Is Cap n Trade a joke? Heres the facts..Jack!

Even if you believe in global warming, you really have to think very, 

very hard about the wisdom of taxing us out of existence just to 

reduce man made carbon emissions 

Professor Ian Plimer could not have said it better! If you've read his book you will agree, this is a good summary. Are you sitting down? Okay, here's the bombshell.  The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since  its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED  EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to  control CO2 emissions on our planet – all of you. Of course you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are  trying to suppress – it’s that vital chemical compound that every  plant requires to live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for  us humans, and all animal life. I know, it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon  emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the  inconvenience and expense of: driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric  grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kid's  "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your  non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper,  putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and  speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting  hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cents light  bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs...well, all of those things you have  done have all gone down the tubes in just four days. The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four  days - yes - FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has  totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil  beast, carbon.  And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the  planet spewing out this crud any one time - EVERY DAY. I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should  mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the  Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the  atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in its entire  YEARS on earth.  Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one  year – think about it. Of course I shouldn't spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment  and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well- recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keep  happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect  climate change. And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but  the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the  western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your  efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three  years.  And it happens every year. Just remember that your government just tried to impose a  whopping carbon tax on you on the basis of the bogus  “human-caused” climate change scenario. Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention “Global Warming”  any more, but just “Climate Change” - you know why?  It’s  because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past  century and these global warming bull artists got caught with  their pants down. And just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions  Trading Scheme – that whopping new tax – imposed on you,  that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer.   It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure. But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day! PS: I wonder if Iceland is buying carbon offsets?
