Why are we still having this debate...
Because despite claims to the contrary, it hasn't stopped.
Some claim it has abated, but I don't believe it for a poofteenth of a nanosecond.
We've jumped straight from Winter to Summer and GW has supposedly stooped?
What a load of $#!+ .. where did spring go?
I admit earth axial change (which is constant but has doubled in speed in recent years) probably plays quite a big part in the scheme of things, but CO2 [+ CH4 from undersea clathrates] has increased considerably in recent years, and so when the full impact hits, most of you will melt without 3 phase air con.
I'll real simple for you'ze .. Y'see it's like when you were a teen at the school dance or a night club ... all those organisms jumping around making CO2 ... and then all of a sudden it's stinking hot, the air con can't cope and the bouncers have to open all the doors.
This claim that GW has halted has been peddled before, and even went as far as to say the Earth was cooling.
I've never stated a tax would be of benefit or even make an impact, because in reality it was never meant to.
Carbon tax is just a way to make money out of the right to pollute more than we already do now.
GW hasn't gone away, and claiming it has is living in denial.
If Donald Trump is so close to the Ruskis, why couldn't he get Vladimir Putin to put novichok in Xi Jjinping's lipstick?
