I don’t think Cap’n Tax has anything to do with the environment anymore. It’s about new taxes to bail out the BIG government, BIG banks and BIG businesses that have been taken over by BIG labor.
You are right, but the global warming is still cited as a reason it is needed by the loony left. Once they figure out that the rug has been pulled out from under them they will need to find another reason. The reason may be the one you have noted, but I hope not.
