Of course, we know it's just a scam to skim money from the producers.
We are a world powered mainly by the use of fossil fuels, it's the life blood that drives the world's economy.
So all these corrupt liars are doing, is pretending the are just trying to save the planet, when all they are doing is leeching off the the life blood of the world's producers.
People also like cleanish air. I can tell you don't travel abroad much and are spoiled by the progress made in America with pollution.
You don't really know how a carbon tax works do you?
A carbon tax is levied against the energy companies who pass the cost down to consumers where it impacts the low-income most of all. And the politicians who skim the tax for themselves get rich.
