"If that global allowance was distributed according to population levels, many developed nations would face almost immediate carbon bankruptcy.
With 4.6 per cent of global population, the US would receive a 35 billion tonne allowance between now and 2050, which it would use up in around six years at current rates. The European Union's budget would run out in 12 years and China's in 24. "It is clear that the industrialised countries must carry out rapid and comprehensive decarbonisation if they wish to present themselves as credible advocates of global climate protection," concludes the council. The US carbon budget would run out in six years, Europe's in 12 and China's in 24 years
Big emitters like the US would only be able to meet their target by buying unused emissions from poorer nations that have large populations but low per-capita emissions. For example, India and Brazil's allowances would last 88 and 46 years respectively at current rates. That imbalance has benefits, says the council, because the money transferred would help poorer nations to improve their living standards using low-carbon technology such as wind and solar electricity generation."

People will not eventually be fed if the US goals are met.
Anyone that swallows carbon credits has their mouth full of some wicked meat..

STFU - Stop The Federal Usurpation. Federal usurpation of individual state rights continues to erode and to limit the ability of state governments to operate according to their own citizen’s directives. Since, as the original intent of the Constitution directed, the best government is one which governs closer to the people and Federal Usurpation is the greatest threat we face today. As we march towards “Internationalism” we will be destroyed both from within and without.
As many have said, the cap and trade have nothing to do with “glo-bull warming” and everything to do with transferring the wealth of the west to the pockets of despots at the UN.
Thanks for posting this. It’s really useful to see lefties being thoroughly honest about their agenda. And damn scary.
It's also about control of ALL the earths energy supplies by the global governance elitists.
With carbon demonized to be "the" evil pollutant of all times, even though it is the most abundant element on earth, and the entire universe for that matter, on which all life on earth is made from and cannot exist without.
It is NOT a pollutant of any sort, but the sheeple on this planet are just too stupid to know this.
There can never be a "clean" energy source, as all fuels release carbon.
It is imparitive that this sham be exposed and put to death, and those that are trying to foist this evil sham onto the world be tried for this high crime, the worst scam yet that this corrupted, elistist Marxist liberal infested, wanna be world dictators infested, UN has attempted.
India and China produce more carbon than the USA does, ten times over. All’s one has to do is go there and try breathe to prove that.
What a JOKE this is.
Not ten times over ... yet. But, if Obama has his way, soon. At that time, they'll be richer countries, too.
Oh no, they’re going to remove the carbon from my precious proteins and sugars... I’ll defend my carbon with Lead and Copper!
“Carbon: The NEW Gold.”
{People are idiots; human life CANNOT exist in a carbon-free environment.}
Yes. Here is a link to world cement production. China uses coal massively. Look at the Indian output too:

Oh, a piece today on ‘warming’ with good graphs:

ALso, govt has spent $13 trillion on poverty since the sixties with no changes in the US at all.

Naw, hosepipe. You know the expression is that they'd eat sh!t with a rusty spoon.
What complete hogwash.
