Are high taxes the real agenda on Global Warming?

Question

Always follow the money trail on these agendas? The weather is not expected to ever change?

Answer 1

High taxes are only part of the agenda.  The main part is direct control over people's lives and how resources are used.  Power is a more compelling goal than money, after all if you have power, you don't need money.  That at least is the motive of politicians.

For others, it is a get rich scheme without the difficulties of actually producing wealth.

But for most it's an opportunity to "care" about the environment.  This from people who rarely soil their hands actually doing real work to save the environment.

Answer 2

The day new taxes are not part of their "solution" I will answer no.  

That day has not come.

Answer 3

Different people have different agendas.

Politically the left has always been for energy efficiency.

Governments that are concerned about global warming will raise carbon taxes and lower taxes  elsewhere.  Since you do not see too many governments with such proposals, many in government only want higher taxes.

Answer 4

Nope.

Notable conservatives like Newt Gingrich and the National Review magazine have scolded fellow conservatives for refusing to accept the scientific truth of global warming.  They're not pro-tax.

EVERY major scientific organization in the US syas global warming is real, and mostly caused by us.  Of course you could accept the word of a website that actually calls itself "rumormill" instead.

Answer 5

I'd say so.  Did we tax asbestos, or did we ban its use?  Lead-based paints?  Science demonstrated the very real threat these substances posed and they were removed, not taxed.

Answer 6

The Red Chinese are the biggest polluters in the world, focus on them. The global warming myth is a new business created out nothing...brillent idea for those that will profit..at your expense natually via taxes or higher costs of goods and services.  

Answer 7

Nope.  Climatologists will not benefit directly from higher taxes.

To the guy above me, did you realize that those signatures are from veterinarians, dentists, GP's, or anybody with any sort of science degree whatsoever.  Hardly proof of a non-consensus in the climatology community since those people are not climatologists.

Answer 8

Taxes and control.   The typical liberal scare tactic.  

Answer 9

No

Yes

No

Why would ALL the world's governments want higher taxes (remember, this is GLOBAL warming)?

Even if they did want higher taxes, why not just raise them - it is after all the primary purose of government (cf. historical development of human societies)?

I mean, crikey, why go through all the fuss of (unrealistically) creating a secret society of scientists, researchers, media, etc around the world in countries that are both friendly and enemies, etc, etc when they could just meet, have a debate for an hour or two and then pass a new law saying "taxes are higher today"?

And what many sceptics seem to want to ignore is what is the cost of NOT doing something? Most governments around the world are coming to, or have already come to, the conclusion that doing something about GW now will mean less cost - hence LOWER taxes - than waiting until the unalleviated affects of runaway AGW hit.

As for "The weather is not expected to ever change" - by definition, weather changes all the time. From my window today I've already seen high and low winds, rain, a spot of blue sky...

Answer 10

Well in the intrest of truth in advertising let me play two direct quotes from the autobiography of the man who payed the bill on creating the AGW scam.

For more than a century, ideological extremists at either end of the political spectrum have seized upon well-publicized incidents to attack the Rockefeller family for the inordinate influence they claim we wield over American political and economic institutions.  

Some even believe we are part of a secret cabal working against the best interests of the United States, characterizing my family and me as ‘internationalists’ and of conspiring with others around the world to build a more integrated global political and economic structure - one world, if you will.  

If that’s the charge, I stand guilty and I am proud of it.  

- David Rockefeller, from his autobiography "Memoirs"

"Though Stalinism may have been a needless tragedy for both the Russian people and communism as an ideal, there is the intellectually tantalizing possibility that for the world at large it was, as we shall see, a blessing in disguise."

"Marxism represents a further vital and creative stage in the maturing of man's universal vision. Marxism is simultaneously a victory of the external man over the inner, passive man and a victory of reason over belief."  

"Such a society would be dominated by an elite whose claim to political power would rest on allegedly superior scientific know-how. Unhindered by the restraints of traditional liberal values, this elite would not hesitate to achieve its political ends by the latest modern techniques for influencing public behavior and keeping society under close surveillance and control."

"The Soviet Union could have emerged as the standard-bearer of this century's most influential system of thought and as the social model for resolving the key dilemmas facing modern man."

David Rockefeller with Zbigniew Brzezinski

No candid study of his career can lead to other conclusion than that he is victim of perhaps the ugliest of all passions, that for money, money as an end. It is not a pleasant picture.... this money-maniac secretly, patiently, eternally plotting how he may add to his wealth.... He has turned commerce to war, and honey-combed it with cruel and corrupt practices.... And he calls his great organization a benefaction, and points to his church-going and charities as proof of his righteousness. This is supreme wrong-doing cloaked by religion. There is but one name for it —. hypocrisy." This was the description Ida Tarbell made of John D. Rockefeller .--- Hans Ruesch

Answer 11

Yes, the global warming fraud is another made up "crisis" by the communists to redistribute wealth. It is time to stop this fraud.

Answer 12

Yes. Notice all of the proposed "solutions" result in higher taxes and more government control over our lives. In the 1970s many of these same environazis were screaming about global cooling and saying we needed to do the same things to "solve" that as they now say we must do to "solve" global warming. We didn't so what they screamed for, yet global cooling solved itself and so will global warming. These are just natural cycles and it is the ultimate in arrogance to think we can control the temperature of this planet.

Answer 13

Yes

If you buy any Engine with TIER II emissions you would pay upto 10000$ less . But as the Global warming is increasing due to Pollution Government is coming up with TIER III & TIER IV emission norms to reduce emission and reduce global warming .

You are paying high taxes to meet emission Norms .

Can we restore the huge trees that we cut down to build our house ??? .

Do you know that 1 single Tree can reduce temperature upto 5 Degree of surroundings .

1 Tree is equivalant to 10 Air Conditioners.

After Heavy Rains 1 Tree can store enough rain Water to reduce Floods in 1 Acre of land .

You can just Plant One tree to reduce global warming . If each one of 6 Billion population on earth plant 1 tree a year and take care of the growth of the tree then there would be 6 Billion tree in 1 year .

This will reduce Global warming in just One year time.
