I did a post on this months ago about a carbon cap tax policy and folks it is soon going to be a real thing:

President Barack Obama is banking on a landmark carbon gas cap-and-trade system to both fight climate change and pump 80 billion dollars into the Treasury purse to fund renewable energy programs.

The innovative program — similar to one already in place in Europe — would rev up US efforts against global warming by reducing the output of carbon dioxide and other polluting gases, while raising direly-needed revenue.

The administration’s proposed program was part of a 3.55-trillion-dollar budget unveiled by the president Thursday, which outlines a cap-and-trade system which would limit emissions of greenhouse gases by manufacturers, and permit companies to trade the right to pollute to other manufacturers.

The program forces heavy polluters to buy credits from companies that pollute less, creating financial incentives to fight global warming.

Did you happen to catch the one line in there about “while raising direly-needed revenue.”  So every time that you drive your car, turn on a light or run your air conditioner,  you will be contributing your money to the big government spending ideas of Barack Obama and his band of liberal goons.  Thanks America for voting for this “change”.  Global warming is a damn hoax just to tax us and to give government more power.  I’m all for renewable energy, anything to get away from foreign oil, but you don’t use the excuse of renewable energy to tax the shit out of people and companies.  Read the full  story.

Here is a great story to read about the beginnings of the global warming hoax that was written by the founder of The Weather Channel:

The key players are now all in place in Washington and in state governments across America to officially label carbon dioxide as a pollutant and enact laws that tax we citizens for our carbon footprints.

Only two details stand in the way, the faltering economic times and a dramatic turn toward a colder climate. The last two bitter winters have led tthe public to be skeptical that any runaway global warning. There is now awareness that there may be reason to question whether CO2 is a pollutant and a significant greenhouse gas.

How did we ever get to this point where bad science is driving big government? And how will we ever stop it?  Read the full story.
