  • What will save the Earth? Decapitation!!! Our mother must be fed with the blood of the corrupt every twenty years! Otherwise disaster will smite all of us!

  • The politicians that want this bill passed are the very ones that fly around in private planes.. Al gore is the biggest hypocrite on the planet! Global warming is a joke! 25 years ago they were talking about the next ice age...

  • So, if cap and trade isn't the solution, exactly what are you proposing? Dumbass conservatives. You don't care about the environment ONE BIT. I don't see you proposing a better solution.

  • @musicluffler The better solution is to have the courage to do nothing, because there is no problem.

  • @oomblikkies I find it sad that you don't think there's a problem. I'm curious to see your reasoning behind thinking there isn't one.

  • @musicluffler Solution for what? Global warming is a haux. You are an idiot for signing on to it... 25 years ago the left was talking about global cooling...

  • @imax1971 since you still failed to give me any reasoning behind why it's not a problem/why it's a HOAX (by the way, you look a bit more idiotic than me for not knowing how to spell), i'm still assuming you have nothing to justify your claims except brainwashing.

  • @musicluffler Taxing Carbon emissions is another way for our government to increase it's revenue, but will do little, if anything, to prevent anthropogenic influence that makes the weather and climate, THE FUCKING OCEAN!!!.

  • @imax1971Contrary to what you've just expressed, cap and trade clearly IS one of the most effective solutions proposed for global warming because it is economically based. By associating environmental costs (which we currently don't give thought to) with economic costs (which, given the economy's downturn, we care about ALOT), it will effectively reduce both. It lowers taxes for companies that go green and creates new markets, taking polluters out of business and thereby reducing CO2 emissions.

  • @musicluffler You first need to understand what effects the climate and weather before posting such ridiculous comments. You people claim C02 has been on the rise causing warming, yet when you take a look at the historical temp data in any state or country there is NO pattern! You do realize that 25 years ago politicians where talking about global cooling, right? However, I'll play along. How does a company retrofit it's factory, office building or any part of it's infrastructure to "go green"?

  • @musicluffler Mulatto presidint was a boy age 8 to 11 lived in Kenya in a trailer park. His daddy up and run off with another white women so Gramma takes him in. He Very Smart Man smarter than you and Cap'n'Trade to make the energy prices "skyrocket'. Its good for gas to be $5 or more because polar bears in China have a good summer. He makes alot of SocialJustice & a Good Energy Policy. He gave communist presidint in Brazil $30billion for deepwater drill in Gulf of Mexico so we buy from them. 

  • @imax1971

    In the 70s, They said there'd be an Ice Age

  • @jffryh Please, nice propaganda film...

  • wake up assholes and idiots, global warming is BS and so is a tax on CO2. THERES NO LINK. Washington needs to stay in washington, and out of my wallet.

  • "Corporate giants, many of whom are directly tied in with big oil, and central banks who, far from bankrolling climate change skeptics, are directly invested in the scam of human-induced global warming.

    Accusations leveled against global warming skeptics is that they are on the payroll of transnational oil companies, when in fact the opposite is true, oil companies are amongst the biggest promoters of climate change propaganda, emphasized recently by Exxon Mobil's call for a global carbon tax."

  • The global warming crisis is the giggest scientific fraud of all time, and cap and tax the biggest case of economic masochism in history. Typical liberal mindlessness.

    Most of the people on the street interviewed about cap and tax are examples of the empty-headed Progressivism. They have no understanding of the underlying science, the real economic trade-offs, or the degree to which this issue has been politicized by the far left and environmental extremists, including the buffoon Al Gore.

  • Let's be honest? Cap and Trade will decrease pollution as far as what the US puts out. It will do so by makeing most things unafforable to the poor and lower middled class where they will not buy as much and use as much fuel/ energy. The true middle class and up will not experience much of a change in lifestyle at all.....and not much will change overall anyway because all the companies that move to China and abroad will just shoot carbon out over there instead.

    Am I wrong? Please share.

  • GEEZE - WILL YOU PEOPLE QUIT WATCHING JUNK AND START READING? CoP-15 TREATY IS THERE FOR THE READING - SO IS THE KERRY/LIEBERMAN/GRAHAM BILL!!! THE KERRY BILL HAS 6 NAMES JUST TO FOOL YOU! DANG - READ THESE ABOMINATIONS! IS IT BAD? YES! A MILLION TIMES -YES! BUT YOU WON'T KNOW WHY BECAUSE YOU"RE TOO STUPID OR LAZY OR BOTH TO GO READ THEM - READ. OH - AND CoP-16 IS 3 MONTHS AWAY IN CANCUN, BUT THEY WON'T TELL YOU WHAT'S IN IT THIS TIME - THEY'VE ALREADY STATED THAT! GOOD RUK...

