Evidence of past economic disasters, including one just two years ago,
*when there was no carbon tax*!!, clearly demonstrate that a carbon
tax could not cause an economic downturn.

Thank you for honestly revealing the underlying rationale of the
alarmist thinking. So often we get content free contributions from
the alarmist cabal. By laying out the step by step reasoning that
brought you to this conclusion you are a notable exception.

Just following the "Earth was warmer once when humans weren't making
CO2" paradigm.

Holy hell -- you can't be serious?!

The "earth is flat" is a more accurate conclusion than what you have
assumed...

PLEASE tell me you are just kidding.

You apparently aren't familiar with the "Earth was warmer once when
humans weren't producing CO2, so CO2 can't cause warming" paradigm?

False reasoning.

Evidence of past deaths, including one just two years ago,
*when there was no bullet wound*!!, clearly demonstrate that a bullet
wound could not cause death.

Sweden's record is worth noting. After the oil crisis in the '70s, the
country undertook strenuous efforts to reduce dependency on imported
oil. Since the early '80s, the use of oil has fallen by around 50
percent. Only 35% of the energy now comes from oil.
Sweden has announced plans to become an oil-free economy by 2020 and
already has a carbon tax in place. One result of the tax was that it
was possible to reduce income tax by one half.
This is in spite of an economic growth rate since 1990 of 44 percent.

It may have something to do with the fact that Sweden gets nearly 50%
of its electricity from nuclear power - a decision which was
vigorously opposed by its enviroHysterics just as it was here. In fact
because of that reactionary influence Sweden has not built any new
nuclear plants in nearly 30 years.

However its new center/right gov't has reversed that ban and has voted
to at least replace older nuclear plants as they go out of service - a
decision which has of course provoked indignant outcries from their
reactionary enviroHysterics once again.

For a change we have some things we can learn from the Swedes, perhaps
most impressively their adoption of a progressive program of parental
free choice in education - something which would give our reactionary
teacher unions and their Democrat stooges conniptions.

Nicely put.

Altho' it should be pointed out in fairness to the Hysterics - not
that they'd ever reciprocate - that the fact of previous warming
periods accompanied by high atmospheric CO2 does not in itself debunk
the possibility that man is causing it now.

It's just that they haven't established the linkage. Basically, they
don't understand the difference between causality and correlation -
nor what constitutes a valid scientific proof.

The dishonesty then gets magnified - and their true motives get
revealed - by the social policy positions they advocate. (None of
which - even some of them admit - will make much difference anyway.
Not on the atmosphere. It will of course make a huge difference on our
freedom which they want to eradicate.)

Don't get me wrong. The previous warm periods are not irrelevant. The
evidence for that is the extent to which the ClimateGaters attempted
to erase it from the data and diminish its significance.

• Actually population growth requires expanded CO2.

So you are saying that CO2 causes warming *except* when it is manmade?

IIRC, you also believe that if demand for oil goes down, the price
will go up, and this will make the oil companies happy.

As those Zany Socialist Swedes would say: Huh?!

Yeah, I'm familiar with it, so what?

Is you post supposed to be a parody of that?
