The Stupid ‘Carbon’ Tax

The Tax Which Does Nought

Though many claim that
global warming’s a great threat,
there’s no proof as yet;


some politicians,
despite feigned support, are wise
to awarmists’ lies


for, if they believed
in this “man-made climate change”
they’d surely arrange


sound, wise investments
which were quite properly planned
to save threatened land;


we could, say, have built
canals and levees, dams and walls—
not costly school-halls.


That we have a tax
to solve AGW
confirms it’s not true.
