so, yes - we need serious climate change policies.

but, a carbon tax on exports and fuel is just a way to change the channel, and one that could potentially harm a manufacturing-based economy, while just increasing reliance on imports.

the unfortunate thing is that your average neo-liberal won't find much to criticize in a plan that is more or less designed to export jobs as a cheap pr stunt. if imports are cheaper, it's good for consumers, right?
