What's that supposed to mean?
Here in America a lot of people don't believe in global warming or that we are even capable as a race of harming our environment. Only God can do that according to some people. These people don't represent the majority bu any means but they do have the largest mouths about it. So they have created a myth concerning Al Gore and his movie and research. The myth is that the whole thing was created to put more money in the pockets of people that want to fight global warming through the collection of carbon taxes and building energy systems that don't destroy the environment. The people that are interested in destroying the environment in their pursuit of greater wealth have created a fantastic propaganda machine. They produce millions of gallons of kool aid and distribute it over the airwaves and the internet. People here call it drinking the Kool aid in reference to the late Jim Jones. In this case it has to do with the fact that if you believe that global warming is not happening you are drinking the kool aid and helping to destroy the Earth.
Try not to worry too much about it. The rest of the civilized world has figured it out. We're just a little slow over here.
Kristy. The carbon taxes and credits are as stated taxes on businesses and producers that produce carbons. Carbons of course are what is causing our environment to be warming at an alarming rate. It is the reason the average temperature of the ocean has gone up by 2 degrees and is causing all this crazy weather and melting the ice caps and glaciers around the world. So other civilized countries are charging for tonnage of carbon emitted into the air. The businesses are allowed to produce an acceptable amount of carbon emissions. If they produce less than they are allowed they can sell the unused credits to other companies that are exceeding their limit.It will encourage power companies to use better scrubbers on their coal plants and switch to the newest technology to avoid having to pay a carbon tax if they exceed their credits. Companies with fleet vehicles will have incentive to switch to vehicles powered by natural gas instead of diesel. Overall it would clean stuff up a lot and help lower our dependance on foreign oil. This of course would lower profits for many companies for a while until conversion cost are absorbed. Money or environment. Which is more important? When you're a 50-100 year old oil company executive the answer to that one is pretty clear. Just ask Rupert.
You're right about Wikepedia. Bit of a joke isn't it?
