Great! Another tax. How convenient. Just like when he an Clinton put a tax on cigarettes to "help smokers quit".

That's not a valid comparison. This would tax businesses that make their profits by polluting the air and risking public health. I'm sorry but it is not good business for someone to exploit a situation for personal gain at the expense of everyone else's well being. If left to their own devices, humans have shown through out history that they are very willing to injure others if it helps them get ahead or it may just be from ignorance.

@jmoosewilson Then do not look into a mirror. And I hope you do move from the USA and go live in your third world hut with no power and a average life span of 40 years

LIstening to this drivel make me want to puke... An inconvenient truth. This dude should be like an Adonis for shoveling so much shit! CO2 WARMING THE GLOBE IS A HOAX!

[jmoosewilson]

The shere ignorance of America astounds me. Global warming deniers make me loose faith in the intellect of the human race. I strongly support carbon tax, as a very green AND SMART American, others need the insentive to conserve, LIKE YOU PEOPLE! Scientists who support the reality of global warming are much smarter than most of you people, I bet it's your church telling you science is hokus pokus. I'm about to leave if America keeps going downhill, I don't want to be associated with ignorance.

Canadians complaiend about a $10 per ton CO2 tax, but the swedes pay $150 per ton. What's it about sweden that makes them ok with this? Denmark, Germany and Cost Rica are three other countries I know of that have a carbon tax.

carbon dioxide is good!! what the fuck is wrong with liberals???? did these people drop out of school by the 4th grade???

[enomarekim]

Anyone even considering a carbon tax is very stupid. There is no such thing as a greenhouse gas, all gases capture radiation, and a trace element in the atmosphere will not capture any more infared radiation than oxygen or nitrogen. Doesn't anyone realize that co2 concentrations increase in the atmosphere BECAUSE the earth is heating up, and there is no evidence that more co2 will cause earths temperature to rise. When the oceans heat up, they release dissolved co2, case closed, fuck al gore.
