This article says that NZ had plans in 2005 of being the first country to introduce a (national) carbon tax, in 2005. It then reveals that several countries introduced (seemingly national, as far as the article suggests) carbon taxes in the 1990s. This is inconsistent. Clarification?

I don't know what was intended with the original wording, but since the NZ tax was canned, and it's covered in greater detail later in the article, I've removed the reference to it in the introduction.-gadfium 02:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

I have serious doubts about the impartiality of the section discussing the negative effects of a carbon tax-perhaps it should be labeled as such? To me, it appears that it is trying to sell a position on the issue rather than remaining impartial.Light Dragon 01:34, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
