theblogprof: Global Warming "Methane Apocalypse" Fear Keeping A Readily Available Source Of Energy Out Of Reach

Well, you get the gist here. Joe Romm is the moonbat messiah of the global warming alarmist movement. Logically, you have got to realize that Earth's temperature has at times been far higher than it is now, thus impacting undersea methane hydrate stores. At some times in the past, I'm sure large quantities have been released. At other times not. It's a natural occurrence. It would be like moonbats trying to figure out how to stop volcanoes from erupting. Cap and trade that why don't ya!

"There are some calculations that it cost somewhere between $200 and $400 per ton of carbon dioxide reduced, depending on what assumptions are used," he says. "That's way above the market price of carbon and way above many, many other methods of reducing greenhouse gas emissions."

At the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative — an American cap-and-trade system that trades in carbon — carbon dioxide is selling for about $3 a ton, Gerrard says. In Europe, it's around $18 or $20. "So the market price of carbon dioxide trading is much, much lower than the cost of reducing a ton of carbon dioxide under the Cash for Clunkers program."

Poll: In Harry Reid's home state of Nevada, opposition to the cap and trade swindle

The Review-Journal poll also found that 50 percent of Nevadans oppose federal cap-and-trade legislation designed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and reverse global warming.

Forty-two percent of those surveyed support the legislation, while 8 percent were undecided.

Twenty-one percent of Democrats and 81 percent of Republicans oppose the carbon caps. Fifty-seven percent of nonpartisans are against the legislation.

Green Left - Why the climate sceptics are wrong

Like the apologists for the tobacco industry before them, the professional climate denialists serve the vested interests of wealthy corporations that stand to lose from widespread acceptance of the evidence. Only this time, the stakes are even higher.
