Let Them Eat Carbon – Rebuttal to Ecofiscal Commission’s report “Clearing the Air”

In early April, 2018, Ecofiscal Commission issued a report entitled “Clearing the Air: How Carbon Pricing Helps Canada Fight Climate Change.” They claim that a price on carbon dioxide will improve the economy and the environment. Friends of Science Society bring evidence and facts from several jurisdictions to show the opposite is true, especially in Canada which is a vast country, challenged by extreme winter temperatures and sparse population, unlike the highly populated places in Europe used by Ecofiscal as examples of ‘success.’
