I am not going through the reams of reading on those sites.
Are you prepared to give us a precis first??
wow science really is the new religion/s

So what camps do we have in the end?
A) There is no such thing as global warming.
Aa) It's all a power grab by politicians/the U.N./Socialists
Ab) It's all a money grab by Companies.
Ac) Aa + Ab (perhaps aliens too)
B) There is global warming but it's not human made.
Ba) There is a chance the data is completely wrong, haven't considered "something else we don't know about"
Bb) The data is skewed on purpose
Bc) Science doesn't know what it's talking about.
C) There is global warming but a tax won't stop it.
Ca) They should provide stimulus for eco stuff (what the tax does, $10b)
Cb) Things will just get more expensive and achieve nothing.
D) There is global warming and a carbon tax is a good start
Da) Doesn't do enough (it will rise until 2014(ish))
Db) Seems like a good option.
Don't forget the raise to taxable threshold to $18,000 from $6,000. That's $1800 for everyone.

Maybe a 1920's strongman with red pen eye powers is better than nothing
I want to do my bit to save fuel and thus reduce my carbon foot print.
I've come to the conclusion that the dust on my car is having a detrimental affect on it's aerodynamic performance.
I believe the government should use some of the tax money to subsidize car washes.
Where's the Kool-Aid again, the effect is wearing off.
