All of these green pie-in-the-sky schemes are justified using highly dubious scary climate change assumptions. The real effect of BC's carbon tax on the global climate will be insignificant. While there's some truth to its revenue neutrality, for now, it's almost certain to eventually morph into a true cash cow.JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10884491329536733335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5649264476699871612.post-75021945691278012682013-08-05T20:21:38.542-07:002013-08-05T20:21:38.542-07:00So where is the documented scientific evidence tha...So where is the documented scientific evidence that our pixie dust tax, sorry carbon tax, has improved the environment.

I think it is also worth mentioning that John Ferry at the <em>Province</em> also took Elgie and his opus to task.<br /><br />See: http://www.theprovince.com/opinion/Ferry+carbon+love+affair+illusion/8719862/story.html<br /><br />And I would think this even if Ferry had not given me an "honourable mention" in his piece;-)<br /><br />Cheers,<br />HilaryHilary Ostrovhttp://hro001.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
