I love how the Brits and Euros call business deals a "scheme" It certainly has a different connotation here in the US, and it fits.

“Scam” is a better term.

"It would be helpful if participants think very hard about it..."

Sounds like they have. Looks like the wrong people have figured out how to make a profit.

This is hysterical. Carbon-trading cannot produce wealth - so (I guess) what is actually happening with these “profits” is that some businesses are finding ways to shuck off some of their tax burden.

Which would be pretty funny, if I wasn’t sure that some gormless Civil Servants a) owe their existence to this Anthropogenic GW nonsense, and b) are living off my taxes.

"Nobody is changing investments," said Guy Tuner, analyst at New Carbon Finance.

What would be the reward for doing so?

[JustDoItAlways]

The math doesn’t work here.

How can the utilities be making windfall profits? Who is paying them for the carbon credits in “windfall” amounts? Who is paying 20 Euros per tonne of CO2?

I’m sure a few gullible greenies are buying up credits (to offset their personal emissions) but this would only add up to 50 Euros to 100 Euros per person. The numbers don’t add up.
