Trudeau and other leaders show how little they know, or how little they assume the public know, by calling it a ‘carbon tax.’ But CO2 is a gas, while carbon is a solid. By calling the gas carbon, Trudeau and others encourage people to think of it as something ‘dirty’, like graphite or soot, which really are carbon. Calling CO2 by its proper name would help the public remember that it is actually an invisible, odorless gas essential to plant photosynthesis.I remember when they used the word "carbons" as a short name for "Chlorofluorocarbon" and blamed it for the so called Ozone hole in the Stratosphere. They outlawed Freon and found out that wasn't the problem so they moved on to CO2 being the great big envionmental meanie.
Warm Air Helped Make 2017 Ozone Hole Smallest Since 1988
Climate change is Agitprop.
A couple of years ago, Dr Ball was sued in British Columbia’s Supreme Court, by Michael Mann, for lying about “climate change” not being real. Mann had to show all his research, he refused, and essentially the Court said no confirming research, means you have lied to Court. Big No, No. Ball expected to win big in settlement. Also, since Mann personally received hundreds of thousands of dollars in grant monies from the US Government, he will be liable for deceiving the Feds.
