  CO2 Warming Potential Minimal: Sources?

  I'm not a climate scientist but it would be important for me to look at your sources on this statement.  Do you have any peer reviewed explaination and evidence of this?

  Thanks for your help.

  Cap & Charade

  Please see www.carbontax.org/ for good information on why a direct carbon tax is five times more effective than any "cap & charade" schemes.

  cha⋅rade:  3. a blatant pretense or deception, esp. something so full of pretense as to be a travesty.

  Also, if you look who funds some of the "environmental" groups you will understand that they are not representing environmental interests in these "deals".

  Cap & Trade

  The Carbon Tax with a tax reduction on work and enterprise is just what our economy needs.  Cap & Trade is really "Cap & Charade".  A Congressional Report shows that a direct carbon tax would be five times more effective than cap & trade schemes.  There is a role for government and one of those roles is to correct a price system that doesn't include true environmental(and other external) costs.  A carbon tax would provide incetives for energy conservation and the development of clean renewable sources.  see http://www.carbontax.org/ for a good information on the carbon tax.

  Cap and Trade

  Slight oops!  The Study on the Carban Tax vs. Cap and Trade was done by the Congressional Budget Office (CBO).  See:  http://www.cbo.gov/ftpdocs/89xx/doc8934/02-12-Carbon.pdf

  Cap and Trade

  I don't mean to be picky but the "cap and trade" for carbon is not the best way to go. I'm disappointed to see this language in the Democratic Party Platform.

  See The Carbon Tax Center to learn why cap and trade would set us back:  http://www.carbontax.org/

  For starters the U.S. Office of Management and Budget has determined that the Carbon Tax would be five times more effective at moving us toward our carbon goals than Cap and Trade schemes.  

  If you don't like the sound of "tax" in carbon tax then call is something else like "Earth Fee" for using OUR atmosphere.  Then give everyone an equal Earth Citizen's Dividend rebate to make it work economically, ecologically, and politically.

  Better yet, a shift of taxes off work and production and onto the use of our limited natural resources would catalyze a new green industrial revolution and help us find solutions to the peak oil crisis we all face.  If you have anything to do with the Democratic (or Republican) party platform please google The Green Tax shift or go to http://www.progress.org/banneker/shift.html
