NASA’s Dr James Hanson says the Paris Climate Summit was a trick and a hoax because they did not implement a carbon tax.
A carbon tax is the biggest thing that mankind could do to prevent global warming, says Dr Hanson.
A carbon tax makes fossil power dearer so that makes people naturally switch to cheaper solar power. Without a carbon tax most people won’t make that switch to Solar Power.
From a hilltop in North Sydney I could see hundreds of roofs, but I could only see one single roof that had solar panels on it in 2014.
Once our planet becomes uncomfortably hot, it will then be far too late for any carbon tax. Global warming means global famine.
The people who sell fossil fuels don’t want a carbon tax.
Peter Olson, Goonengerry
As I see it. Carbon taxes and carbon trading schemes have one fatal flaw. The detail of enforcement and criteria is provided by politicians.
Politicians of dominating parties left or right represent business interests.
What you are therefore left with is a tax that will not be enforced and a trading scheme from which shylocks will make plenty of money but have little effect on carbon emissions.
