Evil, just a money maker for the gov. I'm still waiting for the ice age that was supposed to come in the 70's.

I agree rider, TOTAL money grab...I work at UNBC, so I think I might go to this.

I wish there was more snow, but this planet doesn't stand still for anybody, and never has. Look at the fossil record.

Frustrating to have to put up with this silliness about carbon tax... creative logic is such an evil misuse of man's attempt to manipulate nature.

We have witnessed the birth of another industry... "The Carbon Tax Corp" ...

Hhaha Good one RRabbit! When does Carbon Tax Corp trade on the stock market?

Amazing that a Nobel prize would be given to a team that thinks a man-made law of taxation in one Province, or even one country, is ever going to change the natural law governance of climate.

Yet those same 'great thinkers' can't see how the completely man-made, so- called 'Laws' of Economics could be changed to remove the purely 'financial' necessity of our doing most of the human caused detriments affecting that climate. Ones that we currently have to do to try to get enough 'money' just to live. As well as now paying one more obnoxious tax.

RRabbit is bang on!
The rhetoric regarding global warming and the multi-billion dollar green industry it has created, is making a lot of money for those smart enough to jump on the band wagon early.
And even our elected provincal government has quickly figured out they can whack us for a bit more cash.
(while giving themselves raises at the same time I might add)
The logic behind a carbon tax/carbon credits is ridiculous and there is no doubt it was dreamed up by politicians.
It is a cash cow.
We cannot tax polution out of existance.
The major pollutors are still in business and nothing is being done to tune them up.
I fail to see how taxation will get that done.
We have less money,and industry is still doing what they always do.
A vicious circle that goes nowhere.
Only legislation and regulation can do that,but governments do not screw around with the big boys and that we all understand.
Welcome to the new world industry...GREEN!
And it is going to get a lot worse and cost us a lot more as time goes on.
In reality,it is called "brainwashing" and it's working very well.

No kidding - this quack managed to demonize a colourless, odourless, tasteless, inert, 100% non-toxic gas and turn it into a Nobel Prize and multi-billion dollar industry and taxation scheme. Good for him, bad for the rest of the world.

First question I would ask Dr.Jaccard is how much are your getting paid to say this and why would you accept a hypothesis that over 30,000 scientists have refused to accept citing flawed data.

It should also be noted that when the carbon tax was being discussed in the BC caucus, a number of govt. MLA's where opposed to the tax and the global warming theory because there was not sufficient evidence that global warming was occurring. The Premier stated that even though there was not sufficient evidence of global warming, 80% of the public believed it to be true, therefore they would accept a carbon tax.

Go figure.

rvuser.. If your in PG get your ass to UNBC and ask the question! Make that dumb bastard earn his money!!

Sorry northman, the high cost of fuel makes it difficult to be there, but perhaps some of you guys in PG can do just that.

Bunch of ninnies. First of all define a "good tax".

Bunch of ninnies. First of all define a "good tax".

Mr. Jaccard being a member of the IPCC would mean he got a share of the Nobel dough. How much? I need to know this to enhance and continue my cynicism.

They finally figured out a way to tax the air we breathe without having to clean up the air we breathe.

I like the one where Global TV flew a plane from Tofino to points east talking to voters in the federal election.
But it was okay to do that because they bought carbon credits. They still contributed to pollution with the plane flying across Canada. But their conscience is clear because they paid for credits. By the way, Who gets this money? Who do they pay?
We don't have the technology to clean up alot of our pollution. Remember China and India are not on board and the world revolves every 24 hours. Nor is the U.S.

"First of all define a "good tax"."

Any one that's just been cancelled.
