The "Dumbing down of America is going to pay-off for the right wing.They know if they can keep people confused enough we don't have to do anything... The right wings wants to bring back the past and pretend there is no real problem.Many ancient civilizations have made the same mistakes but back then they could just move somewhere else...We have lost this option... Nearly 7 billion people on earth. Open your eyes. Read the hard science going on in this debate.Scientist are trained to challenge each others findings and debate, to them they are trying to give us there conclution but they must shout through the noise. Trully this is not a political issue. If 98% of astronomers said a asteroid was heading for the earth and we needed to do something NOW, would you agree with 2% and do nothing because its cheeper... PS Mars ice caps are made of frozen CO2...

You guys do know that man-made global warming has been proven to be a hoax to enact right-enfringing bills such as this, right? Let me ask you a simple question: How is making something as natural as C02 which plants NEED to make food and is one of the four building blocks for life on this planet, Natural? Do the research and you will see what i'm talking about. Also, why is it that the polar ice caps on mars are melting and we're not even on that planet!

However, just as Larson has proposed making the carbon tax revenue neutral to consumers, the cost impact of a carbon tax on domestic industrial users also can be neutralized. We would “recycle” the carbon tax revenue imbedded in their products back to them—but not in direct proportion to their carbon emissions. That way the anti-competitive cost impact is offset while the incentive for efficiency/alternative fuels remains. This would also save us from the competing idea of imposing fees on imports to offset the carbon tax they did not pay.
