Hansen: Morality of fossil fuel emissions on par with slavery. Sounds serious, Jimbo. So how do we “free” ourselves from this new “slavery”? “Hansen said his proposal for a global carbon tax…” Shoulda guessed that one. Not to worry, the tax income will be “paid directly back to the public as a dividend, shared equally, rather than put into government coffers.” The slaves will buy their way out of slavery and the slaveowners will share the proceeds with them? Yeah, right.
