The politicians are busy trying to pretend that they know what’s going on and that they can solve the problem. But the motive they won’t discuss with you is the dollar signs in their eyes. They see this issue as a way to get more tax dollars because that is what they do.

If Global Warming was as big a threat as the alarmists would have us believe, then the proper course of action is to do something about it. Instead politicians are raising the tax spectre. Only one politician is honest about it. But that's because it wouldn't be his countrymen who would bear the heaviest burden, up to $40 billion per year.

The Cap-And-Trade proposal would be a huge boon to politicians. Companies that exceeded their caps could buy credits from companies that had extra. Commissions would be established. $$ Some politician's cohort would benefit from running that department. $$ Some cohort would be charged with establishing the cap limits. And of course they would need offices and staff. $$

Below is a list of the extra taxes that politicians have and want to impose upon you based on the Global Warming Alarmist View. Please note that nowhere do these politicians indicate what they would do with the money. It’s going to go somewhere.
