A carbon tax, which reimburses a huge slice of the population for their increased power costs, does nothing to change these peoples consumption habits.

If global warming is due to people, then we are all responsible, regardless of our income level and we should all contribute to fixing the problem. Thats the only way to get the majority on board with reduction of CO2.

I would happily support a carbon tax that reimbursed NOONE, and instead poured all that money into technologies that addressed the problem.

If you're at all interested, you should check out the documentary Cool It (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1694015/). The presenter doesnt argue one way or the other who or what is causing climate change. Instead, he focusses on what can be done to reverse the change. There's already loads of research/development being done in this area, but it is very poorly funded, compared to the paper-pushing we're doing at the moment that is achieving nothing.
