I am generalising, of course, and I am not pointing at anyone on this thread.

I agree so that is why the current carbon pricing opinion polls are certainly not a good guide for what we should actually do. While we have the right to hold them, far too many of these opinions have been forged from suggestions like that made by the subject of this thread, which while very compelling to the average Joe, are actually completely missleading in the dabate.
Reminds me of the late night infomercials about stomach strengtheners that claim to also cause you to lose significant fat off your stomach, the reality of the science is that it will do absolutely zip for fat on your stomach but the average Joe is oblivious to this scientific process so the suggestion makes perfect sense to them
