A Carbon Copy?

Do we want a carbon copy of the world of today?
"No!" is what a thinking person would say.

Has there ever been a successful solution
For our world to be rid of so much pollution?

We have all seen pollution go to the max,
But will this be stopped with a carbon tax?

Our world has suffered throughout history,
But our future is still a great mystery.

Will the Australian tax prove a good decision?
And will it affect a single emission?

We are all worried about the cost of living.
If the tax fails, we'll be unforgiving.

So many questions are what we face,
But the solution lies with the human race.
