If the answer to a problem is to TAX it then you know it is a con.
Look at Alcohol and Tobacco.
Billions of dollars in TAX and no change in smoking or drinking habits.
Has anybody noticed that despite the millions spent on stop smoking programs they never publish targets, or rates of smoking etc Zero accountability. The best product to help wean people off smoking, e cigarettes or vaping, is seen as a threat to not only big Tobacco but also Government revenue.
That is because it is a failed policy, much like road policing is to stop road accidents.
A huge success if it is about the money. And it is a huge success.
The Tax on Alcohol and Tobacco is pretty much an economists dream. its not about stopping people from drinking or smoking, its about making the users pay for the police and health services etc
I don’t know exactly. I got it off Twitter. I tried to find it outside of Twitter but failed. There are URLs relating to the data at the top of the graph.
The weather man struggles sometimes to predict tomorrows weather.
And these dam brains-trust-pseudo-scientists say they know the weather forecast years from now?
Also CO2 levels in the bloody Cambrian period (half a billion years ago) have to be looked at in the context of the earth being a completely different place. http://www.skepticalscience.com/print.php?r=77

Where does this graph come from? Like the sea level one this needs to be published everywhere but needs authentication.
