"These 90s talking points directly contradicted the company's own research into #CarbonPricing as a climate solution & showed how advanced the oil industry was, how it it discovered this solution they thought could really work to fix the problem & then intentionally set out to sabotage that."

Europe’s top 10 most polluting airlines revealed in new report calling for carbon market review.
Emissions from flights in Europe last soared year, according to a new study that calls for proper pricing of this pollution.
Expanding the scope of key legislation would not only curb plane emissions, but could generate billions for the green transition, new analysis shows.

Federal and most provincial #CarbonPricing for consumers is now dead in Canada. Murdered by the simplistic #AxetheTax chorus led by the Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre. Unfortunately many Canadians never did understand the program. Also many people did understand it and knew that they were paying more for #fossilfuels unless they adopted #carbonneutral transport, heating, etc. This video from @thenarwhal is helpful to understand some of the issues. https://youtu.be/FP_tJlotgBk?feature=shared

Small businesses still being taxed on carbon rebates, federation says
Small businesses across Canada are still being taxed on their carbon tax rebates, despite a commitment from the former finance minister that they would be tax-free.

Poilievre says Trudeau’s exit won’t shift election focus from carbon price
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre again demanded that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau call a national election instead of proroging Parliament.

@davidho Thanks, I needed another thing to be angry about.
So flying within EU --> no carbon tax. But importing goods into EU --> carbon tax https://www.wired.com/story/eu-carbon-tax/
We need a global carbon fee and dividend plan. No exceptions; no free ride.

CBCThe budget watchdog re-ran the numbers on the carbon tax — and found the same thing | CBC NewsAfter making an "inadvertent error," Canada’s independent budget watchdog re-did its analysis of the federal carbon tax and rebates and came to a similar conclusion.
#Trade and #climate policies intersect as green subsidies spark tariffs. The #EU's #CarbonPricing risks industry relocation. Their new #CarbonTax aims to prevent this and encourage global action, but critics call it protectionism.

London School of Economics and Political ScienceTrade and climate change: managing policies on the road to net zeroTrade and climate change policies have become increasingly interwoven. Subsidies for green industries often provoke tariffs, such as US actions over Chinese solar panels and electric vehicles. The European Union’s Emission Trading System (ETS) has set an increasingly high price on carbon emissions. But if high emission industries like steel, simply relocate and European consumers then buy the imported steel, this “carbon leakage” undermines the original policy. To tackle this problem, the European Union has introduced the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) which seeks to tax such imports to prevent carbon leakage – and to encourage other countries to also introduce carbon taxes. The UK is planning the same. But many countries are unhappy, claiming this is simply disguised protectionism.
Opinion: The conservative defeat of #CarbonPricing is the defeat of economics – and of conservatism - The Globe and Mail https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-the-conservative-defeat-of-carbon-pricing-is-the-defeat-of-economics/ “So not only is the carbon tax more efficient than alternatives, but it is also more fair. Indeed, if we are so foolish as to scrap it, having already gone to the trouble and expense of implementing it, most households will be made worse off, since they lose more by eliminating the rebate than they gain from eliminating the tax.” #CarbonTax

Another finding: Governments cannot rely on #carbonpricing revenues alone to cover the #publicfunding needs for climate investments. While these revenues will rise significantly following the latest reform, they will be offset in the 2030s by the erosion of the fossil fuel tax base. 4/x
Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala (head of World Trade Organisation), wants to find a way to co-ordinate & harmonise carbon pricing regimes.
Why? The EU scheme to equalise carbon pricing by imposing a charge at EU borders on inputs to equalise costs with EU firms who will be required from 2026, looks like it will engender challenges via the WTO's Appellate Court.
But, rather than arguing these charges should be dropped, the WTO now prefers a global regime of carbon pricing!

‘Carbon pricing, whether through a carbon tax or a cap-and-trade program, was “a notable exception” in that it sometimes led to large emissions cuts on its own, the study says, and worked particularly well for emissions from industry and electricity. However, “it works even better if you complement and package it up as a policy mix,” Pretis said.’
