Understanding the economic impacts of the Lieberman- Warner Climate Security Act1 (L/W bill) can help guide choices on climate change policy(2) In this study, the L/W bill was analyzed under low and high cost cases with respect to a baseline that projects the future in the absence of the bill. The L/W bill would enforce a nationwide cap and trade program for the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and would reduce GHG emissions covered by the bill to 4,992 Million Metric Tons of CO2 (MMTCO2) by 2020 and 3,856 MMTCO2 by 2030....links to reports available

The whole concept of "Cap and Trade" is absolutely outrageous.

Just another step along the lines of BIG BROTHER--as we make the government even bigger, more controlling and more intrusive!! That's just what we need--the government telling us how much we should consume--by setting the baseline for all consumption!!

As if the government doesn't have enough power and control already. /s

Unbelievable.
