Opaline, your claim about CO2 being toxic is very silly. Anything in very large quantities is toxic. You can overdoes with water, oxygen, food, sunlight, but of course like CO2 these things are essential for life. The proportion of CO2 in the air is very low.
butcherboy, the problem with "polluters must pay" is that it implies that anyone producing CO2 is a polluter. So should we stop all life on earth then? No of course not but the effect of a "carbon tax" is to tax everything directly or indirectly. This is the whole new level of theft. Goldman Sachs is front running this whole scam and who is the former CEO of Goldman Sachs in Australia? Turnbull. Producing CO2 is now a taxable offence. They'll make you feel guilty for breathing. Outrageous.
