New Social Virus Revealed

Friday, May 8th, 2009
Dan:
Eugene, welcome to the program. Nice to see you here, especially knowing that you don’t give interviews too often.
Kaspersky:
Good morning. Yes, I don’t like to give interviews, partially because my English is not very good, but today I have a reason and responsibility to go public. We just published the latest list of social viruses and one of them really dangerous. It is spreading very fast.
Dan:
Social virus? What is it?

Kaspersky:

Leading economists and scientists agree: Seeing that cost, and making it real, will give us new incentives to change the habits that created global warming in the first place.
Kevin:
Let me get this clear. Today we pay say, $1.20 per litre, and with the tax it will be $1.224 per litre? Am I correct?
Carole Taylor:
Yes, for every litre of gas an additional 2.4 cents will be charged as the carbon tax.
Kevin:
And why do you think this is the right thing to do?