  • no. cap and trade will increase pollution. stupid ass idea

  • It would be a service to your viewers and help us appreciate their real interests if we knew who these energy experts and economists work for. I suspect this is carefully concealed.

  • hah, cap and trade will help you live 5 years longer!!! ok, please tell me how making life so expensive and stressful, that you can NEVER retire, so basically you work until you die, how on gods green earth is that going to help you "live longer" or improve your quality of life. Its amazing at just HOW stupid and gullible americans have become, just tack some nonsense onto an emotional subject and the idiots will buy it hook line and sinker, wake up people, its a scam for power..

  • AL GORE is a RAPIST-he raped a massage therapist in NY; AL GORE views himself as ROMAN Cesar Tiberius-whom decried in 14 BC"The whole world shall pay ME taxes or be killed!" AL GORE-wants to carbon CAP & TAX the whole world so he can steal $Billions. AL GORE has three $8 Million house like King Tiberius whom had a palace in ROME,palace in Constantinople,& palace in Antioch. ALL HAIL EMPEROR AL GORE-KING of RAPE! WHY did Tipper Leave you?

  • I am not for crap and tax. If I was, this video would not have changed my mind. I think it was too generic. You need to be more specific. You are talking to people who believe if it doesn't effect their life directly, it doesn't matter to them. They are the ME generation. Show them losing their internet, video games, cell phones and football. They might pay attention. You need to talk to the people who haven't actually paid bills yet.

  • I am not sure cap and trade will, but doing NOTHING like the GOP suggests will make the ultra rich, richer and FARTHER away from the mess they create.

  • It looks llike UN is about to try the Oil Spill tax and GLobal Bank Saftey tax angle for getting real governmental taxation and regulation powers being that they are now having credibility problems with IPCC's "Experts" faulty work

    This means the Environuts are about to be left high and dry on "Green Reform"

  • It's rather sad, that people are seriously willing to fight the climate, something which has been changing since the creation of the earth. Unbelievable. This clearly shows how brainwashed most people are through this fucking corrupt and controlled media worldwide.

  • It's gonna cut the throat of the 2nd and 3rd world and the mittle class of the 1. world.

    But guess who would make a big profit ;)

  • 2:00 when you cite thousantds of scientists well.. give a few names... what exact peer reviewed findings are in question?

    point to actual material we can check out of ruck of! dont treat sciense like religion something you can just bully arround untill you get your interpretation through..

    sciense works by peer review to eliminate bad hypotasies.. global warming is by no means as securely establieshed like many other hypoaties and theories but its a virtual sertinty now

  • Heat isint "Stored" in a "magical blanket" it is used up as it converts into the kenetic energy that drives the ocean currents andwinds and powers the Evaporation/precipitation cycle that creates rain

    watch?v=ajQ3hm5JidU&feature

    As far as "Peer Review" that is before Publication. Next step is Verification,Testability, Falsifiability then Conclusion

    watch?v=zcavPAFiG14&feature

  • Where are the "Climate Experts" as far as the Scientific Method?

    They passed "Peer review" of their Hypothsis of AGW using data avilible as the Observance and basis for the Hypothesis using Computer Simulations as a means of Predicting what should happen next IF THE HYPOTHSIS IS PROVEN A FACT

    Now they launched Inbuki and CanX-2 as want funding to gather more data to VERIFY real world CO2concentration so they can TEST the real world against the COmputer simulations

  • 1:40 It causes the polar ice cap problems you git!

    but you dont give a shit if the netherlands sink under the sea or new orleans.. or denmark... or any other lower land mass...

    (actualy i would be all for denamark and the neatherlands sinking under the seam myself but thats not the point here)

    1:56 far from universal.... ya conservatives ahve a very odd view of what a scientific consensus is.. i mena they question evolution.. even though its survived for a 100+ years of peer review..

  • @ZerqTM

    Sorry dude, but first of all you should be concerned more about your "liberties" which were blown away through the lisbon treaty. If the pols were to melt, erm.. what do you think you could da against it? Both "theories" which you take for totally correct are nothing but bullocks. mainstream-science is far away from reality. You worry about what could be in 50 years while all your civil rights will be gone in less than 5.

  • The earth is always changing ..

    Dam you liberals you people make me sick.

    All your liberal ideas suck donkey balls.

