Carbon Tax vs. Cap-and-Trade System

[Ban my account ffs!]

Cap and trade was basically 'here little companies and poor but well intentioned environmentally conscious individuals...hand all your money to people like Rajendra Pachauri and Al Gore who already have a lot!'

They should be in jail...both of them.

Neither...but if you must...just slap a fracking tax on it.  No more of this free market bullsh**t.  Every time its just a transfer of wealth upwards with the blessings of the 'left'.  Its absolutely disgusting.

Do you know what cap-and-trade is though? 

What about the NO_x cap-and-trade program?  Do you think we should tax NO_x and SO₂ instead?  What about mercury?  Should companies be able to dump mercury into the atmosphere as long as they pay a tax? 

I think trying the idea with co2 would need a lot better planning and oversight than the attempts so far, which have been failures that enriched a few people.
