“Once you price CO2 and put a price on it, you find, as you would with any other product, it tends to be rationed. We as a people on this planet have lived under the false concept that air and water were free. And we’ve learned with a planet of 7 billion people, that we have to ration these precious goods. And the good old price system is the best way to do it.”

Richard Sandor, father of the carbon market.

I've long held the belief that the next world war won't pit countries against each other, but rather citizens of the world against governments of the world. The control of water and air will be a part of this.
