Re: “Elizabeth May’s carbon-tax plan unrealistic,” online only.
Les Leyne admits that “the cheque might be a more direct incentive to cut emissions than the tax cuts” when comparing the fee and dividend approach to carbon pricing with the B.C. government’s carbon tax. But for some odd reason he felt a need to dump on Elizabeth May and the fee and dividend approach.
Fee and dividend is supported by the international Citizens Climate Lobby group. These are grassroots people who realize climate change threatens life on earth, could condemn our children to a horrific future, and are dedicating their energies to work in a non-partisan way for the most effective, transparent and fair carbon pricing system we know of. It’s worth checking out.
