Emission Trading Schemes
June 9th 2009 07:22
I am sure you will forgive me for being pessimistic about this 'scheme'. I cannot find a shred of actual evidence that carbon is causing our planet to heat up. I have this terrible fear that the world is being conned into believing such garbage by a few with vested interests in making a dollar out of "Trading Schemes" and the whole thing is an invention of a propaganda machine, purely to make money for its instigators.
Reduce pollution? Most certainly do that so that clean breathable air is available everywhere, but do it honestly. Perhaps as the Chinese propose: Tax the polluters more heavily than non polluters. Simple,probably effective, and won't place an extra burden on the general population by adding to the cost of living.
Adding extra costs to farm production because animals fart and belch is plain ludicrous. The more I read about "trading Schemes" reducing emissions, the more I think that any Govt involved in such ridiculous ideas should visit a shrink immediately. [The whole bloody Govt ] Can't anyone tell the so-called advisers to members of Govt to get it right,and prove it before promoting stupid legislation.
It is a great pity that the beaurocrats who advise politicians can't be held personally responsible for giving lousy advice based on conjecture and not fact.
