The Carbon Tax is just a money grab. It's not going to reduce emissions. All the while we have 3rd world industrializing nations contributing the majority of the world's greenhouse gases at an alarming pace.
We need to impose tariffs and taxes on manufactured goods from countries with deplorable environmental records. We buy less goods from them, they manufacture less goods and pollute less. That reduces carbon. NOT charging me extra to heat my home or fill out at the pump.
I love our environment and would like to see greater protection of it. But Carbon Tax is not the answer. For the government to shove it down our throats and think we are stupid enough to believe it is done all in the name of saving the environment is egregious.
