It was a foolish and…

It was a foolish and politically expedient choice to cancel and rescind all the climate actions of the previous government and as a wellinformed person on climate change I ask you to reconsider.
Carbon tax/cap and trade plans have been tried in 35 different jurisdictions around the world. According to Carbon Markets expert at NORI.com 34 have not worked. Why? because of government expediency: changing the rules mid course, issuing too many allowances, interferring with the market price, are the main reasons.
But No price on carbon is worse. Way worse.
Pls consider that new science is being published weekly on the looming realtime risks of climate disruption and be forthright: based on science we the government have to change course, take climate change seriously and act decisively.
oYou don't likely \need source URLs about this week's IPCC 1.5Degree report but here it is: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4556564-Summary-for-Policy-Make…
Two quotes:
D2.5. Public acceptability can enable or inhibit the implementation of policy to limit global
warming to 1.5°C and to adapt to the consequences, and depends on the evaluation and
distribution of expected policy consequences and perceived fairness of decision procedures.

D2.6. Education, information and feedback, and community approaches that rely on Indigenous and local knowledge, when combined with the policies mentioned in D2.3 and tailored to motivations and circumstances of specific actors and contexts, can accelerate the wide scale behaviour changes assumed in 1.5°C-consistent pathways to adapt to and limit global warming to 1.5°C (high confidence).

And here is commentary: "A massive, immediate transformation in the way the world’s population generates energy, uses transportation and grows food will be required to limit the global temperature rise to 1.5C and the forthcoming analysis is set to lay bare how remote this possibility is."
