This is going to get ugly.
The Global Elite at the UN say that Carbon Taxes will have to rise to $10 per litre of gasoline ... to fight Climate Change.
A typical tank of gas is 50 litres. So to fill up your tank will cost $ 500 in taxes.
Yeah. I don’t think so.
The Government tells everyone to stop driving, to ride the bus, Mass Transit then they raise the prices of Mass Transit.
Add Chile to the growing list of countries whose governments are suffering a backlash as average people, tired of elites forcing costly climate policies down their throats, take to the streets to protest higher energy costs.
Although undoubtedly many issues stoked the protests on the streets across Chile, the Washington Post rightly notes what finally drove the public to take to the streets was the government’s decision to curry favor with international agencies by pushing expensive energy restrictions to fight purported climate change. As the Post states, “[T]he catalyst [behind the protests] was a proposal to raise public transport fares and energy bills. There is ample evidence from across the world that these will incite rebellion like nothing else -- a point that those who hope to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions via a carbon tax should bear in mind.
A $240 Per Gallon Gas Tax To Fight Global Warming? New UN Report Suggests Carbon Pricing
A United Nations special climate report suggests a tax on carbon dioxide emissions would need to be as high as $27,000 per ton at the end of the century to effectively limit global warming.
For Americans, that’s the same as a $240 per gallon tax on gasoline in the year 2100, should such a recommendation be adopted. In 2030, the report says a carbon tax would need to be as high as $5,500 — that’s equivalent to a $49 per gallon gas tax.
