Are there or should there be? Current carbon tax policies vary from country to country. I suspect most have exceptions in one form or another

Well good. As long as those dirty countries have to pay the tax and not the clean countries. And, the polluting urbanites while us rural folk are exempted.

By the way, how much longer before the catastrophe? And what will the catastrophe look like?

Fos? If you say so. I haven't seen a correlation between weed and global warming. But it does make sense. Do you think if everyone in the world quit smoking that the ice sheets would grow back? Or some other useful effect will be enacted? Like maybe slowing down the effect of greenhouse gases on the atmosphere? Not sure what you are even getting at. Other than taking a shot at me personally (join the crowd). But whatever your aim, good luck. Hope it works out for you.

Pimp- I don't believe in global warming. I think pot should be legal. But if you are going to buy in to the whole global warming theory, you have to buy in to it all. Not what you pick and choose to blame or believe. The fault lies in your ideology.

All I was doing was showing you there are all things believed to be tied to this. Not just my f250 or f150

Relax amigo

GUNDERSON: Some basic facts about wind energy - Washington Times


Ok.
I done bashing wind.

"Let’s even forget for a moment that the plunging price of natural gas and its increasing popularity as a substitute for coal has reduced carbon emissions to their lowest level in 20 years"

Lolwut? Stopped reading that one there. The telegraph consistently smears AGW so I'm skeptical of that link too, but I'm not dismissing it on those grounds.

I wonder why wind is stuttering in the UK but blossoming in China?

Nuclear is our best option IMO

I don't blame anyone, or anything. Global warming is being studied because it appears to have had an affect on our climate. Weed has nothing to do with this thread or topic. I am not picking or choosing anything. The evidence speaks for itself. All that is required is a bit of listening.

Climate change is already happening. Melting glaciers and ice caps, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, rapidly migrating flora and fauna (not to mention EXTINCTION -- we are presently witnessing the most rapid mass extinction in Earth's history), prolonged droughts, superstorms like Sandy, etc. etc.

Drought is already causing lots of stress on global food and water supplies. This contributes to political instability. Google 'Arab Spring Climate Change'

Global warming doesn't happen all at once. Scientists forecast a 3-4.5 C increase by 2100 (global temperature has already gone up 1.5 C since pre-industrial times). For reference, the difference in mean global temperature between the coldest ice age and warmest interglacial is about 10 C.

That's fine. But when is the catastrophe and what does it look like in all its calamitous revelation?

Why do you keep asking dumb questions after I've already answered them?

Is this the response you were looking for?

Carbon Tax

By global I don't mean collected by a global agency. Tax revenue would go to the respective governments to be used as they see fit. Hopefully it would be reinvested

But who is going to enforce it or are you only interested in the US and Europe paying the tax? China and India get to skate by on this one also?
