So, you still think there's a reason for Cap N Trade?
Now, it seems to be, to my unsophisticated eye, that there are three sources of emissions, the US, the EU, and everyone else. A rough eyeballing of this looks like the US is twice that of the EU but they track fairly well - industrialized nations with advanced technological / energy needs tend to do that.
However, there's a "swamping" effect there too - the "everyone else". The takeaway is that even if we were to reduce our "emissions" by half overnight, it would be for naught.
Think about that as once again, the State loving Progressives once again wish to "remove" trillions of $$ for very little benefit at all. If you take their actions to the logical ending, it is simply just a way to not waste a man-made crisis and enrich the State - and regulate the heck out of everyone else.
It is, of course, what they do - greedy politicians just aching for more and more control over your life. Think I'm kidding - try reading Waxman-Markey or Boxer-Kerry. This is not about reducing emissions - it IS about telling you how to live your life according to THEIR ideas of what is best for you.
Once again - Freedom? Liberty? Oh, of COURSE they say it - but their definition of such is FAR different than yours or mine....
Oh, yeah - almost forgot - I KNOW I used more wood this year than last year:
I can be a bit dim at times, but last time I knew, if GHGs were going up, so should the temps...but last time I looked, global temps are down just over a degree since 1998 - gee, a degree a decade!
IPCC models aren't showing that now, are they.....