  • Dr Miskolczi showed that the solution to a differential equation for the greenhouse effect developed in 1922 by Arthur Milne, wrongly assumed an infinitely thick atmosphere. In re-solving this equation a new term and also a new law of physics have been proposed setting an upper limit to the greenhouse effect. Dr Miskolczis theory indicates that any warming from elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide will eventually be offset by a change in atmospheric moisture content.

  • What happened to planting trees?

  • For a great expose of the Cap & Trade, which Gore & his Goldman Sachs shysters are set up to cash in on

    Input youtube

    "The Huge Mistake Climate Change Solutions 2009"

    Help stop the Carbon tax fraud, call your Government Rep & say "NO" to Cap & Trade!

    Also tell them you want a congressional/criminal investigation of GW as it is a racketeering operation

  • The EU already installed a cab™ board many years ago. The price you can look under:

    eex[dot]com/en/

    under "Emission Rights"

  • The reason because compagnies leave the US is because the USD is overwheighted.

  • No, a coming collapse of currency would make US exports cheaper. When that happens, the US would be exactly where you would want to set up shop.

    Think, duh!

  • There is nothing to buy. The US dont have production

  • You should read the UN report. The US is still the global manufacturing king...we are still twice as large as China.

    Think, duh!

  • To your Question: Will it save the Earth?

    Answer YES.

  • NO it won't. It'll mean higher energy cost, jobs flying out of the U.S. to China, India or any other country that doesn't have Cap & Trade imposed on them. Local electric companies say 7% to 135% higher electric rates.

    When energy prices go up people have less money to spend on other things. How big of a recession are you conferable with?

  • That is the price of the polusion. You kill the place of Livinf from billions. The USA have a double to tripple higher CO2 polusion per capita than the EU.

  • CO2 is not a pollutant.

  • Of course it is. It raise the temparature and make deserts and many other bad things.

    The only reason that many US-Citicons dont accapt that is because they dont want to take respandability for their actions.

  • That's because the people in the EU are too lazy and socialistic to actually produce anything. If you count the wars Europe has started and had to be rescued from, and the resultant pollution, I'm sure they're right up there.

  • The EU produce export more products than the USA. The US only print Dollars and make some movies. The USA and not the EU is the deindustrilized Country.

  • Really?

    Then why when Congress pass the "Biofuel iniative" in 2007 during the AL Gore Movie Frenzy which included that Idiotic tax hike on Gas,disel,oil,to "encourage people to travel less" causing the Economic meltdown from travel industry workers being laid off,then retailo workers being laid off along with food and services coming super expensive causing people to choose between eating or paying their mortgage causing Wall street/financial "Meltdown" did world economy "meltdown" too?

  • Do you know why the US dont export cars to the EU, but the EU export cars to the US? Because the gasoline in the EU is expensive. The cars in the EU need less fuel, and the US-Citisons can use them. But drive a US-Car in the EU is expensive, nobody can offer it. (1 gallon: 7,23 USD).

    The expensive gas means

    mor car exports

    less car imports from usa

    AND LESS FUEL IMPORTS

    It makes our economy strong, and give us the power to build up an good infrastructure.

  • Answer: No

    Math is your enemy. Every 30 years, the population of the globe doubles.

    Even if you cut emissions by 75%, it only buys you like 23 years of time. Then you are back in the same ditch as before. Then what do you do? Stop breathing?

  • First they need to actually Prove that Humans make any part of the CO2 rise as a Corolation is Tempature rise and in Co2 rise does not prove humans make co2 by burning "fossil fuels"

    NO theory needed, the real scientists launched CanX-2 from Canada in November 2008 and Imbuki from Japan in January 2009..thjere mission to catalog real world Co2 consentration, where the Co2 really comes from, how it really moves, and where it really goes

    new Weather satilites will test if CO2 effects climate

  • Don't have to.

    Even if the science is true, does the proposed solution even have a slin chance of working?

    In short, it's a fellgood solution that wouldn't work in a million years.....and the problem...is math!

  • Actually the Geoligists, Meterologists, Ecologists and other Scientist worldwide got the funding to launch the CanX-2 Co2 orbiter in November 2008 and the Imbuki Co2 orbiter in January 2009

    There was also a NASA CO2 orbiter launched but was "lost in launch"

    These Orbiters will measure how much Co2 there really is, where they really come from,and where they go

    Over the next few years next generation Weather Satillites Launched will work with OCOs to test if CO2 really effects Climate

  • @TheRealArchAngel

    haha and you're gonna trust nasa, this institute founded by facists which isn't even a part of the totally corrupt us government? not a fucking dime I'd trust any of these criminals.

