Did BC implement it in a revenue neutral way (eg carbon dividend, or by cutting other taxes to match), or was it a net tax increase?

Because it sounds like you actually object to tax hikes in general, not to a specific policy of what actions should be taxed.

Gp appears to dislike policy-driven tax hikes which are ineffective at achieving the goal of the policy. See the difference?

Mea culpa. My brain skipped right over the vague anecdote intended to show that it's ineffective. Obviously actual data are needed.

>The 12.9% decrease in British Columbia’s per capita emissions in 2008-2013 compared to 2000-2007 was three-and-a-half times as pronounced as the 3.7% per capita decline for the rest of Canada.
