For Farmers, Cap and Trade is a Permanent Drought Season » The Foundry

Most of our readers know cap and trade is an energy tax in disguise. The goal of cap and trade is to drive up energy costs so much that Americans use less. But there’s a fundamental problem with this.

BBC - Climate Change: The Blog of Bloom: Unpredictable weather: why the climate is not a model citizen

One of the awkward things about global warming is that there are no absolutes. No one can say definitively what the climate will do next. Anyone who thinks they can will probably end up looking like one of those TV scientists from the 1950s who said we'd all be holidaying in space and flying around in hover cars by now.

But why is it so very difficult to state anything with complete confidence about the behaviour of our climate?

They are hedging for a reason.
