A carbon tax is going to hurt us, and hurt us greatly.

— Dan Kish, senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research

Bloomberg Calls For a Carbon Tax

As noted in a 2009 New York times article, Michael Bloomberg was one of the worst individual polluters ever to hold public office. His preferred form of transportation — the private jet — is also the least efficient form of transportation. A trip of his to Denmark, for example, was responsible for 37 times the carbon dioxide than that of a commercial flight. But for Bloomberg, it’s never been an issue of do what I do … for him, it’s do what I say. Thus his called for increased carbon taxes — a move that Dan Kish, senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research, would be more disastrous for the U.S. than the higher temperatures that global warming would cause. “A carbon tax is going to kill everyone," he said. “It will affect everything.”
