I don't think you listened. Corruption is possible with Cap and Trade, but he's talking about a carbon-tax, which never touches the hands of "those Wall Street types". Nobody is getting rich off of a Carbon tax. The money forces businesses to become more energy efficient, and it will help us out of our national debt. I love how you used China as an excuse for not innovating; because, they are using us as an excuse as well. Someone has to start doing whats right.

@juscurious If you think the emission of trillions of metric tons of GHG for 50 years+ worldwide - which have been proven to heat up the Earth - is trivial then I really don't know what to say to you... Go do some proper, unbiased research.

if we just put a carbon tax won't that fail to put a limit on emissions

Fuck Carbon tax. I'm not going to even dignify with what I see wrong with CO2 tax with an answer.

We don't need a Carbon Tax at all. We don't need Cap and Trade. There is NO problem with CO2. What man puts up in the Environment is trivial. You've assumed the role of "doing whats right". But YOU don't know this. Businesses are already energy efficient, much more so than individuals. I know this because I do energy audits for my company. There's not much more we can do to be efficient. We didn't need a tax to do this. We did it to save money. Markets work best. Not more government.
