The academy, calling it 'the most comprehensive report ever on climate change,' suggests taxing carbon emissions. The papers also raise the possibility that global warming might make it necessary to shift vulnerable populations away from coasts.
You can't just tax the US and not the rest of the world. You cannot just limit the US and not the rest of the world. You cannot single out one country to "pay extra" thinking it will have a global effect.
It's called GLOBAL warming..not U.S. warming.
Copehagen failed...whatever change that needs to be made needs to be made on a global scale by all countries fairly.
Just taxing for the sake of revenue isn't solving any problem. Cap&Trade didn't mandate any hard changes..not when utilities can buy cover credits on an open market run by Goldman Sachs.
Not when solar power net metering isn't part of the picture. Not when homeowners are at the mercy of the utility companies to get their act together but if they don't the customers pay the difference.
I'm all for green and cutting my footprint..but there's nothing in Cap&Trade to help ME do that.
