Hmmm , no reply from the pro carbon tax crowd ??

It is absurd that carbon has been villified when we are made of carbon and it is the staff of life. How the world has been scammed by self-enriching greedy buggars and the lefties fell for it because the energy indistry represents wealth. They are blinded by that jealousy, that's how it works.

Klause thanks for the heads up. Proponents of a carbon tax always talk of how it is the best solution and that it will create change on its own. But governments won't let the carbon tax work. They start layering on regulations. One example is the elimination of coal from our electrical grid in Canada. Now this clean fuel mandate. Each regulation and tax adds to our cost of living. I think the article said Trudeau's carbon tax will lower our emissions 18 million tonnes, the clean fuel mandate another 30 million tonnes out of a the theoretical 220 million tonnes by 2030, so 22% of the way there. Imagine what it is going to cost us to get the rest of the way!!

I wonder how much Co2 was burned to take that whole delegation to Paris ?
But that's ok , it's "do as we say , not do as we do. "
No different than the Hollywood smucks and the likes of Gore and Suzuki that tell us it's our fault the earth is falling apart and it's our fault and we must change the way we live our lives .
The hypocrisy is almost unbearable. They want everyone to change their way of life and pay to keep theirs .

I hope the hell the numbers come out and it becomes election issues. But how many
Carbon-tards are there?

Everyone who does not have to make a living burning fossil fuels ..... and drink their expresso's from styrofoam cups .

Carbon taxes have never and will never do anything for the environment. It is just a tool to steal from those who don't support lieberal government and pay off those who vote for them. Business as usual. With gargantuan debt, governments will be on to anything and everything to harvest tax dollars. The corporate tax screwing around is just more of this.

Furrow sums it up.

UNBELIEVABLE!
