I've got a pin-up published at the Science Creative Quarterly today (you can download the pdf at the link).
At its heart, this flowchart is really a comparison of the carbon tax, cap and trade, and the Conservative's somewhat disappointing Clean Air Act (or now the equally weak "Turning the Corner" plan). You can get a clearer write up of this at the following great piece published at UBC reports.

Carbon taxes: not pretty - but I agree in that they are the crucial first step to widespread buy in from the population as a whole.
That's the main problem with cap and trade policies. It's not just big polluters who are part of the problem (and a good carbon tax penalizes them in accordance to the amount of pollution they put out). As well, cap and trade rules are just so damn complicated. This is an invitation to it falling down the way side.
Yeah, Harper is the new Bush - or rather the old Bush. Either way, he's terrible on the environmental side of things.
CTV, CBC and Globe And Mail will make sure there is no serious public discussion on Climate Change until after the election.
You will not win. Why do you try?
Yep, voting Green because of the science.
During our debate, I thought May was the only one at the table with facts and references, but of course the media outlets just kept re-playing Layton's zingers. It actually lowered the level of discourse.
I don't mind a good zinger, but Layton criticizing Harper over a sweater in an ad is lame. May saying "where is it?" about Harper's platform in final remarks was gold.
