Carbon taxes actually do work. To have the needed effect (because AGW is settled), they would have to be something like $289 a ton.
In other words they don't work. Saying something would work if we were willing to massively curtail our standard of living is not the same as saying they will work. Besides, which, all a high carbon tax does is push carbon intensive industries to regimes which have no tax, thus incentivizing them to have no carbon tax.
Sure they are - you just haven't kept up with progress.
No, not everything you think would be nice is a human right. It is not a human right to sit on your ass and do nothing and have me feed, cloth and shelter you.
Speech should be free - but everything has limits.
Really? And who gets to set the limits? You? Progressives? Because we've already seen that to progressives, the only speech they feel should be protected is theirs.
