They're not conservatives, it's a tax increase proposal that would have no effect on the climate. Nobody is buying the idea that the US tax code is some kind of global climate regulator.

Fortunately, we don't have to worry about this climate change nonsense for at least 4 more years.

In my lifetime they have went from global cooling, to global warming, to climate change. The thing with "climate change" that is their greatest invention yet, they can never be wrong. Anything off the norm it is "climate change." What a freakin joke. If anyone misses about hearing about climate change pick up a copy of National Geographic they mention it a couple 100 times in each issue and blame everything on it.

In 2008. a group og world renowned scientists descended on the UN to claim that man-made global warming was a crock.

That made news for about two days.

Famed geochemist, Claude Allegre, a card carrying Socialist and one of the original man-made global warming advocates did A 180 on the issue.

He eventually said that 'it is not about politics. it is not about religion. it is about science, and the fact is that there is no proof that man has been the cause of the recent global warming.'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claude_All%C3%A8gre

"Allègre states that the causes of climate change are unknown. This represents a change of mind, since he wrote in 1987 that "By burning fossil fuels, man increased the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere which, for example, has raised the global mean temperature by half a degree in the last century"."

In an article entitled "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" in l'Express, a French weekly, Allègre cited evidence that Antarctica's gaining ice and that Kilimanjaro's retreating snow caps, among other global-warming concerns, can come from natural causes. He said that "[t]he cause of this climate change is unknown".

Allègre has accused those agreeing with the mainstream scientific view of global warming of being motivated by money, saying that “the ecology of helpless protesting has become a very lucrative business for some people!”

The ensuing attacks on Allegre is similar to the defaming of the 31,000 American scientists who say man-made global warming is a crock.

Keep up, it is now "climate disruption". So now when ever there is a bad flood or storm, they can point and say 'see, climate disruption'....

Carbon taxes are a government tax grab designed to take more money out of your pockets.
They have little or no effect on climate and environment in North America.
Furthermore, they drive up the cost of virtually everything that is trucked in from another city or State.
Electricity bills, natural gas and coal costs also shoot up.
A Carbon tax is a terrible idea.

Plus there are not guarantees that, if MMCC is actually real, that what where doing by controlling carbon burning/releasing will change things, or change them enough to make the difference in the various things they claim are affected. Or if you're a doomsayer, change things in time.