  • Dont trust Obama's "Space Czar" or other appointed officals like the "Weather Czar" cause they aren't Scientists

    I trust the grunt Sceintists that know their stuff in the organization that keep their unbiased and objective verification and testing metthods

  • @TheRealArchAngel

    Many of these "scientists" were named to support it even though they never agreed on that. And where do you think they got their money from? please believing a scientists who's backing the work of a lobbiest is like believing a member of parlament who's been working for the federal reserve before.

  • No,No,Mo

    The Head of the IPCC is a Economist as is a lot of the "Climate Experts"

    Their are also a lot of University faculty with Physics Degrees, English degrees, History degrees,and,of course, Government workers from NASA and such.....out of that lot only Hansen is a Gdeologist..and not a very good one at that if he still thinks antiquated "GHG Theory" explains heat surges better then Mantle pluming

  • All the political bullshit aside,and AGW is political bullshit, the REal Scientists in NASA and NOOA,JAXA,and other world meterological and space porgrams pushed for funding for the next step in the Scientific Process after "Peer review" and Publication which is VERIFICATION

  • Specifically the Real Scientists have launched CO2 probes like IMbuki(Japan,Jaan 2009) and CanX-2(Canada,November 2008) to measure the real world co2 concentration,real world CO2 origins,real world co2 movements,and where real world CO2 goes to compare to the Computer simulations and CLimate models

  • Over the next few years the Real Scientists are launching Next generation Weather Sattilites that will be able to TEST,in colaberation with the Co2 orbiters, if CO2 cocentrations can effect tempature,weather,and "climate" as claimed

    P.S. As someone that knows more about Gian Mechanics then a Economist,History Teacher,English Teacher,or Obama's Wether and Space "Cazrs" I can say the Answer is No....but let the testing comense anyway

  • P.S. just from the Initial real world Data , the Senators and Representatives mumered and even giggled when Obama meantioned "Global Warming" in his State of the Union

    And no, changing a GFG bulb or turning off your lights for an hour are bullshit "solutions" as the Power plant runs 24/7 and burns tons of coal weather or not you use the "on demand" energy

    Problems wind Windmills is Wind don't always blow

    Problem with Solar Panels=NIGHT TIME

    Dams flood Ecology, Nucluar is dangerous

  • Most silly claim about "getting off oi" with windmills or Solar panels,nuclar ,biofuel,blah,blah,blah is

    1)Carbon fiber and plastic and ruber parts in Windmills made from oil

    2) plastics,rubbers,and composites in solar panels are made from oil

    3) Steel is smelted with coke,from coal petro coke from oil or Natural or manafactured gas from oil

    4) fixers andbinders in cement comes from Coal and Oil

    We live in what modern Archelogist call the "Oil Age",EVERYTHING is made from it

  • Nice, you're awesome. Thanks for saving earth. We are on the brink of catastrophic climate change. NOT. lol. Did you like my fear mongering?

    Why do you blatantly ignore the arguments of sceptics, especially considering that skepticism is the most catalysing tool for scientific accuracy?

    CO2 is a TRACE GAS taking up 0.038% of the atmosphere. It is absurd to assert that it has any effect whatsoever on climate or temperatures, unless it has an impossible absorption rate.

  • You people should be ashamed... wtf

    Propaganda-BS

  • The US destroys the planet with their greenhouse emitions.

  • Then do the right thing....donate your carbon dumping, earth poisoning lifespam back to Mother Earth now, before it's too late for the polar bears.

  • What about the fart tax?

  • If you look at the multi-million year history of the earth, you will know these cap and trade guys are pounding sand. Right now, the CO2 levels are about 350 or so parts per million volume. They are sounding the alarm because it has gone up 10 points or so in 300 years. But in earth's ancient history, levels have been AS HIGH AS 7000 PPM, well before coal, cars, factories and humans! This is a MAJOR SCAM to empty our wallets! Search it yourself, earth CO2 levels, historical.

  • Maybe planet Earth won't look much the worse if CO2 levels increase, but we are a species that has adapted to this particular environment. In fact, using carbon fuels, we have over the past few centuries been able to increase the world's population by the billions. If the environment changes, Earth won't care, but we will: our way of supporting ourselves might be impaired and our coastal areas could be struck, perhaps causing billions of deaths.

  • The good news here is that the cat is out if the bag, thy lied about the sea level increase too. Oh, btw: it's getting much colder now and the polar icecaps have already returned to pre -1930's levels. Also, Polar bear populations are double what they were in the 1940's.

