No we don’t.

Good grief!

[Altura Ct.]

We are?

“Americans want a tax on carbon pollution, but how to get one?”

Whoa. Wait, what?

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly!

[Army Air Corps]

No one asked me. No one asked any of my friends. No one asked any of my family. No one asked any of my coworkers.

[Sacajaweau]

BS

[Da Coyote]

Where the $&@ did they get that?

Oh, the Guardian.

Pay no attention to the Commie begind the curtain.

[Logical me]

Most Americans do not want a carbon tax. This is first class communists democrat bull shi!

[ought-six]

Some of the California and NE lefties may want a carbon tax, but they want others to pay for it.

[Cicero]

After I’ve paid my fuel bills, I don’t have any money left for anything else.

No, this is a bunch of cr*p.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

More fake polls.

[Billthedrill]

The Guardian quoting a Yale survey. Any resemblance to reality would be purely coincidental.

[Blennos]

Hegel? What is he doing here?

[hal ogen]

No...Americans want these lefty warmist criminals to STFU.

> According to a new study published by Yale, Americans are willing to pay a carbon tax that would increase their household energy bills by $15 per month, or about 15%, on average. <

Now that’s funny right there. I don’t know of a single person who would support this. Unless Yale asked the question like this: Would you be willing to pay a bit more each month to improve air quality for seniors and children?

But who the heck would support a “carbon tax”? Maybe a few unemployed coffee shop liberals. But that’s about it.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly!

Says Who?

Americans don’t even believe that carbon dioxide is a dangerous pollutant or they would stop breathing.

Americans are willing to pay a carbon tax that would increase their household energy bills by $15 per month, or about 15%, on average.

Let's see ... Electricity in the deep south with AC, $200/month over course of a year. Hot water and gas furnace, $60/month on average. Fuel for the cars, about $250/month for a family of five. That doesn't count inflation from trucked in merchandise, a near 15% increase in plane fares, and higher costs for services from Uber to pizza delivery. A LOT ore than $15/month.
