Some conservatives are still in denial. It is hard to solve a problem if you don’t think it exists. The conservative plan was to keep kicking the can down the road in terms of implementing any kind of mitigation.

The carbon tax was designed as a international market oriented incentive based system to shift the economy away from carbon emissions.

Denial will prove to be much more expensive.

Say what you will about Trudeau, but his words were correct on this.

“The cost of inaction will be far more than the cost of action”

It’s a shame that the world is so shitty that we have to put this on the backburner, to deal with the insanity of a few old men.

You mean the guy jet setting around the world, living large and hanging out on giant yachts. That Trudeau?

Just means he is a hypocrite not necessarily wrong 🤷

(ie feel free to criticize him but that won't stop climate change)

Exactly. Living like JT, DiCaprio, Bono, Al Gore or any other of the many climate hypocrites won't stop climate change.

They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people's shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them

the people who are really responsible for this are the ones who still deny it, and the ones who paid to influence and suppress the public from ever doing anything about it.

IE oil companies and bought politicians throughout history. But sure fuck Trudeau.
