I used my example of healthcare before and it fits here as well. At some point people give in and say ok I'm done fighting.....then after it's some sort of law/tax people will see opposing opinions from the MSNBC, CNN networks because they are pissed at how much money is being taken from their pay checks. It's a cycle of stupidity that never ends....Americans are led by the nose to slaughter on so many issues.
People's ignorance is something to behold. The people making all the money are the Coal and Oil People who are holding onto a dying energy resource. What other's make is insignificant compared to the people in the fossil fuel industry. And the green energy companies are not pumping out toxins into the ground water, land and air that kills people. So how can you say what you say with a straight face?

Global Warming is caused by human activity. They are the tax on society not the result of their greed. And the Fossil Fuel industry pays out big bucks to mislead the public about what they do and the problems they are causing. As time goes by it becomes harder and harder to extra the coal from the earth. The Coal Companies will have to dig even deeper and it will be much more expensive in the future to dig coal out of the ground. The oil will dry up eventually and today we have to crack the ground to extra oil and gas. Those cracks allow the oil and gas to mix with the ground water that people need to survive. Some people have gas coming out of their water faucets that can be lit on fire.

You are right in that there is a tax on society right now. It a tax that people are paying with their health and welfare to try to stay alive and avoid the pollution caused by the fossil fuel industry. Anyone that denies that burning coal and oil is not creating excessive air pollution needs to be educated.
