Oh, wait that would be TREES!

Anyone who thinks they can oversee and control this monster has a serious God-delusion. Oh, wait… somebody already told us that.

Brilliant! Keep that list updated.

The major cap-and-trade bill now working its way through Congress is not without precedent. The European Union has had a cap-and- trade regime in place for years. It just hasn’t worked so far.

Begun in 2005, the EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme has raised energy prices with “uncertain” effects on greenhouse gas emissions, according to numerous studies.

Even green groups have been critical. The Natural Resources Defense Council, for example, has called ETS “an example of what not to do.”

Can someone PLEASE tell me what it is supposed to be?

And WHY it is supposed to be what you THINK?

96% of annual CO2 emissions come from natural sources. 4% come from the sum total of mankind’s activity. So if we all commit suicide…every last one of us, after shutting down the lights and power plants and other accoutrements of our presence on the planet…the CO2 “engine” will continue to run at 96% “throttle”.

The above is my favorite conversation stopper with MMGW enthusiasts, because I ask why we are so crazy over CO2 when even killing us all would do virtually nothing. “Explain, please?” In four years, no answers, and they agree with the level and source of emissions above.

This is not about climate change but government control over people by a political class that promotes the best reasons for the basest purposes.

No wonder people are buying guns and ammo so rapidly.

…way across the pond.

It’s vaporware in the most literal sense. In fact, it’s not even based on CO2, but on the absence of CO2. When it collapses, the derivatives will have absolutely no actual value at all, which would make a resultant economic collapse even worse than what we’re experiencing at the moment.

Brilliant. The vaporware business seems to be thriving way across:

Interpol has warned the carbon market will be irresistible to criminal gangs because of the vast amounts of cash to be made. Possible rorts include under-reporting of carbon emissions by firms and bogus carbon offset schemes.

“If someone is rorting it by even 1 per cent a year, we’re talking about many, many millions of dollars,” Mr Torr said.

Yep, and Al Gore the Vaporware King miraculously turned a few million dollars into a hundred million – not that there’s anything wrong with that!

That’s hilarious. Thanks for the laugh. I needed it.

The Chinese already told the Obamakins to take a hike on the “climate change” bullshit. We are like a drunk with a .45 sometimes pointing at the wife sometimes point at our head. Either way we get F**ked.

That is perhaps the best explanation of the Crap and Charade plan that I have ever seen.

A BEE GEE’S SONG! The sad part is I knew it. I am going to commit carboncide now.

A market that had shown a 300-fold price swing in Europe is easy pickings for the most unscrupulous manipulators and speculators. Imagine if such a system existed in the United States, and some super-rich tycoon like George Soros bought huge amounts of cheap carbon credits during a time of slack economic activity, not with the intention of emitting CO2 or planting trees, but of simply cornering the market, and selling them back to emitters during an economic expansion, when energy consumption was higher, for huge profits.

This could enable such tycoons to steal fabulous wealth for themselves from power companies, which would pass along their costs to consumers, whose electricity costs could double or triple.

Cap-and-trade CAN work for REAL pollutants, such as nitrous oxides or sulfur dioxide, where reasonably-priced add-on control technology can reduce emissions by 95% or more, and polluters can make money by installing pollution controls and selling emission rights to others.

But carbon dioxide has NO toxic effect on humans or the environment, except for some slight theoretical warming of the climate centuries from now, which has yet to be proven. It is generated in huge quantities by anything that burns, and there are no cheap ways to capture it, so cap-and-trade on CO2 is essentially a huge tax on energy consumption, and a money-making scheme for governments and rich speculators.

I’ll keep farting loud and proud then. :)

P.S. Please don’t tell my parents I said fart on a blog…. twice.

As long as you use your casual face.

The current economy is based on nothing. Its people playing games with Monopoly money.

It used to be that Stock holders OWNED the company, but now they can get wiped out and the company can still exist, and even be given to someone else (Chrysler/Fiat?).

It used to be if you held someones mortgage it had an intrinsic value because of the property… now they are resold as derivitives and no one seems to own the property itself.

Money is now leveraged up to 25 times through Fractional Lending to “create” more money/debt…

Took awhile to find it, but Banking and finance is right at 8% of GDP… so one out of every 12 dollars spent in America is used to move money around….

Banking used to be a support system needed for the rest of the economy, but now it is an entity in and of itself… and is now DRIVING policy…

I’ll keep farting loud and proud then. :)

No problem, your tooting is the sound of music compared to one of Great Leader’s speeches.

And your butt doesn’t even need a teleprompter, I’ll wager. It knows the words and the hymn.
