I'm all for doing "our share", but in a measured and calculated approach. Jumping first and asking questions later (or going "oops.. didn't think that would happen") just isn't it.
Since when is a $10 per tonne carbon tax anything and everything to do something about climate change? Infact, a carbon tax is probably the most measured and calculated approach you could take. You have a really good idea of its revenues and the direct costs to consumers.

What would you suggest we do? More of the same? ie nothing?
