Climate [Hoax] Bill, R.I.P. | Rolling Stone Politics
Taking a page from the "death panel" lies, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and energy-funded groups like Americans for Prosperity waged an all-out campaign against the climate bill, indelibly branding common-sense penalties on climate polluters as "taxes." With no one making an effective pitch for economy-wide carbon limits, "cap and trade" quickly became the bill that dare not speak its name.
In the idiotic illustration below, that black smoke is supposed to be carbon dioxide, am I right?

Ahh, nostalgia! The bloated capitalist with his cigar and smokey factories, even young Gaia's1940s-style swimsuit.
