Will We Be Carbon Taxed into the Dark Ages?

Just about every single thing us greedy, wasteful Westerners consume uses up heavy energy inputs, generating heavy carbon emissions. If our government leaders sign the Copenhagen Treaty this December, Carbon Taxes plus Cap and Trade costs are heading our way, and it looks like they will!

What to do? Best thing is to learn to live more with less folks. Most of us are horribly wasteful. It looks like a good time to start growing your own food and practicing voluntary frugality. That might not be such a bad thing! Carbon taxes would certainly stop peak oil in its tracks, since most of us wouldn't be able to afford to be heavy oil users any more. I only hope those that are saying it is just an excuse to fund and implement a dictatorial, non-democratic global government to control everything we do are wrong...
