And I've heard that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole and flies around the world in a Reindeer powered sled giving away toys every year near the end of December.

You don't really know how a carbon tax works do you?

Of course Earths natural mechanisms are at play. But we are exacerbating our planet's ability to cycle through greenhouse gases through their various cycles (carbon, sulfur, nitrogen, etc).

Are you reduced to name-calling and personal attacks so quickly? My, that sure was fast.

And your intimate familiarity with your grandmother's underwear is creepy and disturbing. That is all I have to say about that.

We'll certainly. How many trillions of dollars are behind polluters? Manufacturing, utilities, and energy production are multi trillion dollar industries.

And how many trillions are loaned against assets that will shortly be under sea water?


Too little to late.

It gets argued with religious fervor.








My take is soot started it and feed back loops keep it going, CO2 is an also ran.
And my take is climate is alwAys in flux, our data gathering is still in its infancy, our analysis of that data (ex: accurately measuring temps in the 1700, 1800, most of the 1900's to a precise, not approximate degree) to draw a good baseline, much less to precisely state with true statistical confidence prior years, our understanding of global atmosphere/ocean relationships, measurement of solar radiation for hundreds of thousands of years, etc... That man's impact is the sole cause and the cockamamie solutions so far offered are just that. That does not preclude in any way looking to lessen our global impact, including what we are putting into the atmosphere.

As stated elsewhere, I have more concern about potable water.

Too little to late.
The government funded coastal flood insurance program for homeowners? That is the leftists who are primarily championing that sort of foolishness.

However, the flooding comes from periodic storms, and has yet to pay out even a single dollar related to flooding associated with any permanent rise in sea levels, as far as I can tell.

Of course, we know it's just a scam to skim money from the producers.

We are a world powered mainly by the use of fossil fuels, it's the life blood that drives the world's economy.

So all these corrupt liars are doing, is pretending the are just trying to save the planet, when all they are doing is leeching off the the life blood of the world's producers.
