The US, which has not signed accords or left them, has reduced it's "carbon footprint" far more than those nations that have signed them. Those "accords" were merely pipelines to send US funds to other nations.

In Canada, I make too much money to get tax credit on my income taxes so it is a big scam for middle-class people.

Well so do I and I'm in the U.S., what's a tax credit anyhow? If you're an officer in the military you're not qualified for most of them.

This has gone on before and carbon taxes had nothing to do with it.

Yes, I am tongue-in-cheek about this since former POTUS Obama, Current PM Trudeau of Canada and PM Merkel from Germany are into KYOTO and not into the 2% of the GDP toward defense.

We don't even know that the world is warming up for sure Steve.
As I have and will continue to point out anywhere and everywhere the topic comes up our entire civilization has only been possible due to global warming.
There were periods many millions of years ago when the earth was quite warm.
That doesn't interest me.ice ages and global cooling have always been our most dangerous enemy..
The Spanish influenza was an enormous catastrophe but a single volcanic eruption can cause a several degree drop in global temperatures for years.
Mankind can adapt to warmer weather. Our crops can be modified.
Colder weather is what we can't handle.
I picture at some point a huge impetus to attempt global heating.

Yes, by then we'll be broke or we will be like the people in the underground cannibals like in the movie The Time Machine

PO3 John Wagner Remember, the world was flat and that was final science. Science and inquisitive science finds new truths. Chris Columbus did know believe anyone could go to the moon. Science is so final, every week there is a new report that says I will die if I drink coffee or soda. Other reports say I will live longer. I wish people would not give my wife those reports!

SSgt GG-15 RET Jim Lint - I have a deep science background. My interests are eclectic. I believe in studying REALLY long term data.
Really long term data suggests that MANMADE global warming doesn't pass the smell test.
People as a rule have no concept of size or numbers outside of their daily experience.
There's the trouble... hell the media make the most egregiously stupid numerical mistakes in their reporting constantly.
I knew a few journalism majors in college. Using Shallow and stupid as descriptors would be giving most of them more credit than they are due as a group.
Vain conceited and self centered? Yes.
