Carbon Taxes: To Be, or Not To Be?- That is the Question

SIC SEMPER TYRANNIS!!!

"One of my top priorities next year is to have an energy policy that begins to address all facets of our overreliance on fossil fuels. We may end up having to do it in chunks, as opposed to some sort of comprehensive omnibus legislation. But we're going to stay on this because it is good for our economy, it's good for our national security, and, ultimately, it's good for our environment."  Barack Obama-Rolling Stone Magazine September Interview


Some form of Climate Change policy is likely to come after the midterm elections, whether Democrats or Republicans dominate the House and Senate. The only difference will be the form it takes on. If Democrats conitinue to dominate we will be more likey to see a "Cap and Trade" type bill come to the floor, whereas with Republican domination it may take on more of a climate and energy legislation, only not the type of policy favorable to environmental groups according to Energy lobbyist Frank Maisano. Many of the Republican side are more likely to question the aspect of global warming due to manmade activity.

However, we will more than likely see some sort of climate legislation. The next UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) meeting is scheduled for December of 2010 in Cancun Mexico, and Barry Obama hopes to have "an energy policy that begins to address all facets of our overreliance on fossil fuels," according to Rolling Stone Magazine.

In the scheme of things, climate legislation is important in the international move toward Global Governance, or a New World Order, and men such as Maurice Strong, Al Gore, David Rockefeller and other globalists have invested too much to let any obstacles get in the way of their plans for a world government.

And as always, there will not be any real choice between the two party system that is set up to steer us along the path of percieved choice, all the while presenting the same overall legislation, just with different dressing. We can have the choice of Obama's brand of climate legislation with "some sort of carbon pricing,"- or the Republican plate of Climate and energy legislation with a "safety valve" which would cap prices at a certain level in order to ease economic impact.

In the words of the Snickers Bar Jingle, " No matter how you slice it, It comes up Carbon Tax"

What you will more than likely fail to see on the menu is an alternative choice, - the choice of no climate legislation, unless we see a true emergence within the ranks of a strong Tea Party element sitting in those seats this November 3rd and on.
