...if this won't have much effect on the price of anything, how will it effect on our consumption and therefore the emissions of airborne carbon?

...and the problem with our economy isn't that it's socialist or corporatist or whatever. The main problem is that we are moving towards a centrally planned economy - we all know how well they worked out by the late '80s. I know for a fact that the centrally planned economy is the ambition because Juliar and her ilk keep banging on about how well the government is managing the economy. My guess is when it really turns pear-shaped, it will be all the excuse they are looking for to 'manage' it even more!
