CAP-&-TRADE: A SCAM BASED ON A SCAM
By Alan Caruba
GLOBAL WARMING PROPAGANDA & THE PROPOSED CAP-& TRADE ACT: THE COMBINED ASSAULT ON REALITY, ON
SCIENCE, ON COMMON SENSE, & ON ANY FUTURE ECONOMIC GROWTH OF THE AMERICAN NATION -- WHAT IS HAPPENING
IN THE UTTERLY CORRUPT COMMUNITY OF ENVIRONMENTALISTS, GLOBAL WARMING PROPAGANDISTS, & THEIR
ASSOCIATES IN THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
FULL STORY:
It is almost beyond comprehension that Senator John Kerry (Democrat - Massachusetts) and Senator Joseph Lieberman
(Independent - Connecticut) will introduce the Cap-and-Trade Act on Wednesday, May 12th, for consideration by the
U.S. Senate. The proposed legislation is being passed off as a “climate bill” with provisions for more oil drilling, but it is
an assault on reality, on science, on common sense, and on any future economic growth of the nation.
The nation’s prisons are filled with men still claiming to be innocent after trials filled with evidence of their guilt. Denial of
the truth is their last resort and this metaphor reflects what is happening in the utterly corrupt community of “global
warming” liars and their associates in the U.S. government.
Recently, 225 “scientists” wrote a letter defending global warming theory. The letter was published in the journal
Science, one of the many such publications that have become as corrupt as those at the center of the global
warming scam.
Based on last November’s leaked emails among those most responsible for the data at the heart of the global warming
scam, it was revealed that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had been systematically
publishing false climate information and analysis.
Moreover, the photo used to illustrate the “scientists” letter was photo-shopped to show a polar bear on a small piece of
ice surrounded by water. The deception included the fact that many of the signatories to the letter lack credibility.
Among the first 20 listed, none work in the field of climate science.
As reported by Tony Hake, of Climate Change Examiner, “Pediatric surgeons, an expert in the Maya and Olmec
civilizations, a chemist that studies bacteria, and a ‘computer pioneer’ with Microsoft, an electrical engineer, the
chairman of a biotechnology firm, and even an expert studying corn are but a few of the 225 experts that signed the
letter.”
Dr. Gerhard Kramm, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Alaska Fairbanks, fired off a letter disputing the usual
claim that human activity is causing carbon dioxide emissions that are, in turn, causing global warming. “Until today,
there is no scientific evidence that an increase of the globally averaged near-surface temperature by less than one
Kelvin during the last 160 years can be linked to the increase of the atmospheric concentrations of socalled greenhouse
gases.”
There is no global warming. Whatever warming occurred followed the end of a mini ice age that began around 1350.
Around 1850, the Earth’s temperature increased about one degree Fahrenheit to its current level.
The United Nations has been the locus of the greatest hoax perpetrated in the modern era, codified in the bogus Kyoto
Protocol, an international agreement that many nations signed onto in 1997. The Clinton administration signed the
agreement, but did not implement it, due to a Senate resolution that unanimously rejected it.
The real aim of the global warming scam is the prospect of selling “carbon credits” in exchanges around the world, in
effect selling air!
If the Cap-and-Trade Act is passed at the urging of the Obama administration, it will constitute the greatest tax on
energy use in the history of the nation and it will energize exchanges, such as the one in Chicago, set up to buy and
sell the carbon credits.
As reported by Investor’s Business Daily on May 7,
“The carbon trading system being pushed here has spawned
crime and fraud across the pond. Cap-and-Trade is not about
saving the planet. It’s about money and power, and absolute
power corrupting absolutely.”
The European Emissions Trading System is a warning to America. IBD described it as “a scam built upon a
scam.” British and German law enforcement authorities have been busy arresting miscreants “as part of a pan-European
crackdown on carbon credit VAT tax fraud.” And VAT, a value added tax, is being advanced in the United States as a
way to raise money to pay off our ever increasing debt.
“Last December,” reported IBD, “Europol, the European criminal intelligence agency, announced that Emissions
Trade System fraud had resulted in about five billion euros in lost revenues as Europe’s carbon traders schemed to
avoid paying Europe’s VAT and pocket the difference. In announcing the raid, the agency said that as much as 90% of
Europe’s carbon trades were the result of fraudulent activity.”
The entire global warming theory has been a scam, a hoax and a fraud from the day it was first put forth. Its advocates,
corrupt scientists, corrupted science journals, and all of the environmentalist organizations are hoping the same
Congress that foisted Obamacare on Americans will do the same with Cap-and-Trade.
