Al Gore’s campaign against global warming is shifting into high gear...But while the mainstream media promote his ideas about the state of planet Earth, they are mostly silent about the dramatic impact his economic proposals would have on America...and routinely ignore evidence that he may personally benefit from his programs. Would the romance fizzle if Gore’s followers realized how much their man stands to gain?......
Never mind that the scientific community is divided over what causes global warming, how bad it is and how to deal with it. Gore plays Chicken Little to the media’s applause, insisting that the world is warming dangerously and that he has the solution......
To resolve the “climate crisis,” Gore...calls for an immediate freeze on U.S. emissions, a ban on new coal-fired power plants, tough new fuel-economy and energy-efficiency standards, renewable energy mandates, carbon taxes and mandatory targets and timetables for reducing greenhouse-gas emissions. Those emissions consist mostly of carbon dioxide, the byproduct of fossil fuels such as oil, coal and natural gas, which supply 85% of all U.S. energy......
Al Gore is chairman and founder of a private equity firm called Generation Investment Management (GIM). According to Gore, the London-based firm invests money from institutions and wealthy investors in companies that are going green. “Generation Investment Management, purchases -- but isn’t a provider of -- carbon dioxide offsets,” said spokesman Richard Campbell in a March 7 report by CNSNews.
GIM appears to have considerable influence over the major carbon-credit trading firms that currently exist: the Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) in the U.S. and the Carbon Neutral Company (CNC) in Great Britain. CCX is the only firm in the U.S. that claims to trade carbon credits......

How many Carbon Credits has Algor bought to pay off his ZINC MINE POLLUTION on his TENNESSEE Property??????
If Gore pulls this scam off, he'll be the richest person on the planet and the most morally deprived.
Why is it that only politicians and journalists are the ones in the forefront promoting this circus? All the real scientist have vanished!
Lot of incestuous relationships in that carbon trading scam.
I sell carbon credits, $1 per pencil. Help the Democrats sweep both houses and the Presidency, and we’ll all be selling pencils.
Carbon credits are merely a new way for socialists to raise money for socialist causes...........a Marxist bake sale, if you will..........

What are you asking; if the increasing CO2 in the atmosphere is due to anthropogenic emissions?
If you are, have you ever heard of something called the "Suess Effect"? (Before you josh and mention green eggs and ham, I'd look it up.)
The reason being simply is this: The left, inconjunction with the right - who also like controlling various portions of the US budget, have opted to follow the leaderless left and rob the American people of a hard earned income - and since the SS fund is now bereft of everything except moths (so LBJ could pay for Vietnam and the Great Society simultaneously). Now our wonderful and gracious congress under the license of the great traitors Clinton and Carbon Man, want to rob even more of the hard earned American dollar under the guise (guile) of supporting stupidity.
