Carbon trading is part of the Kyoto Accords and is happening in Europe now. In the United States you can also buy carbon credits to offset your personal generation of CO2. Oddly enough the carbon trading idea in the Kyoto Accords came about because Americans insisted on it when the treaty was negotiated. Carbon credit trading is one of the most painless ways for industries to reduce CO2 emissions because it allows industries that have a tough time cutting emissions by buy emission rights from other industries that can cut emissions more easily. It also creates a financial incentive for companies to cut emissions because those cuts can be sold at a profit. That harnesses the power of the free market to help with global warming.

When people like Al Gore, Green Peace, and the people behind the Kyoto treaty get their way, well actually if that happened, CO2 would just be made an illegal substance and those who created it would be fined/jailed or worse depending on the amount produced.

Hopefully, you are not serious.

The head weather professor at MIT says global warming is nonsense. Hopefully, you recognize a political scam when see one.

If you are being satirical - WELL DONE!
