    How do you intend to generate the power for your electric vehicles?

    Yes, it's much more likely there will be no such tax at all because it will be illegal to be in possession of gasoline.

    I'm going out on a limb and will say that the Daily Caller article is missing some nuance.

    Fearmongers are always either insane or seeking to bully people into a particular agenda.

    I'm not worried. I'm fully stocked on ammo and toilet paper so the world can bring it's worst. :D

    First came steam then came gasoline and next will come electric power vehicles.They are working on batteries that can regenerate their own power.

    Yes. Just found the numbers in the report. Page 79 of chapter 2. They are talking about a price of carbon in relation to mitigation, reduction, and damage costs. And the $27000 is a far upper range for year 2100.

    They explicitly say this is NOT a carbon tax price. You guys are too easy to take for a ride.

    So we have gotten over the ice age they predicted that was just a few years away? Have we lost all that coastal land we were supposed to have lost 20 years ago?

    The IPCC has zero credibility and nearly all climate change studies come from them.

    So those cargo ships now taking the once impossible Arctic Circle shipping route from the Atlantic to the Pacific are a figment of our imaginations??

    People who would support anything this insane are called progressives? They are in fact totally backwards. In order to comply we would all be walking. Not even horses would be allowed since the methane they emit would be too harmful.

    Both sides have extremist nutjobs. Yes, the Left has tree-hugger nutjobs. OTOH, the Right has nutjobs who think it's okay to dump waste into the water system or drill oil regardless of the risks and, inevitable, damages. We can do better between those extremes.

    True, funny how things have a way of taking care of themselves though. Since Murkowski torpedoed Kavanaugh I here he's saying to her something like, Remember that Anwar deal? ... thinking of changing my mind now, Lisa.
