Great job!

It's a shame that most Americans don't care enough to educate themselves about this issue.

There's a carbon balance between organisms taking in CO2 and those exhaling it. That balance hasn't changed much since humans have been around, until the last hundred years. Fossil fuel extraction currently produces a carbon burden of somewhere around 100M MT/day CO2. The ocean adsorbs most of it, and the atmosphere the rest. Breathing's not the problem. Deforestation is bad but trees alone can't absorb that burden. We're introducing new CO2 to the atmosphere. Check your math.

Heres the real solution forget the carbon tax, Plant more trees and stop deforestation. This will alow the trees to "inhale" CO2 and produce oxygen for humans to breathe. This carbon tax is freidiculous carbon is not harmful as you breathe guess what your exhaling? thats right CO2 so should we all get taxed for exhaling?

Even IF global warming's a scam, this video's plan is STILL a very good thing. It creates incentives to cut carbon emissions, which is a terrible disease-causing pollutant that robs us of breathable oxygen - WHETHER OR NOT they're also warming the planet. It meets the VERY desirable goal of cleaning the air, without the corrupt shell games that enrich those offering false solutions. EVEN IF it turns out climate change was bogus, we're still ahead, & the power is still in the hands of the people!

Using thorium, we can reduce our net co2 output to zero or less. It won't take new taxes - the private sector can do it on its own - the government need only get out of the way. See energyfromthorium com.

Even if global warming is a myth, pollution is not.

EPAs Climate Con

NY POST

Three states last week filed papers challenging the Environmental Protection Agency's scheme to use global-warming fears to seize sweeping power over much of the US economy

Officials in TX, VA,&AL charge that recent revelations challenging the scientific "consensus" that humans are causing catastrophic warming also undermine the EPA's decision to regulate greenhouse gasses as a pollutant - which would give it inordinate power over nearly every industry in the country

EPA's Climate Con PT 2

NY POST

Giving the EPA power over carbon would subject factories, farms and even large apartment buildings to onerous new red tape -- and raise the prospect of the agency shutting some of them down entirely.

Bye-bye, economic recovery.

Not that the EPA cares about whether or not there's a "consensus." The agency's ruling would essentially impose by fiat the cap-and-trade tax that President Obama couldn't get through Congress.

All that matters is its own power.

Obama record? Please tell me you're not ignorant to the fact that the deficits that this administration faces were inherited from 8 years of failed Republican fiscal policy. The Obama administration began its mandate with the Bush deficit in full bloom! Obama's public relations mistake was not to brand the deficit the "Republican deficit" so that people like you would not forget who created the deficit in the first place. We went from biggest superavit in history (Clinton) too biggest deficit.
