Someone in my LinkedIn network posted a picture of Trudeau and it said; "Unemployment is at 7.4% - So why is there a carbon tax?".

Besides the fact I hate that LinkedIn is turning into Facebook, but this type of comparison is just so ridiculous and short sighted. It's like saying that house prices are too high, so why put money towards fighting cancer.

Global climate change is a serious issue. I do suspect like EE was saying, that there are a combination of things going on, but the anthropogenic causes still need to be addressed.

For ultra-conservatives, I would also point out that it's probably one of the most underappreciated causes for human migrations that are going on right now as well. Desertification is initiating the largest human migration since Attila the Hun ravaged the Steppes. A migration that collapsed the Roman Empire and sent Europe in the Dark Ages. The socio-economic repercussion of not doing enough to curb climate change will be devastating.
