CNSNews.com) – “Risky Business” - a 56-page report released in June warning that “the world may have as little as 15 years to keep planetary warming to a tolerable level” - is just another attempt by economic and political elites to impose a carbon tax on Americans, says Dan Kish, senior vice president for policy at the Institute for Energy Research (IER).

The report was co-chaired by former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson, and Thomas Steyer, the retired founder of Farallon Capital Management.

Citing the U.N.’s latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which acknowledged a 17-year “pause” in global warming, "Risky Business" nonetheless urges “an aggressive push to bring down carbon emissions” while depoliticizing the issue.
