This article is an attempt to reach out to my free-market friends with five reasons why the carbon tax still is the best option for American policy - even if they're right about global warming.

Admittedly I didn't follow the link, but I do know that your everyday totalitarian moonbat liberal believes that a good stiff tax fixes everything and they are all too anxious to tax us into prosperity.

I think the libertarians are moving farther and farther to the left everyday... A “libertarian” proposing a tax such as this? Unbelieveable!

Three Hundred Billion Plus reasons not to approve any tax at all.

That’s the approximate number of people money is stolen from in the form of taxes in this country.

At least 90% of taxes collected are misused.

New doofus theory:

Even if the danger is totally imaginary, additional taxes are good for everybody.

Ummmmmm.
Ok.

The Price of Oil increased by 250% in the last 3 years.

It never made a dent in the consumption of Oil.

So the premise that a Carbon tax will reduce consumption or carbon emmissions is falsified.

The way to answer whether there is a scientific consensus about the effects of man on the climate is to seek the expert opinions of as many climatologists and economists as possible. (Think the AP and Coaches' polls in college football.)

Strikingly horrible analogy.

I don't know what the guy knows about climate science, (he admits nothing special) but he obviously knows even less about college football.

And he somehow thinks that 'consensus has something to do with the scientific process. That consensus thing went out with Galileo and didn't return to the Western world until a D+ college science student named Al Gore decided it did.
