Hell, why don’t we just tax human beings for breathing, too. After all, by decree of the EPA, carbon-dioxide - and therefore exhaling, and therefore actual people, are pollutants. We should tax people for just being alive. That will save the planet!
CO2 is a pollunt...yeah...
Let's counter with similar logic...
Who are we to deny plants the precious carbon dioxide they need to live and thrive?!? I say "SAVE THE PLANTS! DRIVE A HUMMER!"
Ha. They already do tax us human beings.
Don't write that in jest.
I have been saying that exact thing for quite some time now.
Soon, a government agency will command control of the atmosphere - for the good of the planet - and tax us all into uniform misery.
I predict it will become a Western World phenomena.
Part of the trend to Western Cultural extinction.
