<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>A carbon tax would be the nickname but it would be indexed against GWP – global warming potential, and different gases have assigned GWP multipliers that the tax would be calculated against. This is of course assuming we’re on a different planet for the talk of a carbon tax to begin with. <BR>
