This post came from a chat with Brendan of I Hate Linux. It confirms the cap-and-trade bill pushed by President Obama.
We are doing it for Europe
When Europe says “global warming,” they mean “Russia.”
The transposition works almost every time.
X is a threat to civilization; X is a threat to humanity; X is a threat to small nations; X must be combated by all developed nations.
Obama’s cap-and-trade is basically a way for us to assure europe that they won’t be at a compettive disadvantage if they throttle-down on Gazprom deliveries.
You sure it isn’t global warming AND Russia?
Definitely. There’s a correlation of forces involved.
