We'll all be unemployed, riding bicycles and wearing parkas indoors if Al Gore gets anywhere near the reins of power again.

"He's the lum loon-inary for a globe-spanning, rock-star-studded, anti-global-warming concert called Live Earth."

There, that's better.

Bad as a carbon tax would be — the scary thing is that it would be the least-worst “solution” for the non-problem of global warming. Everything else will be worse.

A carbon tax would be transparent (people would know what “fighting global warming” is costing them) — and that’s the reason no politican in Gore’s camp will support it. They don’t want to scare away supporters.

A carbon tax would at least leave it to individuals and (what remains of) market forces to decide what changes to make. Watermelons prefer to create a myriad of stifling regulations — ban this, mandate that — along with expensive subsidies for their favoured people and products. The micro-management of everyone and everything is their (barely) hidden agenda. “Global warming” is simply the latest narrative they’re using to justify a command and control nanny state.

If he's gonna tax people for emitting carbon he'll have to tax the world for breathing.

Or, if he's gonna tax people for emitting too much carbon he'll have to tax himself the heaviest since he consumes about 20 times the amount of energy as the average American in that mansion of his.
