Gary Johnson Backs CO2 ?Fee? To Fight Global Warming

If they keep it up, they are going to have to rename themselves 'Statatarians'.

“I do believe that climate change is occurring,” Johnson said. “I do believe that it is man-caused"...

I guess this is one of the 78% areas of agreement with Bernie Sanders.

What. A. Loon.

Johnson says he supports the EPA WITH a 40% budget cut to that department; he supports a social safety net WITH a 43% budget cut to social spending. That's far better than the record of any Republican, who has expanded both. Of course a president can't make budget cuts by himself but Johnson has a very unique and strong record of vetoing spending and taxes compared to almost any other governor.

The Libertarian Republic is ran by Austin Peterson, who seems to have trouble letting go of the fact he wasn't nominated. Whether or not Johnson actually "endorsed" a carbon fee, I don't know as I haven't seen any recording of this. He does tend to ramble about things he might be "open to discussing" and isn't the best communicator.

But Peterson and this webpage have been putting out misstatements and sometimes outright fabrications since the Libertarian convention.

I liked Peterson's views and his speeches, but he had no real qualifications to be president.

Here you go, right from his mouth.

I'm following Austin on FB and even though he wasn't nominated, he's quite firm in his support for Johnson. He will point out Johnson's many shortcomings but never indicates his support is conditional or growing tepid. In many ways he's quite the party partisan.

There is a libertarian argument to be made for the carbon tax, can't pollute other people's air.

This is kinda like forcing people to get vaccinations...which molecule of CO2 was mine?

Sorry I'm not buying that.

I didn't know population control thru "fees" was a plank of the Libertarian Party.

You do know that a carbon tax is nothing more than a wealth transfer don't you? It does nothing for the "environment".

If you buy co2 as a pollutant there is a case for government to regulate polluters as infringing on individuals right to clean air.
Unless you're of the opinion that individuals can sue big corporations and courts can handle it.

 

[printcraft]

Problem is that these regulations won't affect the bottom line of those evil corporations....
Where do you think the money is going to come from?
You think the .gov group wanting a carbon tax is doing it for the people?

Quoting for the conditional. Your breath may be considered pollution, but mine is a natural part of the biosphere.

No, I don't buy that.

Guess I'm just a climate denier.

Wow, Libertarians should be ashamed for nominating this guy.

"In my opinion, this is a local issue. If it ends up to be a federal issue, I would come down on the side of science, and I would probably require that vaccine.”
