Climate change action in the US will be impossible to pass without a carbon tariff to protect US interests from free riders. <BR/><BR/>Like Steve said, the EU is already working on applying tariffs on products like steel from India. Nobody who has been paying attention will be asking the dumbass questions Prof. Hart suggests.<BR/><BR/>JBJimBobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04603665575714484326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-60815922515195278002008-07-24T02:26:00.000-04:002008-07-24T02:26:00.000-04:00Did you mean to say that tariffs on goods from cou...Did you mean to say that tariffs on goods from countries like China and India is now a good thing? <BR/><BR/>Wasn't Dion in Bali telling everyone that it would be wrong to make those countries participate in CO2 reductions, and now he wants to punish those very same countries with tariffs for not having CO2 reductions?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-19953092924324006072008-07-24T02:01:00.000-04:002008-07-24T02:01:00.000-04:00Well, Obama's already talking about doing this so ...Well, Obama's already talking about doing this so if we don't have a carbon tax, we'll be shipping money down there in the form of a carbon tax and paying more for their products.<BR/><BR/>Stephane Dion's plan will at least leave the money in Canada to use for innovation and fairness.Deb Protherohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06403442452148244237noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20358187.post-29693406682102937462008-07-23T23:59:00.000-04:002008-07-23T23:59:00.000-04:00Can we talk about the Tobin tax too?
