[QUOTE="Dave645, post: 7612087, member: 55822"] I do, but carbon taxes are not about making anyone rich, they are actually about keeping us all alive. Global problems need global solutions no one person or country will fix or break it, sending food half way round the world when it can be produced easily in the country it’s going too, has a cost far greater than the product. Case in point, the destruction of rain forest to produce beef for export, compared with a uk farmer that likely net zero already, why should that import have the ability to under cut that local production, when is has a massive carbon foot print, from the destruction of the rain Forrest to the transport it needed, the true cost not just its intrinsic costs. Fuel etc. the carbon system is about bringing fairness and accountability to this broken system. If done right local production should always have a small advantage. [/QUOTE]
