Carbon Cap-and-Trade Could Increase Coal Usage

"Then again, scientists are in near universal agreement that something must be done.."

A statement like that brings into doubt the rest of the article. www.petitionproject.or.../ has a list of over 31,000 scientists of which more than 9,000 have PhD's who doubt the "earth is warming, it is primarily caused by man-made emissions, AND it will lead to catastrophe" scenario that left is using to destroy capitalism and seize more and more power over people's lives. Note that most of the people and groups pushing this agenda were formerly or currently are members of the Socialist/Communist type parties. Since those have been proven failures, they have jumped on this issue. Follow the money and follow the power.

Global warming, errr make that "Climate Change" (since the earth has been cooling for the last decade) has poorly substantiated theories that people will suffer harm some time in the future. Meanwhile access to inexpensive energy (coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear power) GREATLY improves the living conditions and saves lives NOW. By making energy more expensive you are guaranteeing widespread human suffering, especially in the 3rd world. How's that for compassion and caring?
