No, folks, it's not "globull warming."
I know, I know, we're all going to drown if we don't "stop" it. Of course this means forcing India and China to cut carbon emissions, since they're the largest emission growth engines and will be for the foreseeable future, following by sub-Saharan Africa and other parts of the world that are yet to become industrialized nations.
That is never going to happen without the use of force -- that is, killing people -- and for good reason too, because if you live in a straw hut you'd probably like to do better, and to do better you need energy.
The real reason to impose carbon taxes and similar nonsense is to disadvantage the west and our modern society for the purpose of control while giving huge sums of money to favored people to redistribute under the guise of "leadership." What it really amounts to is theft at gunpoint used for "global welfare payments."
Nothing more or less. Further, it gets (much) worse.
