OMG when I **breathe** I exhale carbon dioxide! My very existence is contributing to global warming! I think, if I really want to be "green" and if I really care about my planet, the best thing to do is to off myself immediately. What next, are they going to tax me for breathing?
I had better stop before I give them any ideas.

I heard the plan is to assign "carbon numbers" to everyone to track personal carbon output -determined by things like your electric bill, grocery transactions, etc.
The carbon atom is made of 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. All life on earth is carbon based. You might say that 666 is the "number of man" and the "number of the beast". You might.

That is really spooky! I'm not terribly spiritual today, but that is the closest I've seen anyone come to deciphering "the number of the Beast."
(Who is it now, that travels in the "belly of the Beast?")

Weather Ch. Founder: The Amazing Story Behind The Global Warming Scam

...The last two bitter winters have lead to a rise in public awareness that CO2 is not a pollutant and is not a significant greenhouse gas that is triggering runaway global warming.
The January-February 2007 year-to-date map of temperature anomalies shows the presence of warmer than average temperatures across almost all land areas.
The Keeling curve showed a steady rise in CO2 in atmosphere during the period since oil and coal were discovered and used by man. As of today, carbon dioxide has increased from 215 to 385 parts per million. But, despite the increases, it is still only a trace gas in the atmosphere. While the increase is real, the percentage of the atmosphere that is CO2 remains tiny, about .41 hundredths of one percent.
The major non-gas contributor to the Earth's greenhouse effect, clouds, also absorb and emit infrared radiation and thus have an effect on radiative properties of the greenhouse gases

I think being taxed on your carbon footprint is a good idea, despite what most of you seem to think. I think that people who own huge SUVs for no reason should pay for the amount of fossil fuels that they are consuming and for the harmful effects to the environment as a result.
I'm attending the only college in America with carbon neutrality and I own a car with 35mpg. I turn off lights when I'm not in rooms, I recycle, and I buy as local and organic as I can afford.
Edit- We can't take back the harm we've done to rainforests, to environments that we've destroyed to drill for oil, and polar bears will be extinct in less than a generation.

We're still polluting the earth. THAT NEEDS TO STOP!
