Closed Debate the implementation of a carbon tax in the House of Commons

Closed on

Climate change is currently happening and economic experts cite a carbon tax as a solid and progressive step. Reducing carbon consumption and also taxation needed from other sources.

Carbon tax would drastically reduce the rates of income tax. More money for you and a better environment.

https://www.carbontax.org/why-a-carbon-tax/

'A robust tax on carbon pollution will create powerful incentives inducing policy-makers and individuals to reduce carbon emissions through conservation, substitution and innovation'

'Currently, the prices of electricity, gasoline and other fuels reflect little or none of the long-term costs from climate change or even the near-term health costs of burning fossil fuels'
