How does denying that man-made planet warming is real or rejecting all of climate advocates and governments plans and actions to solve the problem help? It doesn't. And always blaming governments, blaming liberals, crying about taxes and regulations doesn't help either. I don't expect leadership from the right-wing and the libertarians, but please stop obstructing what needs to be done.
Again, not denying climate change ( how many times does need to be mentioned? )
Have you ever read the Communist Manifesto? It sounds good even in modern times, though we know what it means on practice. Practically every major economic reform driven by ideology and started with good intentions resulted in a disaster. The modern example of using questionable economic tools for the sake of the “climate religion” is an example of such experiment. It brings real economic suffering to people in the near term whereas any possible effect in moderating future climate change with it is questionable at the very least.
With all due respect, I think the ideology that you are expressing is dim and myopic. A greener economy brings with it new jobs and new opportunities as we save our planet. Man must adjust and adapt to the changing world. As Bob Dylan wrote in 1964 "The old road is rapidly agin'. Please get out of the new one if you can't lend your hand. For the times they are a-changin' ". True in the 60s. True today.
Redistributing wealth from one sector to another is not creating jobs. For example giving $13 billion of taxpayers money to Volkswagen to build a battery factory is an example of what I am talking about. Someone else worked for that money that they will never see and it will be given to someone else and claim jobs were created. Does not make any sense. But I guess if Socialists understood economics they would not be Socialist. And adding more taxes like the carbon tax is not saving the planet, that is government using an actual problem to make money off people.

Liberals and Progressives, who aggressively advocate for a greener society, are not all Socialists. Most are Capitalists although a few in the US are Democratic Socialists.... but that's a topic for another thread. The carbon tax is one of many measures that encourage the use of renewable, low or non-carbon energy to reduce greenhouse emissions and planet warming. We've been over this so many times it's getting boring repeating ourselves.Redistributing wealth from one sector to another is not creating jobs.

Bombardier's $4 billion, which was collected over 50 years, doesn't even come close
I mentioned before residential and solar and insurance.
16 months is not "over 2 years". Let's all try to be precise and accurate. Now let's get back to discussing climate change. Thank you.
What does that have to do with green companies going bankrupt? My daughter has a degree in environmental studies it does not mean she is a fanatic about climate change but sees job opportunities. Many known companies like Jacobs and Triton are hiring like crazy since the governments put down very strict constraints to oil companies.
