Yes, simply for its redistributive effects.

Well, global warming ISN’T a problem if it were happening,

and global warming is NOT happening,

and higher CO2 levels have led to tremendous increases (14-27%) more food, fuel, fodder, and feed,

So I guess he and Nancy wold push it through to destroy the American economy anyway.

Would Obama use cap and trade if no global warming exists?

Yes.

once you come to realize Zer0 wants to destroy America
these questions are simple. the dissonance among many people is they believe Obama has the only best of
intentions of our country. You cannot name one policy, speech or action from this America hater that will amount
to anything productive.

It’s not about “global warming.” It’s about wealth redistribution.

Yes he would. It cedes sovereignty to the United Nations and implements the Bali Road Map. Look for yourself. It’s at thomas.loc.gov. The United Nations is cited in the bill at least 22 times. It is the authority that the secretary of Energy and the secretary of state are ordered to submit to. It completely corrupts the executive branch making them report to an international body. It is a constitution-killer, which Obama would support under every circumstance.

Yes. Cap and Trade is an enormous boondoggle to enrich certain interests, most notably the government. Obama has already said he wants to use one third of the money collected for income redistribution. The bill that the House passed had a provision that families with incomes at a certain percentage above the poverty level would have money from this program deposited directly into their bank accounts.

Obama could also use the money for other socialist programs he has in mind, like universal health care. (Without the money from this program, there will never be enough to fund his health program.)

Wall Street is also looking forward to securitizing the offsets that will be traded between carbon-producing enterprises. (Enron was supposed to have been very interested in cashing in on this mechanism.)

Also, there are companies that stand to make a lot of money from investing in “green” technology, like General Electric.

Of course he would. No one with an ounce of sense sees this for anything other than what it is: a tax grab. Like SSI taxes, most of the money will never make it to “Green” jobs and businesses, it’ll just be used to fund pork.

Everything the ‘Bama has done has been with a single, overriding objective; the consolidation of power. Only lies and wishful thinking are even suggestive of the contrary.

If supporting this means he can steal more money from Joe Six Pack, you bet he’ll be for it, facts be damned!

Naturally. The left will use/invent any “crisis” to get its claws into the economy and people’s lives.

Would Obama Support Cap-and-Trade If Global Warming Wasn't a Problem?

As we are observing, definitely yes.

Of course he would. It is a codeword for redistribution and more tax.

"...if government heavily taxed coffee, we could not only reduce our dependence on foreign coffee beans, we would create more jobs in industries whose products were substitutes for coffee (say milk or orange juice)."

Such twisted logic is already at work. We tax cigarettes to discourage smoking yet use the revenue to fund children's health care. So to expand children's health care will we not need more people to smoke?
