Most of 'em actually believe in this nonsense!
"UK Researchers: Tax Food to Reduce Climate Change
....researchers in Oxford University, England have suggested that imposing a massive tax on carbon intensive foods – specifically protein rich foods like meat and dairy – could help combat climate change.
.... could save half a million lives and one billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions
....lead to half a million fewer deaths from chronic diseases, according to a new study published in Nature Climate Change.
The study, conducted by a team of researchers from the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food at the University of Oxford and the International Food Policy Research Institute in Washington DC, is the first global analysis to estimate the impacts that levying emissions prices on food could have on greenhouse gas emissions and human health.
However, the authors stress that due consideration would need to be given to ensuring such policies did not impact negatively on low income populations.
“Emissions pricing of foods would generate a much needed contribution of the food system to reducing the impacts of global climate change,” said Dr Marco Springmann of the Oxford Martin Programme on the Future of Food, who led the study. “We hope that’s something policymakers gathering this week at the Marrakech climate conference will take note of.”"
UK Researchers: Tax Food to Reduce Climate Change
Gee....how unusual....Liberal wack-jobs claiming huuuuge tax increases necessary to save the world!
After all...as per the classic headline, the end of the world ....'Women and Minorities Hurt Worst."
Just this warning: they'll have to pry the cannoli out of my cold dead hands!!
