Re: Serial arsonist arrested for California wildfires as alGore blames global warmingYou must have some examples. Will you list them? Of course not. You don't know what you are talking about Sooh, perhaps you can provide some examples of your wonderful strategy? There aren't many, you didn't know that did you! That's cuz it's not successful. BC, a province in Canada has implemented what you propose way back in 2008, you didn't know that of course. Here's a left wing nut job opinion of your carbon tax. Whether you look at greenhouse gas emissions or economic statistics, B.C. carbon tax has tanked. Marc Lee, senior economist for the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives in the province, likes carbon taxes. But "don't believe the hype on B.C.'s carbon tax," he says. "The reality is that since 2010, B.C.'s GHG emissions have increased every year; as of 2013 they are up 4.3 per cent above 2010 levels," Lee writes on the CCPA website. Even on a per capita basis, emissions have risen. "We see the recession-induced drop in 2009 and 2010, then increases from 13.5 tonnes per person in 2010 to 13.7 tonnes per person in 2013," Lee says. Lee points out that two-thirds of B.C.'s greenhouse gas increase is because of growth in the natural gas industry, which Clark boasts is better than other So the B.C. carbon tax hasn't reduced greenhouse gas emissions, might have slowed economic growth and hurts the poor while benefitting the rich -- and for this it's praised? You didn't know that did you! http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2016/03/08/BC-Carbon-Tax-Failure/ |
