If you are an average middle-class Canadian, you already pay something like 45% in all taxes out. How much more are you willing to pay for the above?

I should remind you that this discussion began by the argument that these sacrifices are trivial compared to a worst-case scenario. Certainly a 45% tax rate is trivial compared to the lives of your children, or your childen's children. What in your mind is the worst-case consequence of climate change? What sacrifices would you make to prevent that potential eventuality?
