If this isn't Scrappleface, it should be. Does Scrappleface know people are beating his time? Is that fair?

Cantor Fitzgerald is still in business? Weren't all of them wiped out in the 9/11 WTC attack?

You'll like this:
"This trade is a clear indication of our confidence in the political will of European governments to continue to build on the success of the EU emissions trading scheme," said Morgan Stanley's Imtiaz Ahmad on Tuesday."
The EU trading scheme collapsed. The bubble predictably burst, and a week ago the EU reinflated it, so they hope, by imposing more carbon "caps" beyond what Kyoto called for.
Looks like they are betting on Congress to pass "cap and trade" scam. Bush will go along, all Norquist has to tell Rove to tell Bush is that it's a "market solution." That sounds conservative! /sarc

"How many shares does Al Gore own?"
Interestingly, he's buying carbon credits from his own company, a direct seller of cc's, which he may be able to redeem in a future carbon exchange.

Even they call it a trading scheme. They should be calling it a trading scam. There is nothing here to trade folks. There is no product. Buying carbon credits froma country with no industry does not cut pollution it only makes the industrial country you buy them from richer, but the greatest part of the profit will go to the brokers.
Only a retard would fall for this scam

This is absolutey insane! A entire market has been established on bogus carbon credits where C02 only makes up 0.036% (1/3 of 1%) of the Earth's atmosphere. You could double the amount of C02 in the atmosphere to 2/3 of 1% and it is going to do a damn thing to the atmosphere.
And to top it all off! A non-scientist who lives in an electricity gobbling massive home and who buys carbon credits from his own company is pushing this nonsense! And liberals still don't get it -- SUCKERS!

If they would trade these credits openly on the commodities market, they would quickly find their true value.

Any fellow freepers want to join me in my new venture? Inspired by Albore....... Let's set up a "carbon trading website" where liberal bozos can pay $100 a pop (or maybe varied amounts) for us to promise NOT to engage in certain carbon-emitting activities such as flying a private plane for a day. It doesn't matter if it's an activity we never do or wouldn't do at a particular time, as long as we can "say" that we refrained from said carbon-emitting activity the liberals can be happy that they have purchased an "indulgence" for their own sins and we can pocket the money. I'm perfectly willing to share the proceeds with some select fellow freepers. :^)