    It's going to get a lot colder, and soon.

    The elite banking cartels want to rule the world by controlling all life emissions, collecting the taxes. It won't help the planet.

  • Where do you get all that information from? It sounds a bit hard to believe, to put it mildly.

  • They want to tax plant food? Now, I've heard everything.

  • Cap and Trade: Will It Save the Earth?

    NO ITS A FRAUD

  • There should be a flouride tax if anything if you ask me. That shit dumped into the oceans is turning them into deserts

  • Do you want the government to come in your house and tell you how high you can set your thermostat and if you want to sell your house you HAVE to up date everything first then the government will come in and tell you if it's ok for you can sell it! Besides the fact taxes WILL rise gas to heat your house will triple I cannot afford cap and trade this will hurt the poor that obama says his going to help!

  • HOAX. EXPOSED LIARS. PWND

  • you guys are loony conspiracy theorists. can't you see that we need to save the earth!? once we've eradicated CO2 i think we should move on to H2O and then O2. I mean O2 is also known as dioxygen. Dioxygen, that sounds like it has "die" in its name, so it must be dangerous to humans, right? It must be causing people and the Earth to DIE !!! let's just tax it and hopefully get rid of it for good!

    you loony conspiracy theorists make me sick!

  • GREAT and funny comment. Thank you! (Had to make sure to read the whole thing to get it) Actually, once we've eradicated C02, we will already be done eradicating all life forms on this planet, b/c all life forms on this planet are carbon-based.

    Yes, all the nasty conspiracy theorists and their desire to live on a planet rich in C02 when their very life depends upon it. Shame for the selfishness huh?

  • So good to go here and see all the smart people who see what is REALLY going on. This Cap and Trade money will go to the United Nations, then passed on to third world nations. It is designed to bring us down, destroy our wealth, and make things more "fair" for others. It's pure garbage. Rather than make things more "fair," this is a way for tyrannical types to gain complete power over most of us. I hope people wake up to this fraud.

  • It's more than a mere "tax", it's about CONTROLLING all life on this planet!

    Co2 is NOT toxic!!!!!!! Cap and trade does NOTHING to help the environment or stop REAL toxins from being dumped into the environment. NOTHING in the bill addresses POLLUTION.

    Co2 does NOT alter the climate AT ALL.

    The taxes collected will go to a PRIVATE bank who is already openly calling itself the "New World Government" although nobody ELECTED them.

    MADDNESS

  • Right on,only fools will fall for this Shit.

  • rothschild and algore carbon credit firms will benefit from carbon taxes

  • Exactly right.

  • No, history, specifically the Late 2007 Bio-fuel Imitative causing a Economic Meltdown in late 2008 will repeat itself

    1) Raising taxes on gas,diesel,jet fuel,ship fuel will cause people to travel less and cause the price of food to go up

    2) As travel business goes under they will lay off workers that cant pay their mortgage or buy food and/or service or travel

    3) Retail/Service goes down and employees are laid off that cant pay their mortgage or buy food and/or service or travel

    4)(repeat)

  • 5) Within 6 months to a year of repeating steps 1 to 3 the mortgage industry with so many foreclosures will collapse causing the finance companies to collapse if not causing lay offs in the Financial Sector leaving workers that cant pay their mortgage or buy food and/or service or travel (repeat 1-3 and 5)

    6) Bushiness stocks will plummet as investors get anxious about lack of consumer spending, while consumers try to conserve what they have (if they haven't been laid off(repeat 1-3&5-6)

  • The Cap and Trade "credits" to be issued by Goldman Sachs(did you know that?) and their Ilk is just as worthless as Mortgage Derivatives once the Economic Engine of Spending is fucked up

    Manufacturers will not need to buy or trade Carbon Credits if they are shutting down factories,laying off workers,or have Bankrupted cause the cost of goods and services went up from the taxes on and coal went up to "save the Environment"....would they?

    This time would be a Depression

  • Good little video, and overall correct, but saying CO2 is "natural" doesn't mean it's OK to add more of it to the atmosphere. Hate to have to bring that up, but the dedicated "green" people will take any little mistake you make and use it to try to discredit everything you say. We have to be as precise as we can to win those who disagree with us over.

  • There is NO confirmed link that CO2 is causing any climate change. Plant life actually benefits from it. Plants produce oxygen... This is just a ploy to get more money out of us and reduce our standard of living even further. If Al Gore really believed this why isn't he living in a 2 room shack without running water or electricity? You know lead by example. It's a globalist scheme and that's all. We need to get OUT of the UN it is not at all in a sovereign nations best interest.

