USA dömt till eCO2nomiskt vansinnesprojekt

Påpekade tidigare att Carly Fiorina (som anses kunna bli McCains finansminister-val) på konventet talade om att i USA införa cap-and-trade, dvs handel med utsläppsrätter. Ett system som ekonomer varnar för (Business Week, Hawaii Reporter), vissa blivit miljardärer på (Wall Street Journal) samt har misslyckats; Europas utsläpp ökade med systemet medan USA:s minskade utan det (Hot Air).

Bloggen EU Referendum länkar en sida där McCains och Obamas åsikter kan jämföras, och noterar och kommenterar svaren om klimatförändring:

John McCain:
To dramatically reduce carbon emissions, I will institute a new cap-and-trade system that over time will change the dynamic of our energy economy. By the year 2012, we will seek a return to 2005 levels of emissions, by 2020, a return to 1990 levels, and so on until we have achieved at least a reduction of sixty percent below 1990 levels by the year 2050.

Barack Obama:
I will implement a market-based cap-and-trade system to reduce carbon emissions by the amount scientists say is necessary: 80 percent below 1990 levels by 2050. I will start reducing emissions immediately by establishing strong annual reduction targets with an intermediate goal of reducing emissions to 1990 levels by 2020.

Forget about Palin. We're doomed, I tell you. Doomed!
