This whole thing should be a Comedy Central joke. A caricature of unrealistic political programs perhaps. But no is actually being proposed by grown men in positions of great responsibility! For Kerry it is his norm, but I expected better from Lieberman! They should be thrown into jail for being public frauds living off of taxpayer money!

The $10 Trillion Climate Fraud (Cap-And-Trade and CCX)
Cap-And-Trade: While senators froth over Goldman Sachs and derivatives, a
climate trading scheme being run out of the Chicago Climate Exchange would
make Bernie Madoff blush. Its trail leads to the White House.”
“Fannie Mae Chief Executive Officer Franklin Raines, two of his top underlings and select
individuals in the "green" movement were inventing a patented system to trade residential carbon credits.
Patent No. 6904336 was approved by the U.S. Patent and Trade Office on Nov. 7, 2006 --
the day after Democrats took control of Congress. Former Sen. John Sununu, R-N.H.,
criticized the award at the time, pointing out that it had "nothing to do with Fannie Mae's charter, nothing to do with making mortgages more affordable."
"It wasn't about mortgages. It was about greenbacks. The patent, which Fannie Mae confirmed it still owns with Cantor Fitzgerald subsidiary CO2e.com, gives the mortgage giant a lock on the fledgling carbon trading market, thus also giving it a major financial stake in the success of cap-and-trade legislation."
“Here comes the next bubble -- carbon trading
Forget CDOs and other inventions of the great credit bubble. That’s all old hat.
Investment bankers are moving on to an area of securities trading that is potentially even
more lucrative, and what’s more, even has a social value – saving the planet.
….According to Mr Schapiro, carbon trading is now the fastest growing commodities
market on earth. Since Kyoto signatories bought in to the cap and trade concept in 2005,
there have been more than $300bn carbon transactions, prompting several investment
banks, including Goldman Sachs and Barclays, to set up their own carbon trading desks.
But that’s just the start. If President Obama and his supporters can institute a cap-and-
trade system in the United States – and that’s a big if for this increasingly marooned
presidency – demand could explode into a $2 to $3 trillion market.
And here’s the great thing about it. Unlike traditional commodities markets, which will
eventually involve delivery to someone in physical form, the carbon market is based on
lack of delivery of an invisible substance to no-one. Since the market revolves around
creating carbon credits, or finding carbon reduction projects whose benefits can then be
sold to those with a surplus of emissions, it is entirely intangible.
“Carbon developers”, many of them employed by large multinationals, travel the world
in search of carbon reduction projects to sell, while firms of carbon accountants have been
established to verify on the United Nations’ behalf that those reductions are real.
The whole thing, though well intentioned, looks wide open to abuse and scams. “

John Kerry and Joseph Lieberman
Two clueless morons

In other words, we would need to find an underground location (or locations) able to swallow a volume equal to the contents of 41 oil supertankers each day, 365 days a year. I don't know what to say anymore. These are all schemes to make some people a ton of money - all the while, the same people, are shouting about redistribution of wealth.

Casual observers with a modicum of science education have to be scratching their collective heads about this fuss over carbon.
Is carbon a hazard? No. It's an essential component of life here on planet Earth. We are 'carbon based lifeforms' and the plant life we depend upon require carbon dioxide for us all to live. Why would we want less? How stupid is that?
Does carbon cause the planet to warm? I learned about the green house effect in grade school, but I've since learned that water vapor is the real mover and shaker in the world of green house gases. Carbon dioxide is a tiny percentage of our atmosphere and it's a stretch to give it such prominence.
Besides, we have more than enough data showing that temperature leads carbon dioxide concentration. So, if we use the theory the global warmers are using, does that mean that temperature increase 'causes' carbon dioxide increase? And, if we need carbon dioxide to live, lets warm things up!
Bottom line? Cap and trade is another way for politicians to tax the stupid with the added benefit of having the stupid demand that politicians take their money. Sweet deal.
