President Announces Formation Of Carbon Bank | Real Science

Neighbors who purchase a vehicle which gets less than 57 MPG
Neighbors who set their thermostat without getting EU approval
Neighbors who eat whatever they want without getting EU approval
Neighbors who criticize Obama
Neighbors who are unconcerned about their effect on the climate
