You wouldn’t think it was possible but government has figured how
to tax the very air all living things depend upon to survive.  You
might say that’s crazy and not true.  You wouldn’t doubt that
global warming is happening though.  In the most awful of ways you
have been tricked into a tax for air.  Government has said that
carbon dioxide is a poison and a man made cause of green house
effect of our planet and in order to save us from our selves they
make laws to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.  Of course these
regulations are just another way of getting to your money with
direct or indirect cost for your air.

In my life time I have been bombarded with and regulated into
oblivion in the saving of the planet from humans.  That is a time
period of over 40 years that I have been directly or indirectly
made to pay for regulatory agencies that have apparently done
little to change the polluting of the planet.  I say this because
over that time period, according to global warming believer’s
information, people are still the reason why the planet is in
ecological crisis.  Forty years is a long time to “fix” the
ecological disaster but we have only succeeded in creating empires
of 501 3C, special interests and government agencies.   

The gas, carbon dioxide, contains essential elements for humans and
plants that are beneficial to life.  Increases of carbon dioxide
are absorbed and turned into energy, oxygen, water and healthy
living for people and plants.  The empirical data doesn’t support
the theoretical assertions that CO2 is causing climate change.  Our
common sense alone tells us that earth, being the third rock from
the sun, that the sun effects the temperature the most and that so
many other things, like the position of earths orbit, volcanoes,
water evaporation and earthquakes, to mention a few, change earths
temperature, but we still allow ourselves to be told that mans
release of carbon dioxide is the cause of global warming.  

Humans, plants and the animal kingdom are all carbon based.  To
live healthy and productively carbon dioxide is an essential
building block that is needed.  Using the current levels of CO2
level of 380 parts per million (ppm) in the air, you realize that
carbon dioxide is hardly at a level of concern.  The threshold
limit value (TLV) for human toxicity is 5000 ppm according to OSHA
standards which tells us that our health is not in jeopardy yet
still the proponents of global warming insist we are in a
ecological crisis.  None of this makes anecdotal or empirical sense
and tells that we should not allow ourselves to be lied to and made
to pay for changes in our behavior or regulations to reduce the
levels of CO2.
