Well, I wonder why you say carbon pricing will hurt the economy, but carbon capture and sequestration won't. Why wouldnt it. Its dealing with the same carbon stockpile. And somebody has to pay it. 
And speaking of economic costs...OfftheClock...do you or businesses have any idea of what is heading our way climate change wise if nothing is done. 
The projections...supported by 99 percent of the scientific community...indicate massive increases in temperature making parts of the world uninhabitable, huge rises in sea levels leaving a good share of the worlds populations flooded out, a loss of agricultural land. 
Anyone who has any idea of what we are heading for without any drastic changes in policy, including embracing putting a price on carbon, is dreaming in technicolor. 
The cost of global warming is frightening. That Premier Wall and the Harper Government, and seemingly intelligent but follish environment ministers like the Lamentable Peter Kent....did nothing... is contemptible.
