One is that Climate change is crap, another that we will be "going it alone" if we take mitigation measures, and the third is that the whole deal is a socialist plot to redistribute wealth.<br />It should be a scientific, rather than a political discussion, and both major political parties have sought to use it as a political wedge. I care too much for my country and my children to cop that.<br />To answer your question, the papers I have referenced support the notion that mitigation measures will make a difference. They are a small sample of literally thousands of studies out there that come to that conclusion. Put simply, if it costs your bottom line to put harmful emissions into the atmosphere, you'll seek alternatives.1735099https://www.blogger.com/profile/17945140949290600423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4203110337754630589.post-23945063408308273062011-06-18T22:32:12.893+10:002011-06-18T22:32:12.893+10:00Lemme see if I have this right.

You want us to reference a study that shows that a price on carbon will increase emissions?<br /><br />I don't think anyone will disagree with your conclusions, that a carbon tax will reduce emissions.<br /><br />That's not what the question we should be asking.<br /><br />Because the problem is a temperature increase caused by mankind's CO2 emissions, how will a carbon tax solve this problem?cavhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05338928424789193611noreply@blogger.com