  • There is actually evidence that shows that the increase of temperature may have been a contributor in the rise of CO2 levels. Quite the opposite of the lies that are being touted about.

  • No, but since there is no substantive evidence that carbon emissions are the causing any climate change that may be occurring, implementing rationing of it certainly won't do anything except reduce our standard of living.

  • 300 scientists are suing al gore Can all 300 scientists be wrong?

  • I saw a petition which states that Al Gore is FRAUD on global warming being caused by C02. It's actually been signed by over 30,000 scientists, climatologists, meteorologists, even a bunch of guys over at NASA. The petition was initiated by the founder of the weather channel.

    This Gore STINKS!

  • jail the bastard and throw away the key

  • CAP AND TRADE = BULLSHIT!

    Welcome to the globalization!

    Politicians are sucking this country dry!

  • Really?

    Didn't Greece just fail from overtaxing and thus "choking their golden goose" with unbearable debt they could no longer pay off

    ANd most Countries with their "green Tax" have found themselves even more cash strapped then before after adopting Kyoto or Copenhagen?

    Even in the US the States that keep on raising their "sin" taxes are getting deeper and deeper in the hole as people to the things that are taxed more Less to tax revenue crippling effect

    To raise tax revenue you lower it(duh)

  • all the stupid niggers are pro-cap and trade, they dont know wtf, they just follow Obama cause he is black. cap and trade will not change the ozone layer, we're not the only ones polluting this world

  • Shame on you!

  • I don't think you can make a blanket statement like that at all. Not even ALL blacks are PRO-Obama. But it is true the Ozone layer hasn't changed although the CO2 has increased since they started watching this so it is safe to say this will do nothing for the environment except turn middle America into a third world existence which is what they are really after.

  • I agree on the one hand, but I think we should not further alienate potentially freedom loving people of all colors who would stand and fight with us on the right side of things to defeat the NWO if only they did know the truth. I am encouraged at how many rap-type blacks I see on YTB lambasting Obama for being a NWO sell-out. Some of them are getting WISE. Let's encourage them and not give any validity to it when people "play the race card" to defeat truth, facts.

    Rock on.

    Joy

  • The cap and trade bill has passed the house... its now in the senate now.

    It will cost each american $1,700 dollars a year

    This bill will measure each family''s emission of carbon dioxide , then force Americans to buy credits

    to supplement your allowance ......... Every business will be controlled . every family will be controlled Global warming was a hoax by the bankers and al gore to make money off the people/

    wake up sheeple

  • Support ending the Federal Reseve and we can get the bankers out of the mix. Vote out the traitors and that fixes the rest.

  • I heard it could cost upwards of 10K per year for every family of four. It STARTS with a massive transfer of wealth to turd-world Nations that we supposedly "owe" money to for all the C02 we've created over the past hundred years.

    You're right. It's about control, Has nothing to do with "saving the planet".

  • Cap and trade = FRAUD.

    It's like issuing monopoly money as real money. 

    Oh one more thing... taxes don't save the environment. We already have countless regulations in place and all they do is fill a trough with money for our representatives to waste.

    Say NO to this b.s. because that's all it is. It's a lie. It's another fee for being alive.

  • right on , just tell them all to go to HELL.

  • That's the system we have anyway. The Federal Reserve is the biggest counterfeiter of them all. They charge interest to the federal government for 100% of the money loaned when 90% of it is "created" out of thin air (never existed except on an accounting sheet). I am telling you people there is where we start to end this madness.

  • If we want to send a real message ALL incumbents need to go in each and every election from here on out regardless of party affiliation.  Start with a fresh slate. Their corporate benefactors will have thrown all those campaign funds down the toilet and I will smile like a cheshire cat. There may be a few that are worthy of staying and we all know who THEY are.

  • and if they don't, throw the next batch out,and keep doing it until they learn, or we start the dam war.

  • Every time americans do something stupide like increacing taxes for the poor. In my home in canada we get flooded with american imigrantes. I don't like these americans are taking jobs from canadians.

  • Also check out 'Climate Chains' on youtube.

    it is a compelling version of how cap and trade is horrible

  • You've got it right. The more gov gets involved in ANYTHING, the WORSE it gets! And here, we're not even talking about an elected government. They are pushing for a global control given to an unelected few elite bankers!

    BTW: The Un's "top climate adviser" is the PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD BANK!!!

    AND, he has no scientific education!

