How can we tax them, today?

non elected media. the policy would be better with an elected media.

government policy is to waggle finger and say very naughty and try things with carbon credits ot crabon taxes and yap a lot at climate meetings like g8 and g20.

all the while toyota sneaks state of art facilities along highways.

not gov but other policies

1) Get administrative politicos in the NAS to anonymously publish bogus information like:

"Because carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is long lived, it can effectively lock the Earth and future generations into a range of impacts, some of which could become very severe. " http://dels.nas.edu/Report/Climate-Stabilization-T...

even when they would know that the science says the opposite if they ever looked it up. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.2153-...

2) Get the NAS politicos to publish a bogus poll showing that 97% of all scientists are in agreement with the consensus once a year. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2011/03/24/cook...

3) Use the "scientific consensus" to justify going nuclear http://nuclearstreet.com/pro_nuclear_power_blogs/b...

despite the obvious stupidity of that approach to boiling water, http://mdn.mainichi.jp/mdnnews/news/20110715p2a00m...

and despite that there is no serious danger from CO2 induced global warming. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/8511670.stm

4) Prevent adequate new power plants from being permitted to meet the raising demands for electricity, and to replace the plants being shut down until the public relents to allow nuclear power plants in their area. http://www.netl.doe.gov/coal/refshelf/ncp.pdf

Which federal government?

Pander + Argue + Pontificate + Do Nothing
