The other night I flew with a bloke who deserved a Carbon Tax bill for the emissions he was making after eating the onboard Lamb Curry... I also suggested use of the fumes removal checklist, which didn't go down too well
Seriously though, are there any tangible links between the revenue from this tax and investing in the pursuit of cleaner (+economically viable) energy sources? would it be too cynical to float the idea that the government may be using climate change as a guise to pursue its own goals of wealth re-distribution, whilst at the same time earning more marginal green votes?
