President Carter calls for carbon tax at Aspen renewable energy conference | kdvr.com

ASPEN, Colo. — President Jimmy Carter called a tax on carbon emissions “the only reasonable approach” to combating climate change during an appearance here Tuesday, but lamented that even piecemeal actions are unlikely to get through a divided Congress.

What “climate change?”

By climate change they really mean global warming, but they’re trying very hard to avoid that term, since  there hasn’t been any global warming for 17 years.

By the way, the latest weasel terminology on this matter is that “temperatures haven’t risen quite as fast over the past 18 years as the previous 25.”  This is correct, as long as you understand that “not quite as fast” means, “not risen at all.”
