Nooope. Only within the formula. It is Bullsh't just like 96% of 33% creating a concensus.

Yes, I'm sure everything you don't like is bullsh*t just because you say it is.

Just like the global warming consensus is bull**** because you misunderstood the significance of applicable studies or that fossil fuels subsidies don't exist because you only accept direct cash deposits.


It's all about what you would like things to mean lol

Thanks....proves rising.

In the future, if they don't increase the tax.

Anytime you want to cough up details on how and why emissions dropped in BC in or out of the formula you are more than welcome to post them.

I'll even give you a hint...

BC has one remaining pulp mill.

Reduction is silly, because it's only slowing down the unavoidable that we still will be over polluted eventually even with our efforts. It's half a$$ backward policy by people with lack of vision, that hinders our ability to problem solve by over regulation, that stifles innovation.

Even with reduction, capitalism will still need to save us, and it will by rewarding innovating technologies to clean up the earth for the survival of human kind. Reduction won't be the solution that saved us in the end. Innovation stimulated by capitalist reward will be what saves us.

Reduction Is the biggest waste of our time, It won't even slow down pollution enough to make a diffrence, and all this hard work for nothing at a cost to our innovation. The one biggest strenght humans really have. Our amazing ability to problem solve with the help of technologies.


Who gives a $hit about some dumb fu€k that wants to live in a dirt hut.

The solution to our problems won't be to all go back to living in a dirt hut.

Because Brad Wall.

Also, there is nothing that mandates that a carbon tax must be limited to production in the territory and as I said already, I'm sure they could expand it or may be doing so already.


Either way, BC reduced their carbon emissions.

Government can't save us, all they can do is buy your votes, they don't have the intellectual infrastructure to put in a plan to save us.

Look at ontarios electrical grid that now consumes the most fossil fuel in North America.

Capitalism rewarding innovation, Will be what saves humanity in the end. It's our only hope.

The shocking truth about B.C.’s carbon tax: It works - The Globe and Mail

Far from a being a “job killer,” it is a world-leading example of how to tackle one of the greatest global challenges of our time: building an economy that will prosper in a carbon-constrained world.

I think what you meant to say was one of the greatest global lies of our time

Meanwhile, in capitalist states like Detroit......

.. And yet, folks in Cuba, Venezuela and N. Korea would give their left nut for the chance to live in Detroit

Successful at what? Taxing people?

If you logically follow the foot steps to the writing on the wall it won't be what saves humanity. Capitalist driven innovation is what's going to save us. Gadgets that filter the atmosphere.

The level of your ignorance and lack of humanity is staggering. How many times did your mother drop you on your head?

BC is pushing carbon industries like LNG, coastal super tankers and tar sands pipelines. Crispy Clark is a hypocrite and a menace to society and the environment.
Something has to power the big rigs and the boats they are towing through your community . And all those motor homes owned by your neighbours need fuel .

B.C.'s carbon tax is simply another form of crony capitalism . But it sounds great .

Run by the Dems since '62 the beginning of the decline, and Dems are far from favouring capitalism.

Apparently they favour it more than Republicans if you look forward to the next election.

And yes, I realize Detroit is in Michigan.

Please forgive me your graces.

"capitalism is going to save us" despite its existence for 200+ years showing no ability to do so; no ability to ever want to; and only has ever shown the contrary - that it'll be our doom.

this liberal is total bat**** crazy, a total market fundamentalist. ignore reality, pretend we're doing alright and we'll going to be saved by the invisible hand or some stupid garbage.

and **** profit being the reason we're driven to innovation, we're driven to innovation because of curiosity, a desire to improve living standards, to live in a better world. those human traits that brought about scientific inquiry. capitalism doesn't foster innovation, it only crushes it. it crushes necessary emotions like compassion, and heightens destructive emotions such as greed.

You take things capitalism have given us for granted.

Without a corporation making refrigerators we would still be living like stupid Native Americans in dirt huts. You can't take all the bad and ignore every little bit of good. Only a ****ing moron can do that.

The level of your ignorance and lack of humanity is staggering. How many times did your mother drop you on your head?

I'm just tired of you whining little want to be Native American bit€hes.

When they rise slower, it's also acknowledged as a reduction.

As long as it is sustainable, a gradual rise could be acceptable.

You should read what you just posted. That is the kind of lack of logic that has gotten our governments into such poor financial shape. No brains at all.
