i've stated this more than once: i'll gladly take the carbon rebates, and even support the plan as a redistribution scheme, but i'm skeptical about the actual efficacy of pigovian tax schemes and don't expect to be able to demonstrate much of any causal connection between the taxes and any coincidental reductions, if there even are any coincidental reductions; don't be surprised if emissions go up.

so, i'm going to support the scheme as a redistribution mechanism.

but, i still think we need more concrete actions on emissions reductions.
