It was posted and mocked already. What's next, the Daily Mail's analysis on global warming ?
Im waiting on the National Enquirer's take on it. Perhaps they can get Gore as a guest writer... thats about right to me.

Default NASA's Hansen to Obama: Use Global Warming to Redistribute Wealth

When will this dumb ass Hansen guy stop?

http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sh...tribute-wealth

This just confirms what GW is all about anyway.

PS. Sorry for not using my other thread. Figured this one deserved its own since the discussion is about wealth redistribution.

I agree with taxing carbon (Means the idiots will finally start to move towards renewable and help get us the hell off of oil)

But NOT to give back to the poor. This idiot has no idea how much money the poor really need.

The poor are not just penniless these days. Many are sitting on huge amounts of debt.

A MUCH MUCH MUCH better use of the money is to set up a prize fund to encourage backyard inventors to create American solution to problems. Such as that one that created an extremely cheap wind energy converter that can power LEDs overnight in Africa to give the young there a chance to read at night.

Taxing carbon is one thing, it's much like taxing certain products of consumption, however, carbon "credits" sounds like a shell game. Because some dick/jane says he/she will not produce carbon that they may or may not have produced, if you pay them, sounds like a gimic that actually has zero net benifit except for those taking other people's money.

Burning fossil fuels is different from breathing. Breathing is part of a natural exchange between plants and animals. The carbon from exhaling is balanced and surpassed by oxygen out put from plants. The carbon from fossil fuel is millions of years old, and excess carbon in our times because there is nothing to counteract it.

The carbon you exhale is NOTHING compared to that of even a Prius. You break up carbon chains to propel, keep warm, and to keep stuff working. Your body is not breaking large carbon chains to push a ton or 2 car or truck. Or running an old factory.

Tho I 100 percent agree that taxing the rich to give directly to poor is FAIL. It is MUCH better spent on encouraging technology dev so that the poor actually have a chance.

Or lets harness the methane produced from farts and run our cars on it. Damn, I am going to have to find a way to get a cow seat in my Catalina

In regards to cows there is talk of a cow tax due to just that. I thought it was a joke until I checked into it.
