I would first ask why we need to reduce carbon emissions, but to date nobody can provide a reason and support it with verifiable facts.

As to the notion that putting a price on emissions will result in a reduction of said emissions. Lets see some examples of where this has actually resulted?

All you achieve by adding a cost is that of creating a greater cost.

When the grocery store increases the price of milk, does that store sell less milk? Of course not, consumers are simply forced to pay more (a greater cost).
