Sounds scary when you hear it now days.. That's because this clarion call has gone up like a California wild fire ! Are we seeing what is happening here ?
You do understand that this issue is someones opportunity to cash in on world fear..
How convenient that the connection to Global warming is fossil fuels, that the U.S. is one of the largest consumers of fossil fuel, that emissions are the culprit..
Hell, every type of emission that they talk about is mainly coming out of the United States. WOW... RIGHT !
Who is getting scammed here ? You and I.. While the world keeps burning, all eyes are on the U.S. Why you ask ? Because Al Gore's carbon credit company is here, that's why...
Come on People, science has told us that we have reached "peak oil" (meaning that the Bell Curve is on it's way down), the world has reached it peak production, oil production is on the down slide, and consumption is going up while we are at war to secure yet another piece of the largest oil production areas of geography in the world and not doing a good job of it.
So how do you slow the consumption down ? By creating a panic and raising prices.. These people are going to make their money as long as the public is willing to take it in the pants..The populations ignorance has been their money maker for eons.. People a reactive creatures, so they take advantage of this fact.
The U.S. can reap an enormous windfall in trillions of dollars from the sale of Carbon Credits.. First, company's will buy Carbon Credits that cap their emissions by 3% annually, if they exceed this %, they pay the government for the excess.
Sounds like "we" aren't making anything out of the deal except that "we" must make the sacrifice of not being able to get to work without paying our carbon credits first.. (oh yes, we will also be subject to these credits soon enough).
Now Get this...Per the Gore Carbon Credit corp. We the people, will get to use the money from the sale of Credits "For the common good".. Do you see how that phrase comes up again? Did you read the last blog that talks about "The common Good" ? All fascist governments make that phrase the main factor for justifying their evil...
Don't you want to know what "The common Good" is ? What I want to know is, how will that help us, the individuals ? I'd say, from experience, It Will NOT !
The government see us, the people, as Tax cash cows and herd us accordingly..
No more, No less.
I can smell the Corporate "Good Ol' Boy" trade off now.. Corporations will whine when they exceed their credits, they'll whine about the fuel prices, they'll want to be made whole; and guess what... The government will come to their aid (wink wink, nod nod).. They will call it "Offsetting" And Like always, show one thing, do another.. Business as usual because they know the public is too stupid to see the truth. They know it, they'll use it.
It isn't the governments job to make businesses whole when markets change, that is what got us in trouble in the first place, but when a large corporation gives money to presidential campaigns, they expect something in return.. Who really pays these favors ? Us !!! It is corporate Welfare all over again...
So to whom do these credit windfalls belong ? Figure that one out, it isn't rocket science.. As I always say, we've been screwed for so long that we should smell the dick coming.. Yep, I smell it already..
This is a slippery business indeed, there is no solid methodology for assessing this theory of ever changing markets and future losses.
The reality is that, as usual, the companies will pass the higher prices on to the consumer, while reaping corporate welfare from the government.. How sweet is that deal ?
As it turns out, there's real-world evidence that privatizing the climate windfall would be a serious mistake. The European Union gave free emission permits to coal-burning utilities, and the undisputed results were windfall profits for the utilities, higher prices for everyone else, and zero public benefit.
The climate debate is no longer about science. Increasingly, it’s about what to do with the climate windfall. Stripped of verbal niceties, the choice is between the common good and private gain.
The Green Dividend.. Manna from Heaven... My Ass, the only people getting rich here are Al Gore's Carbon Credit Corp and the Government.
I can smell it now..... How about you ?
Wake Up America !!!
