Interesting weather fact.

Say Global warming is a fact. How do you connect that fact to carbon taxes? Where is the linkage between cooler temperatures or alternative energy solutions and higher taxes. Maybe higher taxation leads to businesses and individuals to choose cheaper, more carbon emitting methods of production and consumption.
A case history to study is the Irish potato famine. There were crop failures of potatoes. Prices rose, as those prices rose, the demand for potatoes actually increased, setting off a cycle that eventually led to famine. The reason demand rose despite higher prices was alternative foods were even more expensive than potatoes. Hence after buying potatoes the people had even less money for those alternatives and instead demanded more potatoes, which was the only thing they could afford. Lack of demand for the other foodstuffs forced those farmers to try and raise potatoes, since that was the only thing that could sell. Those potato crops failed and "bingo" there were no foodstuffs at all.
Maybe the same thing will happen with carbon taxes. Disposable income will decrease due to higher taxes. People and businesses won't be able to risk or afford to buy new technology. Therefore the demand for the new technology won't exist, so it won't be invented and implemented. There is a reason Tesla cars are $100,000 plus. For that type of technology to become mainstream it first requires the high end customer to adopt it. Ditto big screen TVs, Computers, Cell Phones etc. They all needed the high end consumer to jump start the businesses. Raise taxes and alternative energy might lose that Jump start.

Some might say apples to oranges but even that is not close to this post - this way too far off the wall. You obviously are not paying much attention to what is going on as you seem to have little to know knowledge whatsoever. Potato Famine? Really?

Tesla Cars - Elon Musk is building a $5 billion plant near Reno, NV to produce new battery technology to get the cost of electric cars down to affordable by consumers - not worth the investment otherwise - and many of the world's other geniuses are investing. Why would they invest without reason. You need to study the topic a bit before you post comments as you obviously do not know much.

But none of this is about that. Someone posted about weather and someone else related it to climate change and it is not the same thing. So many seem to think the term global warming means the earth temperatures are increasing - which is true - but that is not the point. I keep saying I am not the one to argue this point. Anyone interested - really interested - can research the topic to learn about it - far too complex to even remotely touch on here.

I doubt anyone would suggest that coal does not pollute. Coal creates electricity. But more and more coal plants are converting to natural gas - because gas is far cheaper and cleaner. Lots of other baby steps forward. No one says solar or wind or whatever is an answer - there are many answers. And with new technology are new jobs. Who remembers the typewriter or letter writing or mail - now we have word processors in our computers and email and tweets or whatever - texts. Things change - and sometimes for the better. Imagine of the millions of people in our cities today still road horses and the horses left manure - as they used to in city streets. Things change. There are reasons. Reality.

Apples and oranges.
