The Reference Frame: Carbon allowances jump 32 percent after a vote

These carbon "markets" are totally insane because the price may brutally change all the time and it de facto changes mainly because of votes like this. So it's a market but a couple of 68 parasitic corrupt bureaucrats is de facto determining the price they want, by adjusting the caps appropriately. The potential for corruption – using the algorithms above or others (ones that may include shorting) – is nearly infinite. If there were a problem with the greenhouse gases, and there isn't any, a straight tax or extra CO2 fee would surely be a more honest solution than this market-that-isn't-a-real-market.

Seems he’s expecting a LOAD of cold to come down toward Montana with temperatures, IIRC, like 30 F below normal at the same time there will be temps like 20 F above normal down toward the South East.

When these two collide, things are to get wild.
