Default UN proposes global tax on carbon

The UN global warming meeting in Bali, Indonesia has proposed a global tax on CO2 emissions. I wonder how you police such a tax? I wonder how you avoid bad actors cheating and conniving to avoid such taxes? Even more importantly, what power to coerce must be granted to the taxing body to make such a system work?

The power to coerce and enforce its edicts is the principle distinguishing characteristic of a sovereign nation. I'm not keen on granting this kind of sovereignty over local US government power to the UN. Frankly that would be fantastically stupid. In the same vein, it would be fantastically stupid to trust governments and cultures of corruption -- where bribes are commonly used to get things done -- to participate in such a system fairly.

The global warming hoax just gets worse and worse.

Agreed! Have they ever accomplished anything noteworthy? Sanctions dont work and their "peace keeping" forces are a complete joke.

I wonder what the carbon foot print would be if we blew up the UN and turned it into a new sports staduim?