  • I agree that cap-and-trade is a stupid system, but would you agree on a no-nonsense direct carbon tax (clear, easy, everyone knows what it's going to cost them and there aren't any loopholes)?

    And btw, why were it the Europeans and not the Americans that ratified Kyoto, if this is another one of those "grand conspiracies against the American people by anonymous evildoers"?

  • If I believed that C02 was dangerous I might agree. All life forms on this planet are dependent upon C02 b/c we are all carbon-based life forms.

    If we're going to cap emissions, those emissions should be TOXIC emissions. Old dinosaurs made the oil we use, it's the things man adds to the gas mixture which create a problem, so these things should be regulated. OH: The planet IS getting colder. Buy warm weather gear b/c it's going to get a hell of lot worse, and soon. (See solar flare cycle).

  • people are also forgetting that just 1 volcanic eruption spews a shitload more bad gasses of various kinds into the air. its just another money grab to bring us further into slavery. u wanna protect future generations? how about we protect them from this oppressive state we have been living under for decades? cause its just gonna get worse

  • I don't think you understand. it is precisely b/c we DO understand the FACTS that cap and trade carbon taxes, to fund a global government, comprised of a few unelected elite bankers, that we appose it.

    The UN's to climate advisor is the president of the World Bank and he ahs no scientific education. The UN is funded by IMF, World Bank and Federal Reserve Bank. these are PRIVATE, for-profit corporations who also own big pharma and most media. Get an education.

  • Its the biggest scam in 500 yrs, its like selling indulgences in the middle ages. The marxists in office will strangle prosperity. Its all planned out.

  • Cap and Trade will destroy the middle class which is already hurting badly.

  • Cap/trade isn't a tax. Tax money goes to the government. What you pay in extra utilities goes to the private sector.

    I wish we had a carbon tax instead of cap/trade. It'd be more effective.

  • your an idiot.

  • Man, you're--I mean, "your"--a genius. You provided a very thorough, cogent rebuttal to what I posted. Now I'll be sure to vote GOP in the midterm.

  • how about we do this. Just put a cap on the amount of oxygen you can breathe.

  • What would that achieve?

  • That just shows how stupid this whole argument is.

  • Tell me, do you believe cap/trade is about breathing? Do you know how the carbon cycle works?

    If you really believe you know more about climate science than climate scientists, why don't you write a paper on your findings and submit for peer review?

  • No I don't believe cap and trade is about breathing. I do not believe carbon dioxide is harming the earth. But if you want to continue your religion of worshiping the earth then why don't you make an argument to make people breathe less.

  • I don't "worship" the Earth and because I understand basic climate science I know that breathing has absolutely nothing to do with global warming. Whether we breathe more or less, it will have 0 impact on the environment.

    How many peer reviewed paper have you published by the way?

  • So you agree that Global Warming isn't caused by humans.

  • Name one peer reviewed paper that suggests global warming is caused by man's respiration.

    Global warming is caused by mankind's usage of fossil fuels, which add CO2 to the environment that isn't incorporated into the carbon cycle. It resides in the troposphere and absorbs IR at 4.26 and 14.99 microns. It has caused about half a degree of warming over the past 30 years.

  • Can you explain to me why the US has recored over 3000 record low temperatures?  Why has the farms yields been lower in the UK this year because of colder weather?

  • Yeah, it's called weather. Short term 'noise.' It happens every year. Every year we set hundreds/thousands of record lows. But we set even more record highs, and when you compile the data over a long term baseline you yield a warming trend. Look at warming/cooling anomalies worldwide:

    More red dots that blue dots.

  • Can you tell me why it is not longer a consensus among scientists?

  • Says who?

    97.4% of active climate scientists agree GW is real and caused by man.

    84% of meteorologists agree, too.

    Your source?

  • See DeusExMachina7709 - get your facts right

  • The correct facts. UK yields in 2008 - Barley up 10% , Wheat up 7% Oats yield down 13% and potatoes 7%. UK temperatures are rising steadily and significantly. The climate is wetter, warmer and with more turbulent wind events. Flooding, a problem for farmers, is now an annual event as rainfall increases. Get your facts right.

  • "worshippin the earth" hmmmm...poor comment?

  • is it? I think a lot of people would agree with that.

  • Well if you think so...It makes me wonder if you have your own religious belief that man had the right to carry on destroying the planet we live on, to wipe out millions of species, and think nothing of causing the death of millions of his fellow men. "One planet - one experiment" - E.O.Wilson. Fine some serious commentators who think this is all about worshipping the earth and I will be impressed...but not just beer glass opinionists please.

