It is precisely my "ability to think critically and question intelligently," that cause me to understand that the climate change movement is basically social engineering and anti-capitalism wrapped in a green-wash.

Here in BC, I just paid $4.47 in carbon tax on my consumption of $5.74 of natural gas, (it's summer, I don't use much.)  The amount of carbon in the air hasn't changed a bit.  The pace and direction of climate change is unchanged, but someone else now has my money to spend in a direction in which they think is better than me spending it.  Particularly galling is that they will now spend my money on efforts to which I am diametrically opposed.

Climates have been changing for millennia.  What will we do next, convince the gullible that if they pay enough tax we can reverse the tides?
