"There is a way out, and that is through a common (global) environmental tax on emissions…." Economists' Voice, July 2006 Joseph Stiglitz on Climate Change: Here are three votes for a carbon tax: Tierney, Nordhaus, and Mankiw…. What do we all have in common? None of us is planning to run for elected office. Gregory Mankiw's Blog, May, 2006 Gregory Mankiw on Climate Change: Also: Alan Greenspan, Martin Feldstein, Gary Becker…

Carbon taxes in Canada Quebec: sale of fossil fuels  less than 1 cent/litre of gas British Columbia: sale of fossil fuels ≈ $9.50/ton CO 2 up to $30/ton  2.4 ¢/litre up to $7.4 ¢/litre Revenue neutrality -- $100 BC "dividend"; pers & corp income taxes, "rural aid"; low-income aid Federal Liberal Party: “Green Shift” expand 10 ¢/litre excise tax to other fossil fuels

"Green Shift": expand 10¢/litre (=$42 tonne CO 2 ) to other fossil fuels: coal, natural gas, heating oil, propane, jet fuel, etc. Revenue neutrality: lower lowest income tax rate, working income tax credit, rural/Northern relief, lower corp taxes, accelerated cost deprec for green technologies, R&D funding…

"But Canada is a cold place and heating your home really isn't a choice." "The National Energy Program was designed to screw the West and really damage the energy sector and this will do those things … But this is different. It will actually screw everybody across the country."
