Peter, you might want to reconsider your enthusiasm for recycling. It might be doing more environmental harm and costing more money, than simply throwing rubbish on a midden Depends on what your recycling. I'd say at least recycling metal cans makes sense.

You are probably correct about the recycling. I do always try to recycle aluminum. That is a net benefit. if we get reglaciation, life will not be getting better any time soon. So if the hoaxters were successful and we started to enter another little ice age they could actually inflect excess damage to our civilization. Interesting. That is typical of a liberal. They mindlessly do what they think is the right thing while actually inflict harm and the celebrate it while berating those who avoided harming others. Simply moving taxation from incomes to carbon combustion would cut CO2 emissions hugely, with no loss of standard of living. That i an interesting idea. Government wants to add additional sources of revenue, not replace the ones they have. I don't think it could fly. It sounds like a good idea though. Cutting taxes and wasteful government spending would be a huge economic boost. Government never stops wasting and never shrinks.
