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

Climate realists around the world have contended for years that the real goal of alarmists such as Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his followers is to use the fear of man-made global warming to redistribute wealth.

On Monday, one of Gore's leading scientific resources, Goddard Institute for Space Studies chief James Hansen, sent a letter to Barack and Michelle Obama specifically urging the president-elect to enact a tax on carbon emissions that would take money from higher-income Americans and distribute the proceeds to the less fortunate.

The eco-socialism cat was let out of the bag on page five of a PDF Hansen published at Columbia University's website on December 29.........

Go to the link to see Hansen's words of how those with big houses and big cars will have to pay more but it will all aid the "disadvantaged," among other things.

tire tax for recycling..plastic container recycling fee here in Ontario, so it means if you buy a quart of oil..you have a fee on the container it comes in...it has a recycling logo on it..but they won't take it because it had oil in it..ahh..ummm...yeah

Then they should go back to the tin cans to put the oil in. Any residue would burn off in the recycle process.

We here in IA are charged a 5 cent deposit on each soda pop can, 2L bottle, and glass bottles.

I mean come on now, Aluminum is the most abundant usable metal in the earths crust. And Glass is made from sand and some additives. They claim it is to keep the stuff out of the land fills, but I say it is just another way to tax the man.

I have lived in other states were they did not have the deposits, believe me people still recycle. There are always people out combing the ditches for cans. In those states they buy back the cans by the pound, at a recycle center or scrap yard.
