Taking it out of one pocket and putting it in the other doesn't accomplish anything.
Why can't a business just do the right thing on their own?
Actually our carbon tax is doing just what it was meant to....Emissions are down, we now have the lowest income tax rate in Canada and the strongest economy.
Companies, even oil companies are doing what the government won't.
More than 1,200 global businesses, including U.S. companies such as Disney, Shell and General Motors, are moving to embrace a carbon price — even if President Trump isn’t, according to a new report by a Washington climate think tank.
Oil companies have always been on the leading edge pushing for climate change legislation because they stand to benefit most from it. The carbon exchange is where the real money is to be made and they will be the primary beneficiaries.
America:
1990 to 2014 (24 years) greenhouse gas emissions increased by 9%.
Methane decreased by 6%
NOX decreased by 1%
Flourinated gases increased by 77%, but they make up a tiny portion of total emissions. https://www.epa.gov/climate-indicato...-gas-emissions

Of course they're pushing it--they are the ones who make money from the scam! The energy businesses who produce the most emissions get "credit" for those emissions, and under the new system get PAID when they just reduce production of that pollutant--or when they SELL those "rights" to pollute.
Big Government just gets a big cut of every new thieving scheme they come up with.

Why would emissions be down?
