An Open Letter from Economists on Canadian Carbon Pricing

[cropgrower]

clearly CC dont have a clue what he is talking about , we all know that the climate change scam is just a wealth transfer scam , been 40 years hearing garbage predictions , not one has happened yet

In this case the economists who wrote that letter that cherry picked data. Then Chuck2 accused me of misrepresenting the increase of emissions in 2022. In both 2020 and 2009 emissions went down due to economic contractions. This belief in carbon taxes reducing emissions is really an illusion because the only verifiable reductions in emissions in Canada since 2008 have been caused by economic contractions!!!

You missed the point. The fact that CO2 reductions coincide with economic contractions is a feature and not a bug.
Economic contraction is the goal.

You mean THESE misses?

Answer CC...any come true?

and the polar bears , we were told they would all be long gone by now , remember that garbage being pumped into the kids at school , save the polar bears !!! that was back when they were calling it global warming , they changed that title because it was very clear it was not warming one bit and people were waking up to the scam , scam and lies all the way

I certainly agree economic contraction is the goal..

100,000 increase in federal employees since JT first elected.
31% increase in payroll cost.
But it's all for a good cause.

"I have also watched truckers start to turn off their trucks instead of idling while loading."

ECMs have been programmable to limit idling since the early 90s.
Engine longevity mostly and fuel savings. Long before a govt did anything. Course you'd know that if you didn't get all your information from a professor.

Well this about cliches it.

Mr Geebo say if we do nothing to control climate change by 2050 it will cost the average Canadian family $2000.

Steven Guilbeault: Why I think the carbon tax is the right policy for Canada

"?And doing nothing is truly more costly. Climate-related impacts are costing average Canadian households $720 per year today, and will rise to around $2,000 per year by 2050. In 2023, Canada’s severe weather caused over $3.1 billion in insured damages. That’s just the table stakes for impacts that are also costing lives and affecting physical and mental health."

"One thing we should all be able to agree on is leaving a better country to our children and grandchildren. For the love of our families, we must continue to work for a healthy, safe and sustainable environment for the generations that follow."


I think Mr Geebo must have written and submitted this op-ed all by himself.

If you read the comments it seems he can trigger people even more than his boss.

I can't speak for everyone, but I think my families will be able to afford the $2000 much easier than any more Liberal governments.

Suggest you download that article before it disappears.

There are so many critical thinking issues with that Geebo statement you wonder how stupid some people are.

We are sending them our money and some think we should send more.

?
Sounds like a bargain compared to the alternative.
If we pretend that his number is based on reality, and I know that is a stretch.
CO2 tax is set to hit $170 per tonne by 2030.
Canada's per capita CO2 emissions are 15.22 tonnes per year.
So by 2030, the CO2 tax burden per citizen will be $2587 per year
Average family size in Canada is 2.9 people.
So CO2 tax per family in 2030 will be over $7500 per year.
Using Guilbealt's math, the CO2 tax will cost the average Canadian family nearly 4 times what climate change would otherwise cost.

This reminds me of Chuck math.

And these are the people in charge of the purse strings of our country.
