Again an obvious attempt to distort. My point obviously was that ALL laws control the individual. Laws are part of the social contract the individual has with the rest of society for civilization to exist.

The "equivalent" you speak of would be the dumping trash on your neighbors lawn. There are laws against this. Are they all about the control of the individual? Or is there a common sense reason for it? There are also common sense reasons to compel people to stop emitting so much carbon. If the science for global warming were proven wrong then part of those reasons would be gone and the need for the carbon tax would be debatable. But it has nothing to do with tyranny. That is a smoke screen the right throws up to push there agenda. IT'S ABOUT ACHIEVING AN ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVE.
