The proceeds would be in the trillions, because legislation would enable carbon credits, given enforced value through legislation, but having no real value, to be traded among entities forced by legislation to acquire a worthless item.
At least the fraud in selling worthless mortgages caught up with the perpetrators, and there was a subsequent shakeout of the market, and cessation of selling fraudulent securities.
If the AGW fraud succeeds, the enforced sale and purchase of worthless carbon credits will continue to drain the economies of the Western world, or at least where the scurrilous legislation is passed.
That will not include countries with honest government, of which at the moment there is only one, the Czech Republic, where the President has told his constituents the truth, that AGW is a fraud. Only one nation!
The President Vaclav Klaus says that he has approached many world leaders, to persuade them to tell their constituents the truth, and has been uniformly rebuffed. He has written a book, “Blue Planet in Green Shackles” to explain the fraud, and recently congratulated Professor Ian Plimer on his book “Heaven and Earth” which exposes the fraud, and is a best seller in three countries.
There are reasons to hope that the truth will prevail, and the attempted fraud will fail.
That the push for this fraud continues in the face of a complete absence of any scientific base for the assertion of anthropogenic global warming is breathtaking.
There is settled science which demonstrates that all warming is accounted for from natural sources, and there is no room, scientifically, for the assertion that human emissions have any measureable effect.
