Some of them are using climate change to push their agenda.
Just like they use homeless people to push their agenda.
Just like they use dilapidated towns with closed down factories and Superfund sites to push their agenda.
But none of these things stop being factual just because bad people want to discuss them.  
There are dilapidated ghettoes.  There are homeless people.  And there is climate change.

Our society will still work fundamentally the same way if we reduce income and payroll taxes and replace them with a carbon tax.  Note that the true socialists out there are more likely to advocate for state takeover of energy companies as their solution.

What, in your opinion, are the negative implications of a Carbon Tax?

That's easy....they the taxes do nothing for the environment..... it only pads to pockets of politicians.... Question is where does the money go.... And how does it help....it doesn't...just like I'm here they ban plastic bags at the supermarket... But you can still buy them for $0.05 a bag... So you're really not banning them... And where does the $0.05 go how does it help the environment... It doesn't it's a money-making scheme... period!!
