Canada to implement national carbon price

Damn, It was probably raining.

Pick me up at the ferry, let's go for beer.



How soon will ON make up its 40% lag?

Doesn't need to.

Doesn't need to.

Let me fix that for you .
Doesn't need to as , long as transfer payments keep flowing .

It's already happened and well documented.

Clearly, you need to better educate yourself on this matter.

"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 fossil fuels. And that's without a single liquefied natural gas plant being built.

Unfair and regressive

OK. Greenhouse gas emissions went up. But surely there's better news on economic growth?

"B.C.'s economy did not collapse due to the carbon tax, but nor did it grow faster than its neighbours," Lee writes.

In fact, Alberta's gross domestic product grew 22 per cent from 2010 to 2014. Saskatchewan's GDP grew 15 per cent, B.C. lagged with 11-per-cent growth. The gap is similar if you compare growth since 2007, before the carbon tax.

Nor is the carbon tax fair. It's a regressive tax that benefits big business and the wealthy at the expense of lower- and middle-income earners.

It's already reduced carbon emissions in BC.

Bull****.

Ya think? Will flosshole ignore the Tyee?

Any idea where the money will come from? I'll give you a hint. It won't be coming out of the profit margin.

There is no evidence, other than from computer models, that humans have anything to do with climate change.

There is no evidence, other than from computer models, that humans have anything to do with climate change.

And computers never lie.

 

[petros]

Not a single model has been accurate.

How could they when nothing is wrong?

i see their problem... Their computer models are using proper calculations and modelling software whereas their theories are wrong.... If they only made the effort to get East Anglia to develop fraudulent software, they would be 1/2 there to being accurate
