also, the "it's all about tax" argument is baseless.Tax is not the best policy instrument to use but when there is market failure (look that up) it is often a position of last resort.
The very idea of taxing carbon is to create a behaviour/market shift away from carbon intensive processes. i.e. If you don't pollute you don't pay the tax. The people least happy about it are the incumbents and old regime businesses e.g. oil companies.
These oil companies spent plenty of their money on lies and BS and these lies get spread by mostly harmless but massively naive and un-scientific suckers via blogs and tabloids.
