'Global Warming' tax?

Think you're not paying enough at the pump already?

Steven Milloy of Fox News writes:
Duke Energy, a leading U.S. electricity and gas utility, announced this week its support for a global warming tax — essentially a consumption tax on consumers of gasoline, oil, natural gas and coal. The tax is intended to reduce energy use and resulting emissions of greenhouse gases.

There is no evidence that our carbon emissions are heating up the earth. The earth goes through natural heating and cooling cycles.

Putting a consumption tax upon energy resources that are already outrageously and artificially high, is just another part of the manipulation process.
