Abdication of responsibility to say "derp, hopeless", when there are clearly varying degrees of climate change. It's the basis behind 'pay now or pay later'.
The province can take a bit of a hit now to industry or they can take a huge hit when the province alternates between droughts and floods year to year.
The other aspect, is how can you possibly ask someone else to make the changes you yourself are not willing to make? Hypocritical.

Then make real change.
Give everyone a carbon allowance and allow each individual to spend it. Actually control carbon. paying cash to coal suppliers and taxing everything at a rate that won't change behaviour does nothing.
The Carbon tax in an intelligent royalty structure just comes right out the governments share and does nothing to curb emissions. You should really stop with the hyperbole of droughts and floods alternating every year.
Also the whole every little bit counts is likely untrue as the tipping points on climate change appear to be where we are headed and the little changes do little
