The Carbon Tax, a necessity for global action

?

How do you expect a government to act so that there is a reduction in the production of greenhouse gases from fossil fuels? This pollution accumulates in our atmosphere with significant repercussions on the climate and the safety of citizens.

?

The governments of every country on our planet can only act on their own legislation. But it is a starting point, and we hope that this money will be invested in truly effective solutions and not in the excesses of the oil industry.

?

It is to be expected that others will approach this restrictive tax, according to some. This approach will be used and implemented internationally; we will have no choice. This will be done when the situation unfortunately becomes a disaster. It will be too late to correct the situation.

?

The right solution is the application of the carbon tax on global trade. The result will be countries that are low emitters would benefit from this economic situation, favouring them and helping them to lift themselves out of poverty. Meanwhile, the big producers of pollutants would be forced to quickly put in place real solutions because the carbon tax applied to their exports will cause them to lose markets. So, this international carbon tax uses the economy as a tool for the survival of all of us.

?

It would be important for the UN or other bodies such as the World Bank to investigate this approach that would help us to truly achieve the Paris objectives and gradually reduce global warming.

For Canada, the poorest provinces will benefit from this windfall if they have the capacity to become carbon neutral.
