I don't know if it has taken away the excuse to impose a carbon tax, the whole human induced global warming was a scam being perpetrated by the elitst's management office-the U.N. to provide the UN with funding as it works its way toward a tyrannical technocracy and to distribute more wealth from the poor to the elite rich. Most taxes are simply wealth distribution from the poor to the rich. The IPCC and AGENDA2030 are both controlled by the UN and are meant to create self-hate in humanity. Overpopulation is a sick joke, we have a distribution issue due to greed and profit. And AGENDA2030 aka sustainable development, while sounding all good is a technocratic control system as seen by the proliferation of smart devices. And the fact is they are still pumping out the fake news of global warming is a clear indicator that they are still pushing for this co2 tax. FOX today put some bs out today about the hottest weather ever and if you are paying attention to these things like I do you see 6000+ cold temperature records broken globally the last two years as well as a drop in global mean temperature offsetting more than half on the global warming of the last century.
As for global cooling being "potentially worse", that is a massive understatement. Already we have seen extensive crop damage and losses to productivity and quality on a global scale. Expect all grains to increase in price this year by 20-40%. Fruit crops internationally have suffered due to the cold. And this is just the beginning.
If you thought this past winter was hard 2018-19 winter will be four times worse. By the way the last few times the earth went into a cooling phase like this humanity experienced depopulation by 30-50%.
