Gary Johnson Backs CO2 ‘Fee’ To Fight Global Warming

DailyCaller: Libertarian Party presidential nominee and former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson said he’s no skeptic of man-made global warming and endorsed a “fee” on carbon dioxide emissions.

It’s all part of his “free market” approach to global warming, Johnson told the Juneau Empire in an article published Sunday.

“I do believe that climate change is occurring,” Johnson said. “I do believe that it is man-caused” and “that there can be and is a free-market approach to climate change.”

Johnson’s “free market” approach to global warming includes “a fee — not a tax, he said — placed on carbon” to make those who emit the greenhouse gas pay the supposed cost of their actions, according to the Juneau Empire.

  1. Libertarians–and I mean the ones who were Libertarians before 2016–you must be sick of all these arrogant GOPers, Nevertrumpers and Crunchy Cons sleeping on the floor, raiding the fridge and rearranging your furniture. Anything for a few votes, I guess. Most of them will be gone by November 9th, anyway.

  2. Go fucking wonder, your Goobermint is pushing hard on CO2 as the next wonder refrigerant. It’s called one of the “naturals” – and it is already here in window shakers.

  3. Very tricky there Gare Bear. I see what you did there – a ‘fee-market” approach. Very libertarian of you, distorting the market on anything consuming energy with a govt finger on the scale. That’ll surely fix everything.
