NewsBusters has a great little blurb on the Goddard Institute for Space Studies’ chief James Hansen’s letter to President Elect Obama, which outright calls for carbon taxes levied on anything related to carbon, for the sake of redistribution of wealth. Here’s a prime quote from the letter.
The carbon tax has social benefits. It is progressive. It is useful to those most in need in hard times, providing them an opportunity for larger dividend than tax. It will encourage illegal immigrants to become legal, thus to obtain the dividend, and it will discourage illegal immigration because everybody pays the tax, but only legal citizens collect the dividend.

Well, at least the Church of Global Warming is finally showing their true stripes.
