Reducing Carbon Has not Been Shown to Reduce

Reducing Carbon Has not Been Shown to Reduce World Temperature

""Taxing greenhouse gases is a policy that deserves serious consideration -- the kind of consideration it just isn't getting in the U.S. The approach makes sense in theory and, where it has been tried, has worked in practice.

The record shows that a well-designed carbon tax can cut harmful emissions in the most economically efficient way: by letting market forces coordinate the effort. Fears that a carbon tax set high enough to make any difference would harm the economy are contradicted by the evidence; carbon taxes haven't led to higher public spending; and, with a little ingenuity, the most vulnerable can be protected.""

The record does not show a massive tax will not harm the economy. The power to tax is the power to destroy. What the record shows is that no federal comprehensive tax, will not be " the most economically efficient way". Also no pile of money collected, will be safe from run away spending. Nor has congress demonstrated any ingenuity, except for lining there own pockets.

For a significant savings, ground air force one. Let the anointed one use ingenuity to communicate electronically. The technology support a virtual presence, which, by the way avoids traffic tie ups and makes protecting POTUS much easier.
