For the life of me,I cant figure how a tax will stop global warming amd its consequences. Higher taxes didnt stop smokers,didnt slow down the use of gasoline,did not stop power plants from produceing electric curent,,,property taxes did not slow down the houseing industry,, But I did notice ,, when airplanes were grounded after 911,,the air quality improved,the skies were again clear,and a deep blue,for a few months,,,maybe it's the increased air traffic that is to blame,, THOMAS E.
