Adultery trading

This started out as an entry to the Davos Question, but I thought the focus was too narrow and the "answer" to the question way too unpalatable for mass consumption, not to mention far too preachy.

But I'd spent some time on the animation, so it's now a general rant against Emissions Trading.

No doubt there are some holes in the logic, and this is, by necessity, a one-sided view. However, I believe it is significant that we're emitting just as many greenhouse gases as before, but we're trading more and more every year. That means we're simply juggling the figures: at some point, we'll run out of pollution credits and have to decide whether to break the agreement, or shut down a lot of our industry overnight.

Perhaps you can make clear to me, how many tons of CO2 are emitted by the vulcanos, geisers, warm waterwells, etc. around the world, everyday? Human contribution to that emissions is trivial. I believe, vulcanos etc should be prohibted;-) However, I like your vids. Hans

I'm not sure about actual tonnage, but since the Industrial Revolution, concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased from 280ppm to 380ppm, and the rate of increase has itself increased dramatically in line with the growth of industry -- up to a third of all GHGs in our air may be our fault. But there are many other reasons why we should cut back on pollution: sharp rises in incidents of respiratory disease may be due to atmospheric pollution in our cities, for example.

The music in this sounds so familiar.

Nice comparison. I really like this video because it shows how the real facts are blurred, and how governments look for good excuses to do nothing about environment protection.

But the fact is that US companies are being allowed to remain inefficient merely because they can afford it. What's needed is for US companies to fall in line with the rest of the developed world, not find excuses to continue polluting the atmosphere.

Of course, the problem may sort itself out anyhow. The US motor industry is already collapsing under the weight of its own inefficiency.
