Can we thank Al Gore for creating the worlds largest tax, that we will pay the majority to the UN?

U.S. reversal under pressure leads to climate deal "If for some reason you are not willing to lead, leave it to the rest of us," Kevin Conrad, the negotiator from Papua New Guinea, told the U.S. delegation in the wee hours of Saturday morning. "Please, get out of the way." Minutes later, the Americans agreed. http://www.iht.com/articles/2007/12/16/asia/climate.1-189601.php Global Carbon Tax Urged at UN Climate Conference BALI, Indonesia – A global tax on carbon dioxide emissions was urged to help save the Earth from catastrophic man-made global warming at the United Nations climate conference. A panel of UN participants on Thursday urged the adoption of a tax that would represent “a global burden sharing system, fair, with solidarity, and legally binding to all nations.” “Finally someone will pay for these [climate related] costs,” Othmar Schwank, a global tax advocate, told Inhofe EPW Press Blog following the panel discussion titled “A Global CO2 Tax.” Schwank is a consultant with the Switzerland based Mauch Consulting firm Schwank said at least “$10-$40 billion dollars per year” could be generated by the tax, and wealthy nations like the U.S. would bear the biggest burden based on the “polluters pay principle.” The U.S. and other wealthy nations need to “contribute significantly more to this global fund,” Schwank explained. http://epw.senate.gov/public/index.cfm?FuseAction=Minority.Blogs&ContentRecord_id=d5c3c93f-802a-23ad-4f29-fe59494b48a6&Issue_id=

1. since the lib.s want to tax the rich even more, Why not have a special tax for the rich liberals to pay for this criminal global warming b.s.
2. No, I won't be thanking him for causing me to have to pay taxes to OTHER countries too....someone needs to stop this crap NOW! I pay enough to my OWN country!
3. You can thank Gore for trying to save the world. Do you have any idea of the billions that have been wasted by Bush's war? That's what you should be angry about.
4. This was the plan from the very beggining. Al Gore and company knew EXACTLY what they were doing when they started this whole Global Warming Scam. And the Sheeple have bought into it hook, line, and sinker. Do you think there is a chance in hell good old Global Warming Al wont see a nice chunk of that 10-40 BILLION dollar tax the UN wants the US to pay kicked back his way? If you dont.... think again. Think this WONT affect our economy negatively? Think again.
5. I read things like this, and I think wow, some people just don't 'get it'
6. yes, algore, thanks to u, who travels around the globe in a jumbo jet, limousine, and sport utility vehicle. we all need to pay for our sins in new taxes, but algore may live in his 7000 sf mansion and live his posh lifestyle. effu algore
7. Al Gore invented stupidity
8. "U.S. reversal under pressure leads to climate deal" You don't understand, the US waited until the last possible minute to say yes we agree to a meeting in 2009 and the world leaders cheered as tho Cesar had arrived to save them. "Global Carbon Tax Urged at UN Climate Conference" The US is in now to lead and now they will benefit from any taxes collected to transform our new green world. The US will have them people paying us to modernize our industries Get it, Cesar waited for the right time to take from them and give them the crumbs as they are accustom to
9. Should we have a tire fire in honor of him? It's redistribution of wealth on a global scale
10. yes we can thank him but we need to figure out what he does to avoid paying taxes and then do the same thing all we need is another dem like him and the ss united states will rapidly sink like the rms titanic how many holes can the dems punch in our economy before it collapses?
