We Can End Global Warming by Rejecting all Products from Countries w/no Environmental Standards [View all]
This, in fact, is the only way we are going to stop the pollution.
What difference does it make to implement a carbon tax here when we are purchasing all of our goods from countries with no environmental standards?
Al Gore, who is now criticizing Obama, needs to be asked about this. He pushed for the free trade agreements which have done far more damage to our environment than not passing a carbon tax.
News stories reported last week, CO2 is DOWN in the US, and UP in China- because they are producing all of our goods.
How can we continue to pretend we care about global warming with such brazen hypocrisy?
When we demand an end to 'free' trade, implement standards on the goods that we purchase, we will not only stop global warming, we'll bring our jobs back as well which might just help the economy as there will be more people paying taxes and not needing help from the government.
'Free' trade agreements are not free. They have ruined our economy and are polluting the planet.
