That's a good point.
I read somewhere that Canada's total greenhouse gas emissions make up 1.6% of the world emissions. Vehicle emissions are maybe 1/3 of that, and BC's is smaller still.
So what is going to be the economic result to our country from the massive costs of all this for the fraction of a percent of greenhouse gas emissions we produce?
I dunno, can't help but think it's all pretty meaningless unless we can convince those countries with the big populations and no environmental protections to speak of to follow suit, otherwise we're just penalizing ourselves for nothing.
