Putting a price on carbon usage will discourage people from using it.

I'm not stressed by the Carbon Tax.

5 cents a litre * 35 litres an hour is about $1.50 an hour. Not a big deal.

Most years I fly about 120 hours, so say $200 a year.

Happy to do my bit for the environment.

Peterc, even using your own logic you are contradicting yourself. It would seem you haven't been too 'discouraged' from using carbon, no? Rather hypocritical wouldn't you say? If you were serious you would be telling us how you are planning to reduce your 120 hours a year down to zero...

This is beside the point of whether it would actually do anything significant to affect 'global warming' anyway.
