We produce, farming, and we get money from tourism. If we were to produce more things, this would in itself solve the so called climate change problem. 31% of pollution is caused by international trade. I'm not saying no trade. But I am saying, every time we can produce something, this helps our environment. And why isn't the carbon tax growing our own trees. At least if this was to happen, the money would stay in the country. Or how bout the carbon tax you pay, goes into an account for two years. And if you buy an energy efficient appliance, you can use that money you've put aside. This would actually do something about the problem, and keep the money in the country. The Green's solutions don't solve anything. In fact it raises the cost of living and the cost of business, which makes it more difficult for us to compete with overseas, and that's why we are stuck with dairy and tourism.Warren Tooleynoreply@blogger.com
