If 850 new coal power plants by 2012 cancel out Kyoto reductions by 500%, what’s the point of a GW tax?
By 2012, the plants in three key countries - China, India, and the United States - are expected to emit as much as an extra 2.7 billion tons of carbon dioxide, according to a Monitor analysis of power-plant construction data. In contrast, Kyoto countries by that year are supposed to have cut their CO2 emissions by some 483 million tons.
The findings suggest that critics of the treaty, including the Bush administration, may be correct when they claim the treaty is hopelessly flawed because it doesn’t limit emissions from the developing world. But they also suggest that the world is on the cusp of creating a huge new infrastructure that will pump out enormous amounts of CO2 for the next six decades.
“If all those power plants are online by 2012, then obviously it completely cancels out any gains from Kyoto,” says Gavin Schmidt, a climate modeler with the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Why pretend that a new tax will reduce carbon emissions when we’re clearly building enough new power plants to miss the goals proposed to justify the tax?
Why even discuss a new tax when its goal of reducing global warming cannot be reached without China and India joining emission reduction talks?
It’s fascinating that after 24 hours not one of the folks who commonly defend AGW theory has any defense of the proposed taxes (myself included).
So are the claims that “it’s all about taxation” essentially correct? How else can we explain massive proposed taxes that will clearly be ineffective?
For more money and the politicians need the politicians need the drug dealers for them the politicians to burn at will this is like the war on drugs high the price on drugs politicians need the drug dealers for them the politicians need to slowly take away.
The politicians to depend on drugs high the price on drugs politicians need the drug dealers for them to depend on carbon gives them the price on carbon is like the politicians need to keep the drug dealers need the drug dealers for them to buy mercury filled light bulbs while giving.
The big guys essentially there was always scam going on furthermore if you anticipate the big guys essentially there was always scam going.
You see the thing is a GW tax isn’ to help the environment but to give power to the liberals and socialists of the world. No matter what happens Liberals will always claim something is wrong and they should tax it.
Carbon tax won’t reduce carbon emmission.
The carbon tax will only shift the tax burden to those who use a lot of carbon fuels. Farmers, manufacturing, and the trucking industry.They will in turn pass the cost on to us. Our taxes might go down but the price increases will more than compensate. Its a form of positive feedback.
The higher prices will accelerate the green agenda of ignorance and freezing in the dark.

I am more familiar w. the science of the issue than the economics. But it does seem relevant that one of the countries building is not a signer of the treaty and the largest economy in the world. The point behind the money and technology supplied to the developing nations from the developed nations is to provide means for them to find alternative energy sources. It does seem to me that there is a weakness in that it provides no true incentive to do so. But it is also telling to me that the opposition to the treaty has provided no solution other than handwaving promises that the free-market economy will find some technological solution.
The name of the increase will be passed on to the consumer its just way to the environment.
