Here's what mightve happened if the Cap n Trade Tax had gone through:
Interviewer: If what youre saying about the greenhouse effect is true, and the Cap n Trade Tax passes, is anything going to look different down there in 20 years?
James Hansen: The West Side Highway [which runs along the Hudson River] will be totally grown over with grass. And there will be boards over the windows across the street because of the closed businesses forced into bankruptcy due to the draconian Tax combined with unreasonable and unfair environmental laws limiting harmless CO2. And the same birds wont be there because the extreme poverty brought on by these unreasonable laws will cause almost everyone to have to take up hunting to survive. The trees in the median strip will be gone to be used for fuel to keep citizens from freezing to death. There will be more police cars to arrest those trying to cut down the trees to save their lives. Why? Well, you know what happens to crime when you steal everything from a people and turn their once free Capitalist country into a Third Word country. Under extreme greenhouse laws, the likelihood of a Communist Totalitarian government being in control increases.
That is great. Perfect. If you could administer Sodium Pentathol, that is what we would hear from them.
