The Gerry chronicles: carbon tax & bad economics
The every-angry Gerry Jackson has sparked another debate about a carbon tax, disapprovingly citing my monograph on the topic (pdf) and declaring that a carbon tax will “drastically slash living standards”.
It is unclear whether Gerry is aware that electricity and petrol are already taxed.
In the past few days Gerry has written three articles on the topic, and his lap-dogs (including GMB) have also penned thousands of words in his defence. In particular, there is one obsessed nutter who writes here, here, here and here. As I have been traveling I have been limited to a few quick comments. Until now. Be warned… this is a long post.
