More on the Cap and Trade Scam

The AP is reporting today that developing nations, led by China and India, are blocking UN climate talks while demanding that rich countries discuss much deeper cuts in their greenhouse gas emissions. This is curious given that China and India rank number one and number four, respectively, in the list of top world polluters. Furthermore, according to Time the top four most polluted places in the world are cities in China and India.

This is an old trick that common street pickpockets use; first they create a diversion and then they make off with your wallet before you even realize that it's gone. As I've stated previously, cap and trade does nothing to address the issue of pollution; it simply grants permits to pollute and blocks the poorest nations of the world from having the opportunity to step out of the stone ages via industrialization. Cap and trade levies a tremendous tax on us all and the end result is massive profits for multi-national corporations while keeping the impoverished poor and dependent on the government dole.
