We all know that the climate is changing and atleast to some degree human activity is influencing it.
This is already affecting hunting. One example is conifer encroachment in mountain goat habitat in western Montana. Goat populations are suffering. Drought makes for a hard winter for mule deer and antelope.
Recently the calls for an Carbon Tax are getting louder. NatGeo is on the bandwagon.
Is a carbon tax a solution? Carbon taxes are regressive form of taxation, there’s no disputing that. But even then, if it would help that would be okay with many. Is a carbon tax beneficial to slowing a warming climate. Or is it fantasy to believe that raising people’s power bills and making it more expensive to get to work, will help the climate?
Personally, I think it’s unfortunate to see such a serious issue go the way of a political agenda and don’t think making people poorer helps the climate. I don’t believe the average mean temperature of the globe correlates to government revenue or the disposable income of lower earners.
