Carbon Tax

What's the big deal with this Carbon Tax stuff?

What the Parties Say
Carbon Tax is apparently a bit of a big deal to the UCP.
 * "[...] they claim it hurts industry “competitiveness,” but then scream foul when the government tinkers with the program to address those very competitiveness issues. Unfortunately for Canadians, the anti-carbon tax politicians and industry groups are distorting sound economics for political gain."

What does the Science say?
For now, some links:
 * Low-income Canadians benefit most from federal carbon tax: study
 * “It performed better on all fronts than I think any of us expected,” said Mary Polak, [BC] environment minister. “To the extent that the people who modeled it predicted this, I’m not sure that those of us on the policy end of it really believed it.”
 * Nobel Memorial prize for economics related to the subject

Too little? Too late?
Some people say that climate change might not be slowed or halted enough by these efforts.
