The Huge Mistake: Why cap and trade would be bad for the environment and the economy

[khantonk]

yes climate change can harm our economy.

[louisacales]

Hey! great vid! Hope to find more uploads from you!

[Trinx350]

Hey did you know that there are Robotic Astroturf Libertarians?

[freereason]

There is No Crisis!  Climate change happens.

[dukee155]

@freereason still the thing is that pollution does happen it lowers air quality and causes lung cancer

[CaptainBuckSnort]

Cap and trade is just another buzzword phase, in a long line of fear mongering,

40 years ago they predicted a New Ice Age

30 years ago they predicted we would run out of oil in twenty years.

20 years ago they were predicting a global pandemic of Ebola

10 years ago they predicted that all the computers would crash, planes would fall from the sky, money would disapeare from bank accounts, it was called Y2K.

Last year it was the H1N1 virus that was going to kill millions.

BULLS?IT

[KingKalifor]

Just say Global Warming is the big rip off!! This is what the EPA is afraid of, these two are saying no to cap and trade but they are reproposing the cap and trade bill.

Hacked E-Mail Is New Fodder for Climate Dispute

[lord2fli]

The idiot liberals wouldn't be in a position to screw things up if we hadn't spent the last eight years refusing to acknowledge climate change at all. I'd like to welcome the nutty conservatives to the environmental bandwagon (one that started in the early 90s when all of this could have been prevented). I'm glad you guys hate Obama and the opposing team so much because if that's what it takes for you FauxNews loyalists to take action then so be it.

[arslp]

The POTUS is the greatest threat to national security.

[amemi21]

It is all a lie!!!!

[alohatwou]

For all those idiots who voted for O, and those who voted because they saw hope in him, you got what u wanted...change! Now, the time has come for us to get REAL CHANGE and vote these bums and the out of control, out of touch congress and senate who fail to listen to the majority OUT OF OFFICE. We can still save this country, but it will take a 180 and fiscal responsibility and INTELLIGENT people, not the socialists in control now who want to follow the useless Euros and the more useless UN!

[49indians]

Kudos to stevekirsch32..

I just heard the usurper POTUS and his goons have forced the two attorneys here to remove their post at risk of 'disciplinary action'..

That reported on FOXNEWS..

[RavensFan2812]

It's just another example of liberal democratic lies being exposed for what they are.....money makers for those in government. STOP THIS CRAP NOW!!!! Stop kissing O's butt.

[nevaseenamancry]

Impeach Barry Soetoro. ; )

[alohatwou]

I cant wait until 20 or 30 yearsdown the road when America is bankrupt from bloated fed spending and the dollar is basically worthless, countries like Brazil, India and China will be exporting their work to the "cheap labor" Americans who do great work at a great bargain employment hourly rate. Or maybe I'm just cynical that since the Reds didn't listen to Gore, the Dems, and O and didn't buy into "cap and trade" and "global warming". Look at the stupendous modern cities they now have! USAout

[silentonall]

20 or 30 years down the road? Better to try 2 or 3 years down the road.

[alohatwou]

and freaking out for no real good reason!! When I worked in Germany in the late 90s, on a military base, our introduction to Germany was a German coming up and banging on our rental car that my wife was sitting in wating for me (it happened to be about 20 deg F outside!) and yelling at my wife to "turn off the car". They were easily deceived by Hitler, and the saga continues to this day. They can't seem to think for themselves... poor poor Europeans! Let's not go down that same route!!

[nevaseenamancry]

I have to admit I had to look up what EU ETS meant. I knew what EU was but not ETS. So.. this Cap and Trade stuff is bigger than I thought.

I heard on the radio if you leave your car idling while in traffic, some cities can fine you. Everybody is freaking out about emissions.

[alohatwou]

Yeah, and good ol' lying dem/lawyer Al Gore I'm sure is about to make a bundle on his 10s of millions he already has, promoting the "BigLie of Global Warming" in his flawed movie. He won't even stop eating meat when it'sbeen proved carbon emissions from cows/animals far exceeds that from cars and industry. We're heding towards "New World Order" and the pawns are Pelosi, O, and the other cronies is Congress elite and Senate. Join the Teapartiers and VOTE FOR REAL CHANGE (in all of them!)

[nevaseenamancry]

That makes sense. Good point. I watched a documentary about electric cars and there was a battery that would last 300 miles. Guess what happened? An oil company bought it. (The cars were leased to people, taken back and destroyed.)

[alohatwou]

This video itself is a "Huge Mistake". Guess I could tell right at the start when they said they have the ultimate respect for president and congress. !!!!!!! Their premise is still "global warming" caused by carbon emissions. Read other comments below on the false validity of that! Rebates for increased costs? What insanity. I'm a long term fed engineer that am amazed at the hoodwinking taking place by our left wing socialist congress & leader. 1 mistake (thisvideo) doesn't blot another.

