#1 We do not enact lawful policy on theory, nor do we penalize without an accurate causation.

Remember the ozone scam? That is why your AC costs more than your car now.

So occasional cortex is going to save the world with al gore propaganda to save a fake industry of science drawn up on a theory by marxist necessity.


An elaborate extortion racket.

You people could do nothing about this planet, the sun, or this Violent Universe even if your lives depended upon it.

Especially with people like THAT in charge.

Fake through and through.

Manufacture crises and pretend to solve it.
Always impending doom that communists bring to the table, and evidence is always short.
Always

I hate all their everything.

#2  If the "dividend" -- the tax rebate -- were distributed evenly, that would be about $1,400 per household.

Woo woo! Free money! What's not to like?
(aside from the fact that you sucked $1,400 per household out of the economy in the first place)

One thing never mentioned in these schemes is the overhead. Even when they are "revenue neutral" - meaning that for every dollar collected, a dollar is given back - you still need a new army of bureaucrats to manage the whole mess. They need buildings and forms and computers and electricity and cars and pensions. Don't forget the cost of compliance. How much time does it take *you* to fill out your annual forms? Free stuff ain't free.

I hate all their everything.
Yeah, what he said!

#3 If he's not as pessimistic, then he's losing his religion.

#4 
Climate history over the past 500 million years, with the last three major ice ages indicated; there have been others. These ice ages were followed by periods of warming. Had these Congresscritters existed in these times, they would been running around yelling “The Sky is Falling” Instead of doing something useful. Of course, “Climate Change” involves spending large amounts of boodle that we don’t have with much of it going to cronies.

#6 Snowball Earth. Deccan Traps. Siberian Traps. Ice Ages galore and these twits are all a twitter about. Runaway. Global. Warming. Caused. By. Man-made Carbon Dioxide.
Spend the money on adapting and maybe, just maybe, raising the standards of the poorest people. Making a better life for poor people instead of starving them with indirect taxes ... what a concept!

#7 Climate history over the past 500 million years,...

One of the premises of 'global warming' is that a small rise in temperature will trigger a run-away greenhouse effect. Looking at our climate over geological time, we see periods where it was hotter or colder, with more CO2 or less, varying amounts of oxygen and so on. But at no time did the climate get stuck in one state. It constantly cycles from warm to cold and back and has done so for millions of years. I suspect it just ain't gonna happen. Not until the sun burns out, and then, all bets are off.
