The carbon tax is all about a global Technocracy where the elite will track everything you do (e.g. Smart Electric meters...to save the earth of course!), and tax you into slavery.
This is what a carbon tax with the lie about man-made global warming is about.
Did your Exxon Attorny Daddy tell you that or do you honestly believe that firing millions of tons of fossile products has no impact on our climate? The only lie is the carbon tax which just helps greedy Exxon&Co to make more money. Bloody bastards!
I haven't spoken to my father since 2003. Before 2000, I hadn't spoken to him much since 1990 (when I was 25). So don't think my father and I see eye-to-eye on all issues. My father went much higher than West Coast division attorney at Exxon. I am not really clear how high up he went because that was after we stopped communicating. I recognize his intellect.
Any way, that is irrelevant to
my views on ClimateGate and the other complete fraud of man-made global warming (read the 27 comments of "Shelby" on the linked page).
Here is a sample comment:
@Bennet, can you read? I wasnt arguing against GW (global warming vs. AGW which is anthropogenic, i.e. man-caused global warming).
I will ask you though if you passed a basic statistics course, because how can you draw any statistically meaningful conclusions of doom based on recent century or two, when then lag time for CO2 correlation is 600 1000 years, and they were farming grapes in the UK and then skating on the Thames within the past several hundred years.
Do you also believe in Peter Pan, Three Little Pigs, and peak oil.
Fear shuts down the pre-frontal cortex.
See also these links documenting the AGW fraud, such as how they fabricated temperature data, and even moved thermometers from shady locations to next to concrete mass in direct sunshine to falsify the data:

Since we've established above that knarzo thinks man-made carbon could influence the climate, when in fact the carbon produced by man is dwarfed in orders-of-magnitude by the carbon released from the oceans as they warm 600 - 1000 years
after the warming begins! (as documented above), then we can consider his recent tirade in this context of his ignorance:
@knarzo:
Some monkeys would rather the group dies than for one monkey to be admitted to be a natural leader.
Those groups perish.
(implication is I won't be joining your group)
I'm happy that those doom and gloom glorifying folks, NWO racists, religious wackos and people like you, which are experts on everything and think to know everything but spending a lifetime on a forum trying to proselytize, will never join the group i'm in. At least we agree on this

You can see that he thinks I am rascist, and you can read my prior post where I explain the difference between rascism and objectivity.
Also he is basing his opinion of me being a rascist on a
prior argument we had about drugs. (he is conflating race with
not discriminating against drug users) In general he thinks he is not a socialist, but he doesn't realize that mathematically any one who is for equality is a socialist.
Freedom requires disagreement, and thus orthogonal smaller things, not a monolithic agreement.
Because life is not equal. Humans are diverse and have various strengths and weaknesses. CoinCube recognized where I had defined this:
Meh.. He seems to try to skim the cream off 100+ different fields of study, attempting to make connections between various scientific curiosities and real-world events. While a lot of it seems kind-of coherent, I noticed (while lightly reading/skimming) :
He is and in my opinion does so successfully.
If he is correct (and I believe he is) this is the equivalent of someone in 1927 claiming that the economy was
going to collapse soon. Easy to disregard (lots of good times in 1928) but very important to think about before dismissing
He defines knowledge here
http://unheresy.com/Information%20Is%20Alive.html#Thought_Isn't_FungibleLet me quote from that linked blog of mine:
Every possible model of the brain will lack the fundamental cause of human creativity every human brain is unique. Thus each of billions of brains is able to contemplate possibilities and scenarios differently enough so that it is more likely at least one brain will contemplate some unique idea that fits each set of possibilities at each point in time.
