This makes the carbon tax ineffective in reducing the use of anything. This makes it a failure in actually achieving anything other than lower the standard of living.

When something is this poorly executed it doesn’t work. But let’s be realistic here the the carbon tax is just a cash cow and virtue signaling not an attempt to actually make a difference

Why would someone support a completely ineffective plan with no accountability of where the money generated is being used or a plan to use these fund's to work towards a solution?

If you think this is effective you are welcome to send me 50 cents for every piece of trash you don’t recycle and throw in the trash. We can even increase the amount annually till it becomes too unaffordable for you to keep contributing to the waste going into the landfill

I am here to help and it will work!!!

Let’s take a moment and really start thinking about what works vs being scammed in the name of saving the environment
You are wrong on that, I know lots of people that have cut their driving down, turned down heat in homes etc. Is it effective in reducing CO2? Not sure. But it is really effecting lower income folks, those with money can absorb it for now, but they to will feel the pinch as it rises. Takes a small man to ruin a country for his vanity project although I am sure Klause is proud of our government.
