Marjorie Taylor Greene: They Didn't Raise Taxes to Combat Climate Change In the Ice Age

Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican congresswoman from Georgia, has created quite a stir with her recent comments on climate change. In an interview with Tucker Carlson on his Fox News show, she argued that raising taxes to combat climate change is unnecessary because “they didn’t do that in the Ice Age.”

According to Greene, the planet has gone through countless cycles of warming and cooling, with periods of extreme ice ages and tropical conditions. She believes that these changes were natural phenomena, not caused by human activity, and that therefore humans cannot affect the climate in any significant way.

Greene’s statements are not only at odds with the overwhelming scientific consensus on climate change, but they also ignore the fact that the current changes to the climate are happening more quickly than any natural cycle could account for.

It’s worth noting that Greene has a controversial history when it comes to science and science education. She has previously expressed support for conspiracy theories about 9/11 and the Sandy Hook shooting, and has been criticized for her anti-Semitic and Islamophobic comments.

The discussion around climate change is an important one, as it has enormous implications for our planet and its future. Whether or not we choose to acknowledge the human impact on climate change, it’s important to consider ways to reduce our carbon footprint and support sustainable practices that ensure a healthy planet for generations to come.
