This all comes on the heels of a comprehensive study showing that a carbon tax, whose revenues are returned to taxpayers either via rebate checks or by offsetting taxes, would have a negligible impact on the economy! Unchecked global warming, on the other hand will have a catastrophic effect, and so I’m wondering how we will be able to to address this issue once the economy is not going full speed? Just pay later?
To the editor: Vote for Jamie McLeod-Skinner and vote for our future! When our farmers and ranchers have a hopeful future we all benefit from a healthy economy. But action must happen now to minimize the impact of global warming.
