Excerpted from article:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The carbon tax was a litmus test for our collective ability to sort fact from fiction and put the interests of future generations ahead of our own. On both counts, we have failed miserably. The inevitable demise of the carbon tax is proof that the best ideas don\u2019t automatically win the day, and truth is no defence against weaponized deceit. It\u2019s also a victory for a kind of political nihilism that is ascendant across the Western world right now, one that doesn\u2019t bode well for our ability to meet or manage the challenges that surely lie ahead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
