The argument from your article is actually the one that was disproved by the statistical analysis in the citation I've provided.

That's what I figured.

Let's pretend that other places that have reduced their emissions through carbon pricing don't exist either.

It makes you feel good.

It's not my fault you failed to disprove the fact that your latest citation is based on the same fudged data.

I can understand why you'd employ deceit to save face. What with your fragile ego and all.

Your opinion holds no weight, you're a proven liar.

It's okay that your article didn't disprove a reduction in emissions in BC.

From a carbon tax.

That was revenue neutral.

And didn't harm BC's economy.

How can BC fudge a report that actually agrees with your article on higher personal consumption?

That's the whole point of the tax lol

Why are you so afraid of a carbon tax?

Because he depends on a job that relies on energy prices being competitive. We don't all sit in a government office doing absolutely nothing all day completely sheltered from all possible bad economical consequences & volatility like you flossy.

Unlike a completely protected government worker, the privat sector won't employ people if it's not profitable in a very competitive world.

Flossy's pedigree is ODSP, not govt employee. I'm also not afraid of a carbon tax in the context he wishes to use. Which is his usual tact when he's cornered and looking stupid.

I simply know a carbon tax is not revenue neutral, as has been proven time and time again. That has an impact on a broad spectrum of people as you have pointed out. Flossy only cares about his monthly ODSP payment. People who actually work, actually care about how much money the govt will take from them.

I don't work for the government and I'm sure many people in BC don't either.

Yet they still have their jobs and BC is doing reasonably well even with a carbon tax.
