EIN News says, "Senate Democrats Want Climate Bill to Protect Manufacturing. Ten Senate Democrats whose votes are pivotal to the success of climate legislation urged the Obama administration on Thursday to support levying tariffs on goods from countries that don't limit their greenhouse-gas emissions. (wsj.com)".
Congratulations to the Senate Democrats! They are beginning to see some of the disadvantages of unnecessary and futile attempts to control climate.
Tariff eliminations have been a continuing program of the US government, including the Obama Administration. What kind of message do we send internationally if we establish a new tariff on imports into the US?
Consider also that if we do impose such tariff restriction, the egg we will have on our face, when we eventually realize that carbon dioxide is not an air pollutant, anymore than nitrogen, and expenditures of large sums of money for its control had been unnecessary and should be stopped. If we then stop carbon control, would we then be violating our own basis for having imposed the tariff?
The best answer to this dilemma is to stop carbon control now by killing any bills related to it.