[nevaseenamancry]

Would carbon fees with rebates really work?

In this video are they saying that by gradually raising the cost of fossil fuels that we will someday see cheaper green energy? That doesn't sound right.

If someone could clarify this I'd appreciate it.

[zzw35]

Global warming is a myth.There is no scientific evidence that humans cause global warming.Or that carbon causes warming for that matter.The ocean emits 80 giga tons of carbon yearly,humans emit 9 giga tons.The Krakatoa volcanic eruption emitted more carbon in 72 hour than in the history of mankind. There is more evidence that the sun causes natural fluctuations in temp throughout history long before man was a factor.Carbon is a life gas,without it we would not exist.Study the true facts !!

[nevaseenamancry]

This is true.

I always thought Green Energy was a scam, but are the people in this video creating one of their own? If the cost of uncontrolled fossil fuels rises won't we just get taxed more?

[britishjohn04]

The same fraudulent games that are played with our money supply at the federal reserve and the government, seem to be being played here too. Why am I not surprised.

[OldKeyr]

Fox News has just reported that the EPA and the Obama Administration had demand that their video on You Tube be removed! This is even after they obtained permission from the EPA. What Open Administration? You may wish to download this video and repost it if they are forced to remove it!

[hechosdcolon]

these video got big news

[creamphuff]

hahaha I want to see you get China to agree to carbon fees with rebates!

But really cap and trade is bad. I agree.

[kristinaoliver]

Thanks for speaking out! If more government employees and private citizens would step forward like you have, maybe we could get this country back on track. I hope this message doesn't put your careers at risk.

[roscoe85cj]

Man-caused global warming is BUNK to begin with ... this video doesn't address that simple fact. .. now we can get to the meat of the issue and ask why anyone would believe anything an "attorney" would tell them in the first place ... lawyers are bad enough in private practice, much less working their entire lives for a govt. agency who's in bed with whack-o environmentalists and looney left legislators.

[GulfCoastSurge]

This video is being forced to be pulled by legal litigation. (Fox news stated) Please copy and hurry and re-post.

[patiencepays]

Just by going by these mindless pro fossil fuel industry posts ...

I see the old tabacco misinformation campaigne has been given a new lease on their evilness by the fossil fuel industry in an attempt to kill any meaningful discusion on the climate change problem.

How do you psycopaths sleep at night?

[MrRubicon420]

Go purchase a dictionary.

[guitarspook1]

I sleep with my fossil fuel heater on to high and understand the ins and outs of how government works. "Cap and Trade" will destroy this nation's economy and be an abysmal failure. What we "Cap" in production China and India will make up for. If only you understood economics. I suppose your professors at Hug A Tree Karl Marx University forgot to teach you that.

[herr0167]

I sleep well, with my heat on that is. See I live in Minnesota where we did not have a summer this year and we had one of the coldest Octobers on record. As for the evilness of the tobacco industry, hmmm. How much of those huge settlements went to the community and how much to the lawyers? So if you really want to stop climate change put a thermostat on the sun and stop all those sun flares. PS Al Gore loves you

[4gottenhistory]

Although, I do not whole heartedly support the solution in the video, I understand it is the most logical, simplest and most cost effective way. Cap & Trade preys on "American Guilt". That somehow Americans are evil and need to make atonement. By and large, we are a kind and generous people. But, yes, there are despicable people in the mix. And they stand to profit hugely by this flawed Cap & Trade scheme. Pollution can be reduced thru technology not by playing "3 card monty".

[MotoMan5280]

These poor naive EPA lawyers don't have a clue. Cap and trade is not a misguided idea to save the planet. Cap and Trade, Health Care Reform, Hate Crimes laws, bailouts, the stimulus package, etc. are about empowering government and crushing individual liberty. Only misguided fools think that any of these things are about saving this country. Those pushing the agenda know full well that these measure will centralize all power in the hands of the state. That's the plan.

[wingsuitfreak]

They are already marginalized just by putting out this video. Had they gone farther, they would have been completely conspired against in order to laugh them into silence.

[TheDaweTube]

Two Smart People. Wish this info was on the nightly news. Unfortunately most would not understand it, wouldn't spend 10 minutes to listen to it, and It will never make it onto the mainstream media lines.

[americircus]

Thank you for taking the time to help educate people on Cap & Trade....

[joyfulgirl12]

Thanks for sharing the truth!

[ace8842]

The EPA supposedly allows freedom of speech yet these two were ordered to take this video down. Fortunately, other people had gotten a hold of it by then. Cap and trade helps special interest groups and hurts the poor...
