To the contrary, the Russian have EVERY reason to expose this. Along with Saudi Arabia, they are one of the largest producers and exporters of oil and gas. Which, in a carbon credit regime, would be made much more costly -- and, thus, less in demand.

true,
but in the grand scheme and long haul, Russia would gain power if we were subverted in this game and lost power. In the end they can control the prices. The russians tend to think long term, i think in the end game, they would e more powerful and have less of a threat by us to keep them in line.
I still think that it would hurt us more than them, and that is all they care about.
