I am taking an environmental science class in college. The left are beyond the point of no return. They completely went off the deep end.
I asked my professor how taxing companies would reduce carbon emissions. He said, because of higher taxes, companies would use less carbon so they won’t have to pay. Seriously. I said, wouldn’t it be cheaper to lower the taxes so companies can devise cleaner means to produce energy? He couldn’t grasp that concept.
He probably also doesn’t understand taxes are a cost of doing business. It’s the consumer that pays the bill.
Lol! Good luck with your education, just focus on the scientific principle and apply it with common sense and you’ll do well. Maybe not in a gov’t job, but in the real world.

When was in College, circa 2007, around the time Gore's Movie came out and Global Warming was all the rage on College Campi.
I worked in the Library and one of our Liberians was a Total and Dedicated Greeny, 100% no doubt about it.
Well, of the many classes and seminars they put on. Some were pushing the Idea of Clean Coal and how America needed to switch to Natural Gas.
We put Books out on Display for the library on that subject and everything.
Well, Hells Bells, Guess what, What do we have today on a very few short years later?
And they are Against it >:(
The Issue is not the Issue, the Issue is the Revolution.
