EVEN if that is true and lets just say for the sake of argument it is, having things like carbon taxes just hurt the middle class and the poor. As I stated before, until the government actually looks into industrial hemps, it's all just an excuse for increased taxation. That being stated, I don't blindly follow that 97% of scientists agree. What scientists? Also, scientists aren't above accepting money to report bs findings. With that being stated, we should have an alternative to oil, namely hemp; however do you really think the big oil lobbyists will not try and prevent that from happening? What do you think they would rather do, fight for industrialized hemp, or push the government to add more taxes so that they can still make all this money; while the government makes more money off of the middle class? It's all bs. The UN has it's own agenda. We should have alternatives though to get rid of pollution and the dependence on foreign oil.
Yes, absolutely, some scientists take money in order to come up with an outcome favorable to one or other interests. Such scientists are corporate shills who deny climate change for the sake of their masters in the oil and coal industries. I for one do accept the conclusion of 97% of scientists, as they are not beholden to corporate interests.
