The inspiration for these booklets can be traced to the Scientists and Evangelicals Initiative's first meeting in Thomasville, Georgia.
Updates include revised content, a list of scientific readings, and the formation of a scientific advisory committee consisting of 17 top scientists who have volunteered to serve as a resource to pastors, answering questions and possibly participating in sermons.
Five thousand copies of the booklet were printed and sent out to evangelical pastors, along with a copy of the "What If..." DVD created by the NAE to provide evangelical background information on climate change, and a DVD of the PBS "God and Global Warming" program from the Scientist-Evangelical Alaska Expedition led by the Center in August 2007."

TAX ON A HOAX???????????????? This is just plain CrAzY!
Going to tax the air we breath? So will there be a monitor on our snouts, or they send a federale` out to monitor us? They are so CRAZY! CO2 isn’t a poison or a “greenhouse” gas, it is harmless. Hold your breath, you don’t die! And I was watching Dr Zhivago the other night thinking Russia Could Use Some Glowbull Warming! I hate cold weather! I always live where it is a summertime climate.
