Climate-change science weak
[Tom Harris] Sadly, the public opinion poll Smol was commenting on failed to ask the most important question of all, "Do you believe that emissions of carbon dioxide from human activities are causing dangerous global warming and other problematic climate change?"

It must be "dangerous" climate change that is being asked about.

Anything less than dangerous, while interesting to scientists, is of no concern to politicians who continue to divert billions of taxpayer dollars to the climate file while important social programs remain underfunded.

KENNETH RICHARDS: Carbon-tax will blunt extreme climate change, boost economy - Opinions in The Bee - fresnobee.com
Even if we can't agree on a tax of $100 per ton of carbon dioxide for the sake of environmental protection, a more modest tax of $30 per ton is just good for economic health.

Far from being a drag on the economy, the change would spur growth and innovation by reducing income taxes that discourage labor and capital investments.
