37% and rising. Climate change isn't just an abstract scientific concept, it's starting to kill people. The giveaway that it is manmade climate change is that the increasing rate of heat death is occurring independently across all continents, in parallel with the increasing rate of extreme weather events all across the globe.
Climate change deniers, by spreading disinformation, are complicit in a small way in these deaths.
"In response to news footage showing the massive destruction and desperate families perched on rooftops waiting to be rescued on Friday, Environment Minister Svenja Schulze said that "Climate Change has arrived in Germany." "
If I say so? I didn't write the journal article. Oh, and you're not going to get published in Nature unless it passes muster for academic integrity and proper scientific analysis.
Carbon tax. If every good sold in the U.S. included a carbon tax based on how it's transported, Chinese goods would have a high carbon tax because container ships consume huge amounts of the dirtiest diesel oil there is. Domestically made goods that are transported short distances, especially by electric or hybrid trucks, would pay very little carbon tax by comparison.
A transportation carbon tax would encourage more domestic production and discourage the importation of Chinese-made goods while reducing CO2. Which is what conservatives want, isn't it?
Wow, just like the tax and regulations sent domestic companies overseas.
