Getting back to the US budget deficit of $38.46 Trillion. It is heavily caused by Medicare and Social Security expenses for the growing numbers of older people that are here because of the products made from hydrocarbons that have contributed to an exceptional health care infrastructure that did not exist in the 1800's that is contributing to today's longer longevity.
Current CO2 levels of 425 ppm are well below what Navy personnel breath in submarines, and well below what our Astronauts beath on the Space Station, and well below what plants breath in greenhouses, yet Gore, Kerry, Obama, Gates, and California Governor Newsom, all want to over regulate the emissions from our use of hydrocarbons that are only being demanded by people's addiction to the products made from hydrocarbons.
In 1800, when the atmospheric CO2 level was said to be about 270-280 ppm, it was considered the pre-industrial baseline before large-scale fossil fuel burning supported the world's population growth from 1 to 8 billion in less than 200 years.

In the event these so-called "political leaders" get their wish by taxing our air and we rid the use of crude oil, it will most likely result in a depopulation of billions on this planet if we rid the use of crude oil before we can clone it to support the supply chain of products for humanity. And, like the 1800's, when we had no products from hydrocarbons, nobody will live past 60 years of age, and thus the $38.46 Trillion deficit problem will be resolved with a drastic decrease in the numbers eligible for Medicare and Social Security as they die off, AND virtually nobody will live long enough to be added to Medicare and Social Security.
The transition to net-zero emissions is a tax on the air we breathe.
