The Waxman-Markey Energy Bill, with its three years of unemployment benefits, is designed to tax carbon emissions, something Dr.'s Miskolczi and Zagoni have proven to be irrelevant in Anthropogenic Global Warming.

[Hot Air » Top Picks] Hot Air » Blog Archive » Cap and trade: Where's the benefit?: It is remarkable, then, that the Waxman-Markey bill would give away some 85 percent of the permits over the next 20 years to various businesses instead of selling them at auction. The price of the permits and the burden to households would be the same whether the permits are sold or given away.

[Opposing Views - Issues, Experts, Answers] Opposing Views: OPINION: Cap and Trade Carbon Rationing Just Doesn ...: Americans should ask themselves whether this annual tax of $1,600-plus per family is justified by the very small resulting decline in global CO2. Since the U.S. share of global CO2 production is now less than 25 percent (and is projected to decline as China and other developing nations grow), a 15 percent fall in U.S. CO2 output would lower global CO2 output by less than 4 percent.

[Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming RSS Newsfeed] Industries are grappling with new bill on climate: To drive businesses and power generators to use less oil and coal and slash emissions of other gases, the Waxman-Markey bill would make businesses acquire pollution permits, which they could use to cover their emissions and sell any spares.

[WTAS - GOP.gov] WSJ: Martin Feldstein - Tax Increases Could Kill the Recovery ...: The next-largest tax increase -- with a projected rise in revenue of more than $300 billion between 2011 and 2019 -- comes from increasing the tax rates on the very small number of taxpayers with incomes over $250,000. Because this revenue estimate doesn't take into account the extent to which the higher marginal tax rates would cause those taxpayers to reduce their taxable incomes -- by changing the way they are compensated, increasing deductible expenditures, or simply earning less -- it overstates the resulting increase in revenue.

[Cricketdiane's Weblog] Republican the party of aristocracy that spread dire poverty ...: In 2000, the Republican Party adopted as part of its platform support for the development of market-based solutions to environmental problems. According to the platform, “economic prosperity and environmental protection must advance together, environmental regulations should be based on science, the government’s role should be to provide market-based incentives to develop the technologies to meet environmental standards, we should ensure that environmental policy meets the needs of localities, and environmental policy should focus on achieving results processes.”[28] Although this platform was created for the Republican National Convention, emphasis on these issues within the Republican Party has diminished in the past few years.[29]

RealClimate: “I asserted in my testimony that citing Emanuel (2005), Webster et al (2005) and Mann and Emanuel (2005) represented a selective presentation of the literature on hurricanes and global warming, especially in the context of the recent consensus statement from the WMO endorsed by the AMS (how could that be neglected?!?), which said of the debate over the trends documented in the first two of these papers”

[Reason Magazine - All Reason Articles from the Past Year: Page 1] Hit & Run > The Folly of Unilateral Carbon Rationing - Reason Magazine: Basically, under ACES, the U.S. would be imposing an energy price increase on its producers and consumers making the country less competitive compared to countries that would still be using cheaper fossil fuels. In an attempt to counteract this problem, the Federal government under ACES can award a portion of its emissions permits as a subsidy to energy intensive U.S. companies that are disadvantaged by the cap-and-trade scheme.

[Freakonomics] What Would Happen if Marijuana Were Decriminalized? A Freakonomics ...: Raising taxes on either tobacco or alcohol enough to merely cover their medical costs and other detrimental effects would create flourishing black markets in these commodities.
