New Zealanders back new carbon tax on countries not tackling climate change
5 Mar 2008 New Zealanders will support imposing a carbon tax on imports from countries which don’t impose carbon charges on their own emitters. A major new nationwide poll released today, covering 3377 New Zealanders, also shows people support giving this country’s large greenhouse gas emitters special emission credits until 2020 or until their competitors overseas also pay a price on carbon.
