A fool’s errand: Al Gore’s $15 trillion carbon tax

Ladies and Gentlemen! He’s the hair in your peanut butter sandwich, the bird dookie on your door knob,  the busted condom from an old wallet, the questionable taco from a Mexican food cart, the answer to the question nobody asked,  the nightmare of every masseuse ’round the world and the king of climate blame—Put your fingers up for the man of the hour…. Al Gore!

WaExaminer: Al Gore wants to reverse modernity and save the world from itself through an elimination of its fossil-fuel-based energy system. During the final week of April, his newly created Energy Transitions Commission released a document setting forth a fool’s-errand pathway to “decarbonize” the world’s energy system.

If this sounds familiar, it is. Gore’s plan features a new, sophisticated, and expensive public-relations campaign, but it’s all based on his views on carbon dioxide first broached in his 1992 book Earth in the Balance, which he reissued in 2000 for his failed presidential campaign. The subsequent efforts made by Gore during the past 25 years have transformed little from their genesis, and he remains as tragically wrong today as he was when he first surfaced as an opponent of everything linked to carbon-dioxide.

If you scroll through the verbiage surrounding the document, you will find the core policy recommendation is a massive, punishing carbon tax. Gore would start the tax at $50 per ton, which would increase to $100 per ton over time, essentially destroying the market for continued robust development of the world’s fossil-fuel base. Our economic growth and personal well-being depends on robust fossil-fuel use, so Gore’s plan would destroy these as well.

But, don’t worry! The all-in estimated cost to re-engineer humanity is only a mere $15 trillion—enough money to give every man, woman, and child in the United States more than $46,000.  more here

  1. There is no need to give Al Gore any more money by purchasing his phony carbon offsets.

    GOODSTUFF’S Carbon Offset Marketplace and Exchange (G-COME)
    Is where you can exchange, sell, buy, barter or trade carbon credits. The aim is to make this the one stop pump and dump carbon offset exchange. With G-COME you can now participate in a program where Aggregators and Brokers are not taking their slice of the carbon offset pie in the sky.

  2. So, besides a cold world where everyone lives in caves and tents, and eats raw meat, does “he” want a barren world as well? CO2 is NOT a toxic, it is NOT a poison, it is the stuff that plants live and thrive on. Less CO2, less plants. Less plants, less O2 (plants exhalation). Less O2, less (and less intelligent) people and animals. Does “he” want to upset Moochelle as well? Less plants, less “school lunches” (barf!gag!).

    On second thought, looking back at that second to the last sentence, maybe that’s the end goal after all……….
    If that’s the case, let’s have the Rev AlGore set the example. By getting rid of him, that will reduce the carbon footprint and offsets enough for 100 people for a year. At least.
