The joke's going to be on you Wharfie: Message 25743499

You will not only buy your silly carbon credits, you will then pay for the higher cost fuels on which you depend. You will also increase CO2 emissions because efficiency will go down and fuel transportation costs will increase [it takes CO2 production to provide transportation for fuels].

Exxon will continue to make profits on an even grander scale because they are in the capital investment business so will make profits from the cap and trade rules. Marginal refiners will go out of business with their market share taken up by Exxon and others who can deal with the silly system.

It's amusing that you will increase Exxon's profits, increase motorists' costs, increase CO2 production and damage economic systems on which you depend.

The joke's on you Wharfie.

As a final joke, you will be buried in ice, clutching your carbon credits, because reglaciation is coming, like it or not.
