(CNSNews.com) - At news conference in Paris on Tuesday, President Obama said "the most elegant way" to reduce carbon emissions is "to put a price on it."

He was responding to a reporter who asked Obama, "I wonder if you see any political path back home toward putting a price on carbon?"

"I have long believed that the most elegant way to drive innovation and to reduce carbon emissions is to put a price on it. This is a classic market failure," Obama replied.

"If you open up an Econ 101 textbook, it will say the market's very good about determining prices and allocating capital towards its most productive use, except there's certain externalities, there's certain things that the market just doesn't count, it doesn't price, at least not on its own. Clean air is an example; clean water -- or the converse, dirty water, dirty air.

The most elegant way to stop pollution is to shut down all manufacturing and power generation in China.

Ah, yes, money for politicians to spend makes EVERYTHING better!

Why, we should tax everything 100%, including income, so government will have enough money to make a utopia!

Of course, I’d personally much rather tar and feather every last progressive politicians....

I don’t know what angers me more: that a combination of politicians, media and dishonest scientists have conspired to great a false narrative for natural processes in order to grab control of lives and finances or that the people who believe this bunk think that politicians can fix it by passing a law.

Jane Fonda sounds climate change alarm in Toronto
The Star ^ | July 4, 2015 | Christopher Reynolds

"The climate change problem is the issue of our civilization. It will affect everything about our lives if we don't do something about it," she [Jane Fonda] says.
___________________________________________________

Here's Hanoi Jane remarking on the agenda that Obama refers to as (quote)
"The fundamental transformation of the United States of America"...

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline
______________________________________________

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971

From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

*******************************************************************

No great surprise here...

From RushLimbaugh.com:
Hanoi Jane Endorses Obama
April 3, 2008

REPORTER 1: Jane, who are you voting for?

REPORTER 2: Who gets your vote?

FONDA: Obama.

REPORTER 2: Oh, my God. Heaven help us all.

RUSH: The reporter for TMZ said, "Oh, God. Heaven help us all." Obviously the reporter is an Obama supporter.

This guy has been getting steadily more insane. I seriously believe he is a hardcore crack addict. A "free market solution" of "more taxes".

It's all his trademark Reality Inversion.

. . an attempt to RUIN America's Joyous Christmas Season.

Yup the atheist/Muslim prn would love that. Maybe he'll say another code word again. .

Obama is delusional, or as Levin puts it, he 'has a screw loose.' . or it's all a very well thought out anti-capitalist shtick that's being sold to the general public. . Take your pick.

Why does Obama remind me of Don Quixote? Bending at the windmills and expecting a carbon tax for his effort.

Obama is not a crazy person. He is coldly sane.

It would take a coldly sane person to get any portion of the people to believe that he can really cause the marxist utopia to flower upon the earth.
