Carbon Con Game is a Con Job on Americans

The Carbon Con Game
by Peter Huber, Forbes Magazine

Since nobody can track twigs and cowpats, China's carbon accountants can make its renewable numbers come out anywhere they like. China is the largest emitter of greenhouse gas on the planet. We burn more carbon per person, but China has more people, and both its population and economy are growing much faster than ours. For many members of Congress, a vote for strict carbon limits will be politically suicidal if constituents continue to believe--correctly--that the vote will propel a massive shift of jobs, wealth and emissions from Peoria to Beijing.
