The Chinese (and others) can make pledges all day long, that doesn't mean they will be fulfilled
Just as long as you are clear on that
Btw, how many Canadian heads are in the tar sands
In realize that political promises are often written in sand, and I have never said that Canada, particularly Alberta has clean hands. As a matter of fact our present Prime Minister is a conservative climate change denier who has been promoting development of the tar sands project, but there is an election coming on October 19th...Hopefully we can make a change and fix that problem.
LOL, nice try, but fail. All they would need to do is impose limits, not completely eliminate them. They could impose limits for each country and allow that country decide best how to control each particular industry.
The problem there is that the real goal wouldn't be met - money through taxes.
I object to you failing to use common sense.
I also object to you going to the "racism" card on your very first response. Common courtesy has always been that you throw the racism card once you've been defeated in at least two posts.
You get called a racist often enough that you have rules for it? That should tell you something about yourself. It's not a good thing. Stop being racist and people will stop calling you racist. Simple.
The "real goal" should be reducing carbon emissions, yes. The U.S. doesn't have the authority to do so unilaterally, but that's what treaties are for.
Unfortunately, everyone's going to have to work together to solve this problem, and there are enough people moaning about it that it's going to be very difficult to get everyone onboard. That's why I'm not very optimistic.

Taxing the poor isn't how its going to get done. I wonder how many solar panels could be installed with the cost of one week of war?
And your aircraft runs on imagination I guess....I like our carbon tax and so do most of the people in BC. I don't get other people's money...I get my own money back through income tax cuts.
Speaking of imagination, I see you're still trying to sell us that people like carbon taxes in BC, which is an absolute lie, because I actually read the comments below the article. The United States and BC are two completely different places. Since obama has ran up the debt so high, that carbon tax will likely go to pay that, and prop up obamcare and and all his other failed polices.
First, I want to know what they are going to do with the carbon tax money???
Where will it go, who will spend it, and on what???
It's not nice to fool mother nature and I don't think throwing money at
her helps much either.
Every penny goes back to individuals and businesses...The folks who paid the tax....
“Revenue-neutral” by law, the policy requires equivalent cuts to other taxes. In practice, the province has cut $760-million more in income and other taxes than needed to offset carbon tax revenue.
The result is that taxpayers are coming out ahead. B.C. now has the lowest personal income tax rate in Canada (with additional cuts benefiting low-income and rural residents) and one of the lowest corporate rates in North America. You shouldn’t need an economist and a mining entrepreneur to tell you that’s good for business and jobs. The shocking truth about B.C.

Who is the liar?
The tax has actually become quite popular. “Polls have shown anywhere from 55 to 65 percent support for the tax,” says Stewart Elgie, director of the University of Ottawa’s Institute of the Environment. “And it would be hard to find any tax that the majority of people say they like, but the majority of people say they like this tax.” Here’s why B.C.’s carbon tax is super popular — and effective | Grist
According to the survey, 59 per cent of Canadians in the rest of the country would support a B.C.-style carbon tax in their own province. And support for the carbon tax goes beyond Canada’s borders, with it being highlighted as a model for broader adoption in the Economist, the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times. http://www.timescolonist.com/opinion...o-grow-1.31746

There is no free lunch, the consequences are increases to the cost of goods. You wouldn't need a carbon tax otherwise.
