E.P.A. Releases [Idiotic] Analysis of Climate Bill - Green Inc. Blog - NYTimes.com

The Waxman-Markey bill, also known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (PDF), will “drive the clean energy transformations of the U.S. economy,” and substantially reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, according to the E.P.A.’s review.

In a summary (PDF), the E.P.A. said it focused its analysis on the bill’s proposed cap-and-trade mechanism. It assumes that carbon prices would range from $13 to $17 per ton in 2015, and would rise by about 5 percent a year. By 2020, carbon costs would reach $17 to $22 per ton. That is approximately what participants in a European Union cap-and-trade program are currently paying.

Ok, I looked at both the full review and the summary. Where's the discussion of the temperature "benefit" that we'd allegedly get for spending all of this money?

If we're allegedly doing this to improve the world's climate by lowering the global temperature, how can this omission be explained?!
