Letter: I-732 is bad for the state

Please vote NO on Initiative 732. The carbon tax will not save the planet and it will be passed onto our utility bills and all other consumer goods.

Politicians say they will save us from climate change. Historically there have been more than 50 significant climate changes within the past 4,500 years. During the 1980s our politicians claimed we were going into another ice age. In the 1990s they claimed the earth was heating up to dangerous levels. Now as we go through another cycle they claim it’s “climate change.”

Mankind has almost no effect on global climate. What affects our climate? The sun’s cycles and the earth’s orbit as it “wobbles” on its axis cause the majority of the effects now known as climate change. Greenhouse gases are mainly produced by volcanoes on land and under the sea. Decay and respiration from plants and animals are next. Mankind produces far less than 5 percent of all greenhouse gases.

The supporters of the carbon tax wish to control you and take your money. They are the same people who created Obamacare, gun control, and limit free speech through political correctness.
