No Carbon Tax: Obama

1. You know what my standard for ending an internet discussion is? When the other person suggests I didn't read the link they posted. I read your link and found it to be thoroughly superficial in its argumentation at best and moronic self-serving denialism at worst.

2. Dude. I'm not even sure where you're going with your second point. "The pollution wouldn't go elsewhere if other places stood up to polluters like [the State of] California [has done in its cap-and-trade program]... - now that I filled in the obligatory blanks, does it make sense to you?

3.

i propose taxing and regulating polluters and if necessary providing grants to achieve standards. also more research & state development of non-polluting technologies, changes in building/development standards and other social changes as seem appropriate.

Umm...you do understand those are exactly the sort of things the State of California is already doing (or trying to do)? California is far ahead of most other states in this regard and as you should well know - cap-and-trade is a form of taxing and regulation! - http://www.green.ca.gov/ - Governor Moonbeam is delivering!

p.s.: - have a good week.
