Carbon tax is actually economically sound.
Nearly every sensible economist you speak to will tell you a carbon tax is the solution to climate change.
Conveniently when western world had 300 year head start in unchecked pollution CO2 emissions.
I believe this whole carbon tax is ploy by western countries to obstruct the progress of developing countries particularly in Asia.
How hypocritical of them to demand carbon tax after they reached their economic peak, they're at their zenith and used coal to it's full potential for hundreds of years. Now they want to deny China and other emerging industrial countries the same benefits they enjoyed prior.
