These globalist tyrants and their useful idiots are always coming up with different schemes to crush freedom.

Screw him. I’ll bet he doesn’t live someplace that is known to have 60+ day runs of temperatures over 100 degrees.

Funny how it’s always a socialist billionaire telling everyone else how they should live.

These socialists have been saying the same stuff for years. Cap and trade and carbon taxes are just wealth redistribution schemes. I’m sure most of us here are aware of this and I’m preaching to the choir.

To mitigate a huge problem like climate change....

Yep, lost me at the very first sentence. The same people who can't figure out how to get potholes filled and streets repaved are somehow capable enough to 'save the planet'. I laugh in these moron's faces.

Call me when cap & trade extends to private jets.

In essence, this kind of flexible rationing...

This is all you need to know right here...rationing. Uh, no thanks.

Look at other parts of the world, how they DON’T saddle themselves with such feel good restrictions. They just keep jockeying for position, ahead of us with manufacturing, military, whatever.

Numbers don’t hardly go low enough for how climate charge would rate say in Afghanistan. Just more nonsense to sift through.

Well I does. The plan/problem depending on your income level would be that the very wealthy would continue living their lavish lifestyles (they are entitled) and would pay a small (to them) fee to assuage their guilt. The middle class would of course see a huge reduction in their standard of living. You can’t have the masses travelling or living well, only the woke elites.

A) Every socialist is a pervert, who is consumed with a desire to oppress others.

B) American ones even more so, as they could emigrate to Europe, and live under their desired form of oppression, but desire to stay here, and destroy the US.

C) As perverts, wealthy socialists MUST destroy the creature comforts of anyone less wealthy than themselves. They are consumed with envy, primarily, they are envious of other people to be comfortable and happy with less than they have.

I grew up around the very wealthy. Other than the ability to charter a plane, nothing else is worth the BS - and, for the most part, they know that.

What the people promoting this scheme are telling us is that it's OK to pollute as much as ever, but as long you pay for it (and who collects this money?), that makes it all good. Shouldn't the goal be to reduce the pollution? (Rhetorical.)

The author is trying to make an argument for the least economically destructive form of government regulation. This is similar to how Milton Friedman advocated for a universal basic income instead of welfare programs, and why people argue that there should be impact survival standards rather than specific requirements for car design.

I've been saying this all along and as time goes on it's becoming more and more evident.

The huge push for electric cars is not because of the environment but for control.

They will easily be able to keep tabs on where you're going, how much electric you are using and at what times you are charging. If they don't like how much you are using they will tax it more. If they don't like when you are charging they will tax it more. Your credit card will be connected to your car and you will pay monthly or your car will be shut down which they can do remotely.

Everyone is talking about the performance of these electric cars and it's undeniable. Once they are out and someone kills someone going a ridiculous speed then all future cars will be regulated to a certain hp/tq and the current ones will be neutered as an over the air "fix". Fun cars will be over.

The way we are going the next lockdown controls will be based on environmental decisions. I don't even want to speculate what happens once that happens but we can all be sure it's not going to be good.

I'm not usually a doom and gloom person but it's obvious we are being tested to see how much b.s. we will allow step by step.

Can we trade Bloomberg for a sewage treatment plant in Namibia
