As vice president, Al Gore led the negotiations to establish the U.N. Kyoto Protocol in 1998. The Kyoto Protocol was a "climate treaty" ostensibly designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by the signatories during the period 2005–2012 to a level equivalent to 95% of each country's 1990 emissions. While it did not introduce any new scientific means to reduce CO2 emissions (worldwide CO2 emissions grew by 32% during the period), the Kyoto Protocol introduced a novel economic concept: the trading of carbon credits and offsets.
At first, the concept of trading carbon credits was straightforward; it was known as "cap and trade."

This "greenhouse gas" theory is all about the money. The scam has been going on for 40 years and has nothing to do with global warming. Environmental controls were useful initially for cleaning up a few rivers and improving air quality in a few very heavily populated metro areas. That problem was solved with a few measures taken in the 1970s. CO2 is not a problem and there is no climate emergency.

Are these authors really so desperate that they try to make Captain Obvious look scholarly?

The scam here is so obvious that it stretches credulity to believe that people are genuinely fooled and don't see it. CO2 is created in proportion to economic activity not breathing humans. The US which is the locomotive of the world economy produces 27% of the world's human generated CO2 (naturally occurring CO2 is another story) and has 6% of the population. If 'carbon credits ' are assessed on a population basis the US has a 'deficit' of 21% - a source of trillions of dollars. Democrats and globalists in this country are buying that argument and are complicit in imposing trillions in taxxes

It is a total fraud. Unfortunately, Mitchell didn't do his homework and understand an important chemical characteristic of carbon dioxide - it lacks the ability to absorb and hold heat.

If John Kerry has anything to do with it , it's crooked.

This huge fraud is mainly about CONTROL. Yeah, the ne'er do wells in our society, including many so-called "scientists", are A-Okay with getting rich too. Those who support this clownery are the most despicable group of grifters, megalomaniacs, and decidedly low watt bulb politicians and their mental midget supporters. Ultimately though the commies are calling the shots so as to bring down the U.S., and enslave the rest of the world in the process. Anyone with a brain knew this was a scam when they classified CO2 as a pollutant.

Heres a greenhouse gas news flash. I have a burn pile in my yard. A few times a year I have a big bonfire made of fallen limbs, scrap wood, tree and hedge trimmings and various other yard waste. All the neighbors have one too. Guess what? The air is still clean.

100% true.
At the same time, my fervent hope is— at least at this point— that Donald Trump, flawed as he is, will get into office and begin to roll back the tsunami of lying BS that has been driving the economic and foreign policies of the United States for so many decades.
The ruling class in Washington are a kakistocracy.
One can forgive big business for just rolling with the punches, here; they’re under the thumb of policy, like any other taxpayer, and are smart people who are not driven solely by ethics.
Once it becomes too expensive for them to lie, cheat and steal (ex., the, “market,” in, “carbon credits”) they’ll stop doing it.
The American voting public is a different thing entirely; having been stuffed, for generations, with both nonsense, drugs, and a bad diet, they are completely unequipped to understand history, and because of that, what these current lying manifestations portend.
On the other side of ignorance is the liberal intellectual mandate, convinced, as they are, by the postwar existentialists that everything consists of a, “narrative,“ and nothing is demonstrably, “true.”
This is a tougher nut to crack, as it has resulted in an enormous cohort of Americans who believe it is a virtue to be unethical, and to abandon the search for objective truth and goodwill for what’s personally profitable. I don’t know the answer to that one.
I wish people read more, I wish people read more widely, and I wish people had a better understanding of history, as well as practical mathematics and engineering, but just like it took a couple generations to make us this stupid it’s going to take a couple more generations to make us smart, again.
Maybe one of the benefits of the Information Age is that we can turn this ignorance around, faster.
Lately, I’ve been thinking of Theodore Roosevelt, and how he turned the tables on JP Morgan after he got into office.
That’s the kind of character that we need— not that we betray our trust to others, but that we are ruthless in establishing leadership that puts the American people, and the United States, first.
Allegiance of that kind, actual, rather than situational patriotism, is sorely missing in our political leadership at present.
Postscript, I’m hopeful that even the most benighted American voter can see the enormous gulf between what has been alleged against President Trump, versus what is demonstrably true of President Biden.

When all of the 'climate' adherents quit flying around in private jets, sell their yachts and downsize to one small house and the hair sniffing grifter residing in the White House converts his multi vehicle motorcades to all EV's, I might start believing it's not all about the money!

"Smoke and Mirrors"... They are LITERALLY buying and selling Smoke.
Or more precisely buying and sell air.
I am waiting for these estimators and calculators to tell us all just How Much carbon was released by the wildfires making all of the headlines worldwide...in comparison to the "Man Made" levels. Next thing I anticipate seeing is, bigtime carbon offset investors buying up the land, or "carbon rights" at all of these fire sites, brand NEW plant growth is exponentially more carbon/air cleansing than climax forest/prairie.
I haven't figured out just how some of this gets monetized and at what rates but...a Royal Bank of Canada executive paid $1000acre for my 300acres in upstate new york just to harvest it's Carbon Credits. This is land that has already been fallow for 40 years, It has a 1828 6 bedroom house on it that the new owner has no intention of ever using. Taxes alone on the place are $8000+ per year.

When we lived in Montana, we couldn't wait for "globull warming." It was called spring and summer.

I remember when they first tried to impose 'cap and trade'.
AlGore tried to get laws passed that 'carbon credits' could only be traded on ONE exchange, and HE was to be the owner.
Can you imagine the flow of free CASH he was trying to skim from all of us?
Every trade would be charged a commission, that went straight into AlGore's Pocket!
What a CROOK!
Today, China has, on average, put TWO large new Coal-fired power plants into service EACH WEEK for the past year.

China presently has THREE HUNDRED new Coal-Fired Power Plants 'In the Pipeline'.

All this 'Carbon Dioxide is Evil' talk is a bunch of FECES!
Period!
