Global warming? Right, the same guy that invented the internet discovered that. There are way too many respected scientists that say it's hogwash, and none with any proof that it is indeed a problem. The government (both sides) uses fear as a tool. Do you "really" beleive that Co2 is a pollutant?

Consensus in the scientific community runs great than 95 to 1, you need a better argument.

U.S. National Academy of Sciences not good enough for you?

Even the Bush Boy White House had to admit they are, "the gold standard of objective scientific assessment."

Cap and Trade is a sham. It has nothing to do with protecting the environment, but instead is a tool for more government regulation, a hidden tax, and the means for it's supporters to enrich themselves at our expense. It effectively creates a new form of currency.

The problem is that it was not a tax. The rights were to be auctioned off to raise money to fix health care, then the lobbyists got in there and they gave away the rights. I swear Congress could screw up the Lord's Prayer.
