GLOBAL WARMING
HOAX
HOAX
Our propaganda media in the United States has stated countless times that our planet is going through global warming but how many people actually believe this? For billions of years before even the first human being walked on the grounds of this earth there where plenty of smoke filling our atmosphere from volcanoes. What i don't understand is how the people on planet earth could be stooped down in their way of thinking that the American people actually believe that Carbon Dioxide is actually harming the planet. COME ON! you have to be stupid, you breathe in oxygen then exhale carbon dioxide! For those of you who fell asleep during science class, the trees breathe in Carbon Dioxide and in return give us oxygen. Now you tell me am i wrong or am i right? Trees are actually helping us. Now don't give me your BS oh the polar caps are melting and that i can't discredit that, WELL that may be true but what you don't realize is that the polar ice caps only had an increase in temperature by only 2-3 degrees, if it's really global warming then it would be a whole lot higher.
The earth isn't warming down, its actually cooling. For those of you who are wondering right now...Well what about the holes in our atmosphere that's supposed to protect us from the sun? Well my answer to you is haven't you heard of solar particles that are able to puncture holes in it? I mean come on people i can run on about this all day. My opinion right now, i believe there is going to be a major polar shift and that places like NYC and weather from Canada is going to become Florida's weather and in return it's going to be Summer all year long in places like NY.
I think these e-mails speak for themselves don't you?
CARBON TAX compared to CAP AND TRADE
alternative government policy to a carbon tax is a cap on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Emission levels of GHGs are capped and permits to pollute are freely allocated (called "grandfathering") or auctioned to polluters. Auctioning permits has significant economic advantages over grandfathering. In particular, auctioning raises revenues that can be used to reduce distortionary taxes and improve overall efficiency. A market may be allowed for these emission permits so that polluters can trade some or all of their permits with others (cap-and-trade). A hybrid instrument of a cap and carbon tax can be made by creating a price-floor and price-ceiling for emission permits. A carbon tax can also be implemented concurrently with cap.
Both cap-and-trade and carbon taxes give polluters a financial incentive to reduce their GHG emissions. Carbon taxes provide price certainty on emissions, while a cap provides quantity certainty on emissions. A large body of the economics literature states that because of the uncertainty over the costs of reducing carbon emissions, carbon taxes should be preferred over carbon trading.According to Weitzman (1974), uncertainty over the impacts of climate change and the future costs of reducing carbon intensity (i.e., the carbon output per unit of energy), are reasons to support price stability.
According to the Carbon Trust (2009), a carbon tax suffers from combining a set price for carbon along with a transfer of revenue from industry to government. This, it is argued, guarantees that the tax will not be set at the appropriate level, but will instead be determined by the politics of large-scale revenue transfers. With a cap, however, the revenues from emission allowances can be separately negotiated with industry.
Unlike a cap system with grandfathered permits, a carbon tax raise revenues. If the revenues are used to reduce other distortionary taxes, this can improve the efficiency of the tax. On the other hand, a cap with grandfathered permits can have an efficiency advantage of being applied to all industries. This provides an equal incentive at the margin for all polluters to reduce their emissions. This is an advantage over a tax that exempts or has reduced rates for certain sectors.
James E. Hansen has argued in a recent book (Storms of My Grandchildren) and in an open letter to President Obama, that policies to cap carbon emissions and trade permits for them (see cap and trade) will only make money for banks and hedge funds and allow 'business-as-usual' for the chief carbon-emitting industries. He advocates phasing out and protesting against coal-fired power stations that do not have onsite carbon sequestration (in the form of biosequestration[improper synthesis? or geosequestration[improper synthesis?] and imposing a progressive carbon tax

What does this mean to us?
1.) More Taxes
2.) Gives pollution companies permission to pollute
3.) carbon tax imposes the government to BILL you if you have a window air conditioner they can bill you if you don't have the specifics that the government wants like special windows, solar panels etc. BOTTOM LINE if you don't have it pay the fine or go to jail!
4.) Make the country have more of a recession and more people out of jobs.
