NASA guy wants to tax EVERYTHING

No, seriously. Then get rid of fossil fuels. Then give everyone a carbon card and once they exceed their allotment, they have to pay. Of course, those who live in Detroit will get exemptions. As will those who live in Los Angeles. And New York. And John Kerry's home town. This is James Hansen, the NASA nut who helped start the global warming fiasco. Follow this link over to the Guardian and read the article. Then look down at the bottom and notice how many comments have been removed by the moderator. Looks like they are applying the same philosophy with comments as the global warmers do to the raw data.

Is it feasible to phase out coal and avoid use of unconventional fossil fuels? Yes, but only if governments face up to the truth: as long as fossil fuels are the cheapest energy, their use will continue and even increase on a global basis.

Fossil fuels are cheapest because they are not made to pay for their effects on human health, the environment and future climate.

Governments must place a uniform rising price on carbon, collected at the fossil fuel source – the mine or port of entry. The fee should be given to the public in toto, as a uniform dividend, payroll tax deduction or both. Such a tax is progressive – the dividend exceeds added energy costs for 60% of the public.

Fee and dividend stimulates the economy, providing the public with the means to adjust lifestyles and energy infrastructure.
