Forcing industry to eat the costs of green initiatives. Instead of passing it on to consumers.
I have no idea how you can come to the conclusion I'm a Conservative shill.
No, I never said that I do little to nothing.
But it is true that we do have to prioritize on a macroscopic scale. It's unrealistic to expect regular, every day people to change their habits. The problem is severe enough that we need an enforced policy. And that belays the greater point that it should begin with emissions reductions in industry.
This is all common sense anyway.
It's just what kind of policy we need that needs to be agreed upon.
I don't think suzuki would condescend in taking any form of public transit... He did buy a diesel bus to transport himself and a couple of aides a while back despite the myriad of airlines and buses that would have been the eco-friendly option
The NDP hasn't been the working man's party for at least a decade. Rather it has been the party of militant government unions and socialist dreamers.
That's one way, but green initiatives are not as big a problem as emissions output.
The science world agrees that emissions are the top priority and they have to be reduced.
Fair enough... With the above in mind, any of the present schemes, programs, proposals, etc affect the average person monetarily in a very negative way.
My point being, you can't have it both ways.
When it comes to emissions reductions?
Probably not, but we're not talking about putting money in people's pockets. We're talking about slowing the rate of warming.
It won't matter how rich anyone is if we have to worry about environmental hazards in 100 or so years.
It has little to do with habits, the implication there, is that what everyday people do, is some sort of elective.
It isn't.
I have to get up, I have to fire up my vehicle, because I have to drive to wherever my present contract takes me. So I can pay my bills.
Can you make that makes sense?
Or are you being purposely deceptive?
Exactly.
Which is why there needs to be policy that begins with industry-wide changes and reductions in those emissions. Then, once that industry decides to lessen it's dependency on resources that cause C02 emissions, it should have a positive effect on clean tech, etc.
But that only begins once we find a way to reduce C02 emissions.
There's the carbon tax, cap and trade, and legislation.
I'm simply asking your opinion on what is the best option and what it would entail.

I think the other far reaching German policies, probably played a large part.
They didn't likely put the cart before the horse.
So nothing on the kind of legislation we should enact Bear?
I'm not saying you have to be an expert on the subject. I just want to get some ideas.

Excellent example of putting the cart before the horse.
I was busy reading about Germany and the green monster.
Geezus, aren't you a little old to be an attention wh!re? You aren't the only person here eh.
I gave you one.
So do you think a carbon tax or cap and trade should be enforced?
Or what other specific legislation should be enacted to reduce C02 emissions?
Or what other specific legislation should be enacted to reduce C02 emissions?
Let's keep in mind that the ultimate goal is to reduce C02 emissions.
How would we go about enforcing that goal?
