Comment | You wouldn’t think it was possible but government has figured how to tax the very air all living things depend upon to survive. You might say that’s crazy and not true. You wouldn’t doubt that global warming is happening though. In the most awful of ways you have been tricked into a tax for air. Government has said that carbon dioxide is a poison and a man made cause of green house effect of our planet and in order to save us from our selves they make laws to regulate carbon dioxide emissions. Of course these regulations are just another way of getting to your money with direct or indirect cost for your air. In my life time I have been bombarded with and regulated into oblivion in the saving of the planet from humans. That is a time period of over 40 years that I have been directly or indirectly made to pay for regulatory agencies that have apparently done little to change the polluting of the planet. I say this because over that time period, according to global warming believer’s information, people are still the reason why the planet is in ecological crisis. Forty years is a long time to “fix” the ecological disaster but we have only succeeded in creating empires of 501 3C, special interests and government agencies. The gas, carbon dioxide, contains essential elements for humans and plants that are beneficial to life. Increases of carbon dioxide are absorbed and turned into energy, oxygen, water and healthy living for people and plants. The empirical data doesn’t support the theoretical assertions that CO2 is causing climate change. Our common sense alone tells us that earth, being the third rock from the sun, that the sun effects the temperature the most and that so many other things, like the position of earths orbit, volcanoes, water evaporation and earthquakes, to mention a few, change earths temperature, but we still allow ourselves to be told that mans release of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming. Humans, plants and the animal kingdom are all carbon based. To live healthy and productively carbon dioxide is an essential building block that is needed. Using the current levels of CO2 level of 380 parts per million (ppm) in the air, you realize that carbon dioxide is hardly at a level of concern. The threshold limit value (TLV) for human toxicity is 5000 ppm according to OSHA standards which tells us that our health is not in jeopardy yet still the proponents of global warming insist we are in a ecological crisis. None of this makes anecdotal or empirical sense and tells that we should not allow ourselves to be lied to and made to pay for changes in our behavior or regulations to reduce the levels of CO2. |
