EXXON MOBILE CEO Now Supports a tax on CO2

Carbon Tax: The Lesser Of Two Evils

Climate Change: Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson, long reviled by environmentalists for his skepticism of extreme global warming claims, now supports a tax on C02 e********. A new convert to the cause? We doubt it.

According to Global Insight, ANPA could cost the U.S. nearly $7 trillion in real output by 2030, or about $650 billion a year. Meanwhile, 800,000 U.S. jobs would be lost annually for several years.


This is why Tillerson says he supports a carbon tax — not because he's suddenly seen the light on global warming. A carbon tax is the least damaging, least costly alternative available for cutting carbon-based fuel use.


Other things are at work, as well. Last year, Tillerson faced a challenge to his position as chairman of Exxon Mobil from the Rockefeller family, an Exxon Mobil shareholder that didn't like Tillerson's climate-change skepticism.


No doubt it's not lost on Tillerson that Sen. Jay Rockefeller has just been named to head the Senate's Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, and will be in his face very soon.

The rothschild family along with the Rockerfellers is the cause of all this global carp.

In the first place, CO2 is what you and I exhale and is used by plants in photosythesis...oh, and in return, the plants put out oxygen...something we use.

Wikipedia: "Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas as it transmits visible light but absorbs strongly in the infrared and near-infrared.

Carbon dioxide is used by plants during photosynthesis to make sugars which may either be consumed again in respiration or used as the raw material to produce polysaccharides such as starch and cellulose, proteins and the wide variety of other organic compounds required for plant growth and development. It is produced during respiration by plants, and by all animals, fungi and microorganisms that depend on living and decaying plants for food, either directly or indirectly. It is, therefore, a major component of the carbon cycle. Carbon dioxide is generated as a by-product of the combustion of fossil fuels or the burning of vegetable matter, among other chemical processes."

Carbon monoxide, CO on the other hand is the stuff that kills you...the stuff that causes all the problems when someone decides to sit in their car, in the garage with the doors all closed.

Wikipedia: "is a colorless and odorless, tasteless yet highly toxic gas. Its molecules consist of one carbon atom covalently bonded to one oxygen atom. There are two covalent bonds and a coordinate covalent bond between the oxygen and carbon atoms.

Carbon monoxide is produced from the partial oxidation of carbon-containing compounds, notably in internal-combustion engines. Carbon monoxide forms in preference to the more usual carbon dioxide when there is a reduced availability of oxygen present during the combustion process. Carbon monoxide has significant fuel value, burning in air with a characteristic blue flame, producing carbon dioxide. Despite its serious toxicity, CO plays a highly useful role in modern technology, being a precursor to myriad products."

Let me say this, they're just looking for new ways to take your hard earned resources, to support their lavish lifestyles. Besides which, it has been proven by historical record that there has been "No significant warming to our atmosphere", and that the only "warming" of record was "perhaps 1 degree nearly 100 years ago".

These people don't believe you're smart enough to do your own research, so, if you let them get away with this nonsense, it's no one's fault but your own. So, to recap, if they "tax CO2" you will be permitted to inhale for free, but in order to exhale, oh pay before you explode, you're turning blue in the face.

If theres anything thats causing climate change and damage to our planet then it is OVERPOPULATION -

Those in the developing world are breeding like rabbits.

But of course its too politically correct to tell these countries to sort their population problems out.

They should ALL be made to follow the Chinese model of a one or two child policy.

Bingo! :yes:

But of course that would anger Sarah Palin and her like-minded compatriots. According to her every good family should be comprised of at least 5 1/2 brains.

Most of all CO2 is created by our oceans...........tax that.
When is enough is enough?..........if they put a tax on BULL**** all the politicians and world leaders would go broke!
