No matter what you think about climate change and how much mankind has to do with it, this is very good for the US economy, and very bad for Canada's. Carbon taxes, when at the same time our largest trading partner is lowering taxes and reducing regulations and not taxing carbon, will be a very heavy burden for our industries and citizens to bear.

Carbon taxes will only really work at reducing CO2 levels if every nation in the world takes on the same carbon taxes, at the same time. Otherwise, it's just a lefty, socialist, wealth redistribution scheme, doomed to failure.