  • The industry is producing besides CO2 other chemical gases wihch are poisoning forest, decomposers and animals. By the way half of the worlds O2 is produced in the sea. If industry continues contaminating the sea and the forest we will run out air.

    why can´t you understand that this is an serius issue.

  • Man cannot either save or destroy the earth! The earth was here before man and will be here long after man is gone! The cap and trade will do next to nothing except make families already struggling, struggle even more! Also will further the burden on corporations at the point they would cut their labor force or either shut down...This is not the time for cap and trade as since January of this year over 3 million jobs have been lost...Why further it higher?

  • I am still amazed how the politicians found a way to stop pollution with a tax. It almost sounds...stupid. I guess it is actually.

    All of the issues the green politicians cry about can be addressed with new, existing technology. The won't though since the new tech would cut into the profits of the lobbyist that line the scum bag politicians pockets.

  • Look up-"Alinsky's Rules for Radicals"-

    Its amazing how many of these so-called rules the Obama administration follows!

    Scary stuff!

  • Can someone explain the taxing and subsidies issue associated with this? I'm a Public Forum debater, and I need a con view for the economy. Thanks!

  • It's interesting to me that President George Bush, Sr. signed a cap and trade bill on the emissions of sulfur dioxides, that this legislation worked to reduce over all emissions, and at a fraction of the cost of outright regulation.

    You'd think that free-market types wouldn't find something to like from one of their own?

    Come on, you live on this planet as well. You do not have to be beholden to your Exxon financiers.

  • this is the biggest shit bill ever. guarantee most of the people in the house read little if any about it.of coarse the tree huggers love it,but they to are clueless to what this will consist of. you people better wake up and smell the coffee. in the end GOD will decide what happens here on earth not obama and his puppets .

  • CBO estimates a total cost of $175 per household

  • watch my video "al gore is a dickhead" on my channel

  • ummm, carbon isnt increasing because of fossil fuels. temps arent rising because of carbon. do the science idiots... temps raise the carbon in the air, not the other way around. this whole discussion is null. all the green things on this planet needs carbon. the more the better. its not going to make temps go up!

  • The government is not corrupted by the IMF, U.N., or the FEDERAL RESERVE, which is a private corporation. Check out "Bernanke threatens congress", on utube. Cap in trade is another theft of our dollar. I followed this before the bill. there was one post right before, and now? TOO LATE. There is no liberal/conservative side, "THEY" like you to believe that. WAKE UP. Over 300 scientists came out before the bill, against the "convenient" truth.Obama deception, Bush crime family, Clinton chronicles

    Don't know if that's the exact quote.

  • Start the impeachment process before he ruins america for good. Or we will all be dead.

  • usa is changing alot

  • Oklahoma congressman said that one study says that even if the whole world where to stop producing carbon it would only reduce global warming by 1 onehundreth of a degree, so that really not going to have any effect at all on global warming. Stop these politicians now before they make it to were I cant afford to survive. My wife must have AC or she will die because she has a heart condition. Its a matter of life or death.

  • I have a handicapped Daughter in the same boat as your wife!

    Global Warming (and cooling) is caused by only ONE entity.... the Sun! During the 90's we had very high amounts of Solar flares which raised Earth's temp (slightly) and since 99 they have been reduced and guess what the N.E. USA had the coldest winter on record and the coldest June (records since 136 years ago!)

    Global Warming is just another panic button the Govt and the media like to use to control the STUPID!

  • The records of carbon emissions span over three centuries (and especially the last five decades), not only the last decade. We must also look at trends over time, not necessarily the highs or lows of any instant.

  • People we need to wake up! I got videos where Obama wants the NWO from the letterman show.

    Obama doesn't fool me and now he wants many Americans dead and/or sterilized.

    Yeah Bush worshipped Lucifer and I even heard he owned a satanic bible and that Obama may be the antichrist that will lead us into the NWO.

    Cap and trade is a liberty restriction and martyer tool (murder tool).

    Cap and trade and other environmental human murdering laws must STOP NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Now do you believe in the Conspiracy Theory of History? I used to think our Reps were stupid and didn't understand the effect of the legislation they were passing (without reading). Not so. They understand.... which is why there is no need to read the bills. Deals have been been made in advance. They have their slice of the pie. Only a few like Ron Paul are not traitors.

  • if this will "help" keep the US CO2 down 2%, the Chicoms will pollute 50%.

    Also the EPA covered up a bill that states that the Earth is COOLING not WARMING.
