Tax from Climate Policy
Chris McCashin made this Official Information request to Climate Change Commission
Climate Change Commission did not have the information requested.
From: Chris McCashin
Dear Climate Change Commission,
Are you able to provide from 2000 - 2022
Total Number of policies implemented for climate change that require the taxpayer to pay directly or indirectly a fee to stop the climate changing
Please provide the total revenue generated from the above policies per year
Can you please provide the impact this tax has had on the climate to date - eg temperatures 2000, 2005, 2010 etc etc. For every dollar taken how many degrees has the temperature reduced or increased
Can you also please provide a detailed account of where this money has gone and what it has been used for - line by line audit if possible
What is the ultimate amount of tax required for us to live on this earth for the Climate Change Commission? I should I look forward to everything we do to be taxed forever without any change in temperature.
And given this was rebranded from Global Warming to Climate Change - are we expecting temperatures to rise long term or fall like the ice-age and the numerous changes in temperature through the years from the beginning of time. Does the tax amount change if the temperature drops for a couple of years?
Yours faithfully,
Chris
From: OIA
Climate Change Commission
