Carbon Capping Debate - Will Results Favor Wall St.?

If Exxon was against cap and trade would anyone listen? I believe one of the majors tried to support research to demonstrate the skeptics argument but the media inferred that this sponsorship nullified findings.

There is no race to the truth - without private industry research it is all political - the private groups really have no monetary incentive to fund billions for a overextrapolated doomsday scenerio.

And there is no one to rebut the arguments since the majority of meter. stations and researchers rely on federal grants and money - which undeniably means the politicians that fund it. Look at the "research" which was included as a part of our last chance for economic survival - in the big pork bill - not seperate.

There is a major effort to confuse carbon warming theory with the subset of air pollution over major cities - which of course contributes but two different arguments. Also there is another major effort to confuse global warming with energy efficiency - in many cases of course they work inversely - it is fiction one will lead to another - because wind, solar etc must be measured by resources expended ie costs- not just carbon output.
The biggest head fake going -


Once again why would some integrated be so against cap -if you reduce demand or tax - they know this is a political gerrymandered policy against primarily the US leaving out so many nations who will refuse to comply anyway that the value of the black gold reserves will rise enriching their assets.

How this relates to weaning off of foreign oil is another fake out.

If we were working in the private sector - people would do studies to see what the best alt solution is for develop. In political grab bags you take any idea that sell newspapers and fund them all simultaneously wind,solar,ethanol, geo etc as a lazy political expedient solution -buying votes everywhere.

To your point this is why we it is politics as usual. Politics is the last the last place this question should be resolved - we handed them the question? I believe there is not one engineer in the Senate!
