Thank you, my friend LTC (Join to see) for sharing the insightful perspective of The National Review on the ludicrous shell game which is sham - taxing carbon emissions.
Tongue-firmly-in-cheek :-)
It may make sense to tax nations with a negative balance of trees [which take in carbon dioxide and through photosynthesis emit oxygen] in a semi-log ratio compared to major sources of carbon dioxide including humans and animals [census could be used for estimate]. This would weigh heavily on Saudi Arabia and the Gulf States as well as Russia and Greenland :-)
Don't be surprised if somebody in the government isn't working on similar convoluted process :-)
"the Climate Leadership Council’s plan — recently backed by 27 Nobel Prize–winning economists and other economic luminaries — calls for a nationwide tax starting at $40 a ton on carbon dioxide emissions, on efficiency grounds. (All figures in U.S. dollars.) It vows that “the majority of American families . . . will benefit financially by receiving more in ‘carbon dividends’ than they pay in increased energy prices.” A tax that pays you sure sounds appealing! But a word of caution: If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Up here in Canada, we’ve been burned by the same promise."

Absolutely correct. She is as deliberately ignorant as anyone can be. This is a scam to milk people out of their hard earned money.

Canada’s Justin Trudeau fights carbon tax backlash from all sides | RallyPoint
Leonardo DiCaprio said as Howard Hughes-"it's the wave of the future!" Yes, the backlash wave of the future. 2 States(Washington and Oregon) voted no for carbon taxes. 3 provinces in Canada are taking the federal government to court to stop carbon taxes. France is having over two weeks of rioting due to carbon taxes! It's the wave of the future! Democrats from the US, Liberals from Canada, worldwide Environmental socialists like Sanders and...

Exactly what they should be doing. If I were a producer of flags I would make that one.
