So Neville – what is the price of the Earth?
The root cause of global warming has been long established, by the mid-20th century, and to date more than 500 billion tons of carbon have been/continue to be released into the atmosphere through greenhouse gas emissions and land clearing. Further research is not going to change this conclusion.
In the meantime military expenses on the scale of $trillions are also increasing.
The term “Tax payer” pertains to the (relatively) well to do citizens of western societies. What about the billions of poor, non-tax paying people, the”wretched of the Earth” – why should they not have any say in their future?
So what does the “Tax payer” (and also the poor who do not pay tax) wish for?
I’d say – a future for the children and for nature rather than continuing pollution and murderous wars.
