When Democrats say America must “do something” about global warming, they never fully explain what that “something” is. Instead, they talk in nebulous terms about “cutting back” on the use of fossil fuels. There’s a reason they obfuscate. If voters find out what they have in mind, they’ll be routed in 2020, and they know it.
Having embraced the extreme “do something” plan known as the Green New Deal, Democrats have an nasty surprise in store for voters who haven’t looked beneath the lipstick and mascara that’s being troweled on in pancake-thick layers to conceal the linchpin of their plan to “save the planet”: a massive punitive tax on the consumption of fossil-fuel energy.
Just how big a tax do the UN-worshiping Democrats have in mind? They desperately don’t want you to know, but there’s a way to read the tea leaves. You might want to sit down for this, because what you’ll learn in the next paragraph will leave your jaw on the floor.
As reported by Forbes, a United Nation’s special climate report calls for a global carbon tax of $49 per gallon of gasoline within 12 years. You read that right: $49 per gallon. At roughly 100 times the average state and federal gasoline tax, the UN’s carbon tax “suggestion” would raise the cost of a 13-gallon fill-up to over $600, just for the carbon tax.
Think about the economic implications of that. The mega-rich climate shills who bellow the loudest about the alleged perils of global warming can easily absorb a gasoline tax of that magnitude. But what about the roughly 125 million typical American households that can’t?

The fact that everyone has the ability to travel about, even fly from one nation to another, is driving the super rich crazy.. The world needs to save that fuel for THEM, and them only.. They couldn't care less if gasoline was a $100 a gallon...
Thanks for the advice.
WORLDWIDE ISLAMIC SUPREMACY is actually prophetic - the last regime in the fall of the world system before Jesus returns as King of kings. The Bible says that China will actually fall in lie with these crazies. I believe this will all happen near the end of this century.
...and the year? ‘29 or ‘30? Congratulations!!!

If Paris streets burned over a proposed 25 cents per gallon climate change tax, imagine the global conflagration over a $49 per gallon tax.
That’s what a United Nations special climate report calls for in 12 years, with a carbon tax of $5,500 per ton—equal to $49 per gallon of gasoline or diesel. That’s about 100 times today’s average state and federal motor fuels tax.
By 2100, the U.N. estimates that a carbon tax of $27,000 per ton is needed—$240 per gallon—to limit global warming to no more than 1.5 degrees Celsius.
President Trump was exactly right when he said the Democrat Party was nuts. They're completely f***ing insane.
I don’t think 90%+ of all high school kids could read the book-—

Administered by the UN which protects the political class from revenge by voters.
That will completely destroy every economy in the world. Which is exactly what they want.

Missed it by at least one.
Nothing unusual there, I was never very good at math.
...but, that might mean you are due for a Birthday soon.
You could possibly be the record holder as oldest living Freeper. Worth a shot. Not sure if there has ever been a thread on just that subject. I’m not sure I have the skills to research the thread history to prove yes or no.
I don’t think I want that title.
Records are made to fall and I am not ready to fall.

All righty then. My lips are sealed, but thanks for sharing.
“Hum, another thread had it listed the UN was broke and needing money to pay its staff.”
I saw it reported about 15 years ago that the UN staff pension fund was $15 billion.
