When humans are responsible for only three per cent of the carbon in the atmosphere, it is criminal to tax humanity on an inert gas plants breathe.

The science on global warming is miles away from being anywhere near conclusive.

If global warming is caused by a person’s carbon footprint, then why were the ice caps on Mars retreating by miles every year (yes, there are ice caps on Mars)?

And why did two of Jupiter’s moons — frozen balls of ice — become liquid seas of methane?

This has all been happening at the same time parts of Earth have been experiencing warmer temperatures.

The answer is because global warming is a solar event caused by variations in the sun’s solar radiation.

The United Nations and Al Gore never mention the sun when it comes to the earth’s temperature.

There are only about 2,500 scientists who belong to the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change and support the CO2 agenda.

The majority of them are lobbyists who receive funding through government.

Why have 30,000 independent scientists recently filed a joint lawsuit against Gore to compel him to testify in court so they can have an open debate about his unscientific view on global warming?

  The carbon tax is the biggest scam of all, designed to micro-manage every facet of our lives, lower our standard of living and drive industry overseas, where there is no fake carbon tax.

People don’t realize the carbon tax has nothing to do with the environment. It doesn’t go toward planting trees or cleaning up the environment.

It is paid directly to the private central banks of each country. In turn, they hand it to the International Monetary Fund, which uses the money to increase its control over foreign countries’ sovereign laws and rights.

The  United Nations is using people’s good intentions and kind hearts, along with fake science studies, to milk us for billions of dollars every year.

I am totally opposed to pollution.

I believe we can do a heck of a lot more than we are now doing to clean up the environment. The only difference is I have figured out CO2 has nothing to do with the environment; the idea has been hijacked by private corporations that want to tax us in every facet of our lives.

In actual fact, the planet has been cooling during the past few years. In other words, the sun’s radiation has been dropping.

Ever wonder why you don’t here the term ‘global warming’ anymore? The new talking point is ‘climate change’ because they can no longer prove the planet is warming up. 

The ice caps on Mars have started expanding again and Jupiter’s moons are once again frozen.

All these solar events happen in unison because of one common denominator — the Sun.

A person buying some beef or driving a full size SUV does not melt ice caps on Mars or change the temperature on Jupiter’s moons.

One has to ask who is really benefiting from this Orwellian tax?
