No... Our energy consumption has dropped because the economy tanked. It’s hard to gas up the SUV when it’s been repossessed.

Neither the cap-and-trade bill nor EPA carbon regulation is needed to lower US emissions. The bureaucratic/environmentalist alliance wants these measures to increase public control over our economy, not to fight global warming.

Every single thing this government does is intended to do that.

"Most likely, by the time the 2010 measurements are in, we'll have reached the Obama goal."

10% unemployment is probably good for reducing those carbon emissions!

Control is an important factor, but I believe that behind everything is the desire for population control. If they take away our energy (which is what they are doing), the human population will drop.

Everything the Left does is predicated on the idea that fewer humans would be better. That's why they hate the family. Why they love abortion, and homosexuals. If they can get us living in caves, shivering, eating nuts and berries, then a global human population of 100 million would be achievable. And they would need to be the tribal chieftains, of course.

I believe the push to pretend carbon needs to be conrolled and to continue the trading is to get the derivatives market going in carbon - which is accounted for in the cap and trade bill.

If we liked what derivatives did to the housing market, can’t wait to see what they do to air!

Agreed. That is my inescapable conclusion, too. But hey, what’s a connie movement for if not to create a totalitarian state?

Ok. I just want to say that my assumption (and your chart) are irrelevant anyway because I don’t see CO2 as a pollutant.
