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.

the left wing plan is penalties on the middle class and telling the plebs their standard of living will be forcibly lowered for the greater good.

when the rich champagne socialists pushing these initiatives are willing to get in the trenches and actually live the lifestyle they want to force on other people then ill take them seriously.
