The proposed solutions to GW are. Politicians will play a significant part in distributing carbon credits. And you said it yourself:

Subsidized by whom? Private companies that only exist because of government money really aren't private.
I disagree with the OP that it's a scheme to control capital, I don't think it's a scheme of any kind. I just think politicians happen to absolutely love an issue with an absolute evil and a very difficult and expensive solution. No matter how much, the other guy will never be able to do enough.
My main beef with GW isn't the science. I think it's highly entertaining to follow stuff like ClimateGate, but my beef is with the politics. "Solutions" to GW invariably includes hugely expensive government programs.
- Tamerlin 17y ago"hugely expensive government programs" That phrase is redundant. Edit: grammar
- arohner 17y agoNot entirely. It's a scale, that goes from "expensive" to "mind boggling expensive". There's just plain expensive (The V-22 Osprey program), and then there's really expensive (The total expenditure of the Social Security program, from inception to 2050).
- Tamerlin 17y agoI know... I was making fun of government contracting. I worked for various government contractors for around six years, so I feel like I'm morally obligated to make fun of the whole thing whenever I can.
- tome 17y agoThe proposed solutions to GW are [government plans] Supposing that AGW is real and a problem. It is then a global collective-action problem. What options are there to solve something of that scale that doesn't involve governments? I'm genuinely curious.
