There’s absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever that raising taxes prevents global warming.

RE: There’s absolutely no scientific evidence whatsoever that raising taxes prevents global warming.

Their warped reasoning seems to be — raising fuel taxes will discourage drivers from buying conventional cars that ran on fossil fuels ( e.g. oil ). This will then cause users to purchase more environmentally friendly cars ( e.g. Hybrids and Electric ), and doing so will, reduce burning of carbon, which will of course help to prevent global warming and climate change.

The elite think in terms of what could happen a century from now, but the poor ordinary folks think of it in terms of how it affects their livelihood today.
