"Environmental Justice"

By Phil Boehmke

"Cambridge Massachusetts, home of Skip Gates, Harvard University, MIT and the Cambridge Climate Congress is taking the lead in battling the climate emergency. I am reminded of a line from the motion picture 1776. In his frustration with the Continental Congress, John Adams (a Harvard alumnus) says "I have come to the conclusion that one useless man is a disgrace, two are called a law firm and three or more become a congress."

Oblivious to the record snowfalls and cold weather that has slammed the east coast and totally unaware of the climate-gate scandal which has rocked the climate change industry, the Cambridge Climate Congress is forging ahead with plans to tackle a perceived climate emergency.

The CCC's 20 page report which is available at FoxNews.com contains the usual array of new taxes and fees including a progressive carbon tax (voluntary at first), a tax on plastic and paper bags provided by Cambridge retailers, a tax on certain (as yet unlisted) packing materials, increased rates for parking meters and increased fees for parking permits which will have additional charges for SUVs and gas guzzlers and all of which will have a built-in annual increase."
