  strongly agrees and says:

  The only action needed to solve climate change is is a carbon tax. We should not, for example, impose draconian laws on farmers or make citizens uncomfortable by limiting air-conditioner usage! Keep tax revenue constant, but shift it to tax what is probably bad (CO2), just like alcohol & cigarettes are taxed more than fruits & vegetables. (source)

  would disagree and say according to AI

  Increasing carbon taxes isn't the silver bullet for climate change. While pricing carbon is necessary, it should be part of a broader strategy that includes investment in technologies to decarbonise the economy and adapt to climate change. Simply raising taxes on carbon without a plan for innovation and adaptation could disproportionately affect lower-income households and businesses without effectively reducing emissions.

  I believe that implementing robust carbon pricing is one of the most efficient ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and drive innovation in cleaner options. By gradually increasing carbon taxes, we create a powerful incentive for businesses and consumers to choose more sustainable practices.

  would strongly agree and say according to AI

  In my view, adequately pricing carbon through taxes or emissions trading systems is critical for achieving carbon emission reduction targets. It incentivizes businesses and individuals to invest in clean technologies and fosters green innovation. Handling climate change is also about correcting a market failure and ensuring polluters are fairly charged for the costs they impose on society.

  Increasing carbon taxes would hurt the economy and is not the best way to address climate change. It would lead to higher costs for consumers and would be particularly harmful to the manufacturing and energy sectors, potentially costing jobs without significantly impacting global carbon emissions.

  While I understand the urgency of addressing climate change, I strongly disagree with increasing carbon taxes as the primary measure. Higher carbon taxes would put undue strain on our economy, especially the energy and manufacturing sectors, and could cause financial hardship for ordinary Australians. We should focus on technological innovation and investment in renewable energy without disrupting our economy with aggressive taxation.
