The Oil Drum | Misguided Energy Policies

Do climate advocates think getting people to change is going to be easy? No, there is going to be cost, pain, and inconvenience. But people respond to price, and we are seeing that now. It is not hypothetical, it is observable.

From the page: "I have a friend who is addicted to nicotine. His liberal friends tell him that this addiction is bad, and point out that it is costing him too much money. Therefore, they want policies passed that ensure that he can continue to consume as much as he likes, and not hurt his budget too much." Sounds like you're confused. Legislation banning flavored tobacco in cigarettes was passed this year, and is being considered for all types of flavored tobacco. Tobacco taxes are ridiculous in themselves -- 10 dollars a pack anyone? It's costing too much money because of bullshit taxes that don't need to exist. And let's not even talk about FSC's.
