That's what I wonder. If sending them money will alter the temperature could we send enough money to keep it in the seventies all year.

I have an even better idea, let's tax the enviros based on the accuracy of their predictions. If the sea level rises less than they predict, make them pay x number of $ for every .1 millimeter they miss their target. Or pay for each .1 degree C they fall under their warming projection each year.

The socialists think they can regulate anything. That's why the USSR failed. Democrats (socialists) would have been right at home in the former USSR.

I use to live in Detroit and my first indicator that someone was trying to con me out of some money was that they needed it right away before I had a chance to ask any questions.
Same here. This nothing but a collosal con game.

That's it! We'll tax the weather!

I guess George Harrison's song was a bit ahead of it's time,and not that far fetched after all.

Tax his land, tax his wage,
Tax his bed in which he lays.
Tax his tractor, tax his mule,
Teach him taxes is the rule.

Tax his cow, tax his goat,
Tax his pants, tax his coat.
Tax his ties, tax his shirts,
Tax his work, tax his dirt.

Tax his chew, tax his smoke,
Teach him taxes are no joke.
Tax his car, tax his grass,
Tax the roads he must pass.

Tax his food, tax his drink,
Tax him if he tries to think.
Tax his sodas, tax his beers,
If he cries, tax his tears.

Tax his bills, tax his gas,
Tax his notes, tax his cash.
Tax him good and let him know
That after taxes, he has no dough.

If he hollers, tax him more,
Tax him until he's good and sore.
Tax his coffin, tax his grave,
Tax the sod in which he lays.

Put these words upon his tomb,
"Taxes drove me to my doom!"
And when he's gone, we won't relax,
We'll still be after the inheritance tax.

And when the job is finally done
Tax that evil, evil sun

"My panel did a review and determined with 100% certainty there is no correlation between charging more taxes and climate change."

Ok, So I am the US. I say, I will pay the 10 billion and continue to pump out emissions. Who gets the money and how will it change global warming?

I have a better idea. Let's drill ANWR using a cleaner and more efficient footprint, let's dig for coal with a cleaner and more efficient footprint and then let's shut down China's coal mines and Russia's oil fields.

That should do it and the money the Chinese and Russians pay us can go into stockholder equity.

Who keeps track of the global temperature?

The same people who signed this report.

Sorry, it is a big scam. Temperatures in the 1930s were higher than today. But no one actually knows that since the global temperature monitors keep changing all of the historical records.

They want to tax the temperature!?

If the temperature goes down, will we get a refund?

(I know, silly me.)

I think there should be a tax on the sun. I mean, why should IT have an exemption?

Why didn't Clinton push for the Kyoto protocol ratification, if he is so concerned about this? Why didn't he negotiate more on the issues?

Hillary and Obama should be up front an tell the American people that they will impose stringent carbon taxes on Americans with the proceeds going to developing countries and the UN.

Why are all liberals so concerned about global warming?

In Global Warming, the liberals have found their best argument yet for convincing the unwashed masses that socialist big government solution(s) and taxation are the only thing standing between the citizenry and doomsday.

"Why didn't Clinton push for the Kyoto protocol ratification, if he is so concerned about this?
---
I think he knew it would be suicidal for the economy and his presidency to do such a thing and I am sure that he knew that he could refuse to sign it and in a few years no one would remember.
~~~~~~~
He DID push for it. It was rejected by the Senate of the U.S. 95 - 0. Note that a few less than half of the Senate was of his own party; every last voting soul said "uh uh, Bubba."

It is not about climate change or global warming. IT IS ABOUT growing government, having government more in our lives, having government controlling more of our lives, having GOVERNMENT TAX US MORE AND MORE AND MORE AND MORE to pay for their stinking socialist programs!!! It is about control and money they control. Stupid Americans buy into this crap from these pigs, and will feel "guilty" for having caused all these problems, thus happily give more and more tax money to "make it right" to feel better to ease their GUILT!! It is about control. It is about power. It is about socialism. It is about MORE CONTROL over our lives. To make us surfs of the liberals and big government. It is coming. Socialist, Marxism, Stalinism, Liberalism. It is growing like cancer and it will kill this Republic once and for all.

Exactly! Tax? The rich hypocrites like Gore can afford to pay someone else to use less energy so they can have enormous carbon footprints...but the poor are going to end up poorer if this somehow became law. Democrats, always attempting to keep people under their thumb.
