I thought it was funny that of all the websites and blogs out there that are rebroadcasting the blip from infowars (same formatting and selected text), and there are pages of them, that page was high on the first page which means it was getting a fare share of the page views.

Did you even bother to read the full BBC write-up or the original article?

...

So who funded the research that is being linked to by infowars?

I posted it after reading you were the one having knee jerk reactions.

The question was for You, Scombrid.

Probably some dirty Jew.

Who?

"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair

carbon tax

Markets can fix anything even the planet...you just need a little faith in Commodity markets set up by goldman sachs?

Bankers destroyed the world economy yet their carbon credit trading scheme will "fix this mess"?

Are you really that gullible WG?

-------------------------
"It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it." - Upton Sinclair

I don't think carbon credit trading will work as well as a simple carbon tax might.
Will it happen? very unlikely.

Smart money will be on land protection and reclamation, and finding out who's gonna be rich enough to invest in saving their cities.

That's an interesting response to WG's two word post.

-------------------------
...

WG, GAO reports show 3/4 of the biggest multinationals pay no taxes.

Bankers have trillions of dollars in shady derivative exposure backstopped by th FDIC...who is on the hook for all that?

Any taxes will just be passed on to consumers/citizens.

Looking for money or taxes to "fix" anything is questionable,imo.

"Any taxes will just be passed on to consumers/citizens. "

yep.
who else?
The point of the tax is to price in the real cost at point of use.

So you'd increase taxes on gas to create a slushfund that would do what?

How does that change the status quo?

Besides transferring wealth?

I fail to see how rescinding the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts and disbanding the EPA is going to help either.

I'm sure my well water would be safe if there were no pollution control laws.

Haha. Give it up. Cheech has the inexhaustible will to be right.

For better or worse, the physical world is constrained by...uh...physics.

No free lunch...unless you are born rich...then you grow up with a warped sense of reality...so you lose that way too.
