Carbon tax is just a scam, we need carbon for our plants to grow, without it there would be no life on this planet. The sole purpose for it is for New World Order to pay for their global dictatorship, remember that.
Remember in the 90's they called it "global warming", when people started to notice that the planet wasn't warming they changed it to "climate change", LOL.
I hate that picture of the polar bear:
Awww the poor polar bear is stranded due to the melting ice caps. Even though they can swim up to 200 miles.
In fact the ice cap in the north pole increased by about 40% last year.
The polar bear has come to represent more of a symbolic relationship of the forced nature of species adaptation. The jury is still out on the how these changes will actually manifest for any specific species. How far a "polar bear can swim" is only one aspect of it's life cycle. Probably more important is how the food chain will change from the bottom up, given warming in the region of +10 C (18F) or more. And most people, honestly speaking man, don't care about bears, they care about themselves, and "global warming" or "climate change" (whatever the words du jour are) is about change for people too. And change can be harsh, which is scary.
I will not speculate whether or not you you simply have a fear-based agenda to grind about a "New World order dictatorship" which is sort of a thin conspiracy theory poorly supported by physical evidence about ice caps (
and which is grossly incomplete). In the theater of competing conspiracy theories, one of fossil conglomerates disseminating misleading "scientific" data for their own profitable agenda (more accurately, their interpretation of the data) is far more plausible than one of a new global dictatorship social order, financed by a carbon tax that hasn't even begun to be enforced. While discussing conclusions from grossly incomplete data I want to also point out that plants do indeed need CO2 to grow, though obviously don't need >400 ppm to grow since they've been doing just fine for 500M years at 50-80% of that. However we need CO2 back to 350 ppm in order to survive catastrophic changes for ourselves and more importantly our children.
However, with that said, you're actually here to help prove a point where you and GreenCoin are in agreement: Carbon taxes are not effective and That's Bad. Or at least, in our position, carbon taxes and cap and trade systems are grossly inadequate constructs to solve The Problem, and therefore are doomed to failure regardless of the level of implementation they ever reach.
If you didn't research GreenCoin before posting, and merely bristled at the polar bear picture, let me explain the central premise: GreenCoin is a mechanism that serves a for-profit reduction of carbon output through a simple system of incentives for renewables that carry a socially-derived, open-market value. Some finer points:
- GreenCoin is owned and traded by individuals
- People buy and sell GreenCoin for their own selfish purposes; to try to make money or not, to try to help AGW or not (John Galt would be proud), or whatever their personal reasons are. That's a major
coup de grace against the "New World order Dictatorship" advancement. So we are on the same team here.
- Government involvement is not necessary
- Participation is voluntary, you are free to participate in GreenCoin or not
- GreenCoin is not a tax or other punitive measure on fossil based production. It's merely a socially determined, value-added incentive for carbon-mitigated production. And I'll do you one better: fossil-based producers can go start their own "FossilCoin" and solicit certain folks, The Great World Defenders of Massive, Coordinated Scientific and World Government Co-Conspirator Carbon Fraud, as buyers. Hence the term "free-market system."
thanks for stopping by and posting, I think these are important things to be discussing.
