Whether or not global warming is happening or is caused by humans burning too many fossil fuels, a tax on CO2 emissions isn’t going to do a damn thing to stop it. The price of gas is mostly taxes and we burn more of the stuff than ever. Cigarette smoking is down not because of the incredibly high cigarette taxes, but because people don’t feel like giving themselves cancer as much as they used to. Taxes don’t do a lot to reduce consumption — and with this one there’s not much to reduce.

cigarette taxes have been instrumental in cutting smoking, there is a lot of data on that….
And do you care to list what part of a gallon of gas is taxes?
