Yeah, that's the ticket

From this article:
The report also suggests that allowing carbon-constrained U.S. firms to trade credits with firms in China or India, where emission reduction measures are relatively inexpensive, would yield an estimated U.S. carbon price as low as $15 per tonne rather than $40 per tonne, thereby saving the American economy about $145 billion per year in increased energy costs.
So while the Earth appears to be cooling, we should pay real money to China for highly-questionable "emission reductions" that would, at best, "cool" the world by an additional amount too small to measure? And while we make those payments, China would continue to build two new coal plants per week?!
