Carbon taxes and carbon trading are terrible drags on economies and so they are drags on standards of living. The rich may pay more in carbon taxes but the middle-class and the poor are the ones who suffer from them. UK has pushed a lot of their subjects into fuel poverty with these schemes and I’m sure it’s worse on the Continent itself.
The UK has yet another reason to withdraw from the European Union. Thank goodness they kept their own currency.
