Bring on carbon tax, says oilsands labour

2014-12-08 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed

Tyee: By the end of this month, Alberta will say whether it plans to make its climate laws stronger. The timing is terrible, according to Alberta Premier Jim Prentice. The recent oil price drop means "it's time for caution." Even a small increase to the modest carbon tax Alberta enacted in 2007 can cause "immediate" impacts to investment and jobs, he warns.

National Geographic: The oil-sands industry in Alberta has a problem: It's capable of producing more oil than it can get to market.
