Are they donating?
Can someone explain how a cap and trade system works, and why it is a good system?
Under these carbon credit systems, isn’t it just a feel good thing? Because those who buy carbon credits are still producing too much pollution, right? They simply get to feel good about “fighting global warming”? Is that how it works?
What gets me about that is that those producing too much carbon still get to produce the pollution. How does paying somebody else for a carbon credit reduce the pollution they are so worried about?

Moderates? Oh Lord no. They’re the courted ones, they’re not expected to pay doodley squat. Us trusty conservatives are expected to pony up. Well they can wait with their outstretched hands until they fill up with cobwebs, because the traitorous GOP is not getting ONE thin dime from me. Not ONE.
