In fact, if it's only the CO2 that is the reason for the tax, it certainly isn't based on any scientific reality.
Without CO2 in the atmosphere, there would be no life on earth as we know it.
Plants need the CO2 to extract the Carbon (C) by the photosynthesis.
Anyone who has watched the Battlestar Galactica series knows that life on earth is based on Carbon. The fictional Cylons were based on silicon instead.
In any case. The fact is that we should be grateful that we are no longer living in the little ice-age
Another fact is that in the 70's there was a worry we might head back into another ice-age. We'll find out as time goes by.
It is also recommended for green houses to add CO2 to help the plants grow, because the air doesn't contain high enough levels! A level between 800-1200ppm is recommended. And doesn't plants thrive in "warmer" climate???
Instead of being taxed, you should be paid for helping the earth be greener and produce more
