pricing Labor still can't convince people it isn't creating a new tax, it might have difficulty getting though the positives of its policy. 425 comments Erick says: Horse says: 07:22am | 14/09/11 The line people need to follow is that atmospheric carbon dioxide is just a nett indicator of the processing of carbon-based organic-chemicals like fossil fuels.  It is an indicator of a number of gases that produce a greenhouse effect, another significant one being water vapour - a result of higher rates of evaporation due to higher temperatures. A snow-balling effect. scubasteve says: 08:15am | 14/09/11 Agree. We all stopped listening a long time ago. The greens will have their carbon tax and we will all punish Labor for it at the next election. Fed up with this government says: 08:24am | 14/09/11 Agreed. There is one clear difference between speeding fines and a carbon tax. When you speed you pay the fine. You cannot put your wages up to pay for it! So if I am a business who gets fined for contributing too much carbon, how do you think I will recoup these costs to make my business profitable? I could just go out of business I guess, but then where would we all be if every 'over' contributor of carbon went out of business?
