I support going to Mars because I figure that's minimum safe distance when America eventually elects the Palin/Bachmann ticket (or its equivalent).

You're an idiot.

Seriously.

The whole idea of carbon credits and a market for trading various pollution credits is a dumb idea dreamed up by free market sycophants. Sadly some environmentalists in a desire to try and reach out to morons who whine about gov't regulation decided to go with the free market "solution." Once environmentalists got Democrats to go along with the stupid idea that Republicans/conservatives came up with, the Republicans/conservatives immediately turned on the idea and make this utterly predictable complaint.

Warren Piece?

Why is this news? Seriously, old technology lives on if it's useful. Even sometimes if it's not.
