more than two children should be charged a birth levy and annual
tax to offset the 'greenhouse gases' their child will be
responsible for over his or her lifetime. At the same time,
those who use and prescribe contraceptives and sterilization
procedures should earn tax relief for such 'greenhouse friendly
services' that help to keep the population size down.... 'Far
from showering financial booty on new mothers and thereby
rewarding greenhouse-unfriendly behavior, a 'Baby Levy' in the

Case in point, the Northern Spotted Owl.....As a result of the
hysteria to save the 'endangered' owls, U.S. timber sales were
reduced by 80-90%, forcing saw mills to close, loggers to go
broke and whole towns which depended on the industry to literally
disappear. The federal crackdown on the industry caused a
shift in U.S. domestic lumber supplies to foreign soils....
It was no secret that the spotted owl didn't need 'old growth
forests' to survive, since spotted owls were found living
under bridges and in McDonald signs. What it needed was a good
food source like any other species. Now we know it was undercut
by another owl - a completely natural occurrence."

of polar ice cores, deep seabed sediments, and layered cave stalagmites.

following variations in solar intensity through centuries of sunspot
