IOT: Stop Global Warming: Feb Call

Submitted by Bryan Buchan on 2-24-2010 – 6:23 amComments

pda_audio_icon1On this month’s Stop Global Warming/Environmental Issues Organizing Team call, the following topics were covered: assembling a new leadership team for the IOT, and our campaign to achieve national climate legislation based on direct carbon pricing with revenue recycling. We discussed the Price Carbon Campaign's strategy workshop and legislative lay of the land, and meeting with Congressional staff in Washington, DC, and around the country.

  • as I comprehend it, after briefly speaking with Waxman at UCLA, his bill does
    teh same as his '91 cap&trade bill under HW, on SO2 and NOx (viz,
    acid rain); that is, it is just a "free trade" bailout for Wall Street (and
    the City of London, financial district is known as).

    if Dubya had known that Kyoto was just another cap&trade "free trade" nostrum,
    I'm sure that he would have signed it, since he has been thoroughly indopctrinated
    in the MBA school on "British Liberal Free Trade" (cotton, sugar & slavery etc.,
    why the British organized and supported Secession with ships & materiel) --
    what the Revolution was mainly about -- not just,
    Taxation without representation, as a la the Tea Party effetes and
    the Encyclopedia Brittaninca!

    Waxman perhaps has been too long on the job;
    when I spoke to him at the Faculty Center, he seemed to be on drugs, two,
    a marked difference form when I saw him in P.Palisades. anyway,
    as I asked him,
    why can't we just have a very small Carbon Tax,
    instead of letting the arbitrageurs run the bull & bear hijinx?

    as they say, the bears make money, the bulls make money, and
    the hogs always get slaughtered.

    none of the (two) experts, I have read or asked,
    thought that a tx would not work; only that it was somehow
    politically impossible.
