>2015 per capita carbon dioxide emissions from fuel combustion (metric tons)

United States 15.53
India 1.58
Russia 10.19
Japan 8.99

>starting with a $50 per ton carbon tax and increasing it by 5 percent per year would lead to a 63 percent reduction in total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions by 2050, Reilly says. “So that’s in line with what people are talking about, which is needing a 50 percent reduction by 2050, globally,” he says, “and getting to net zero beyond that.”

THEREFORE

United States $776.50
India $79
Russia $509.50
Japan $449.50

This is an average price per capita, not the price YOU would necessarily pay. Whats the objection now?

>The average American consumes approximately 500 gallons (1892 L) of motor gasoline per year, whereas the average Canadian consumes approximately 310 gallons (1173 L)

Think about it- do YOU burn 500 gallons in a personal vehicle per year?

If not, why are you allowing cheapskates to ruin your climate so they can drive their SUV around, getting fatter every day?

Seriously you have to be an idiot to believe Carbon Tax would wreck people's lives. Those people DO NOT have lives, believe me. They're parasites. Carbon tax is the cure.
