This was the trick behind cap-and-trade: Politicians know that the only real way to reduce energy usage is to raise its price much higher.

And so the media circus for Pen Hadow's next alarmist publicity stunt begins. This time with a charming story about him hitting a polar bear on the nose with a saucepan - just a technique to soften the audience up before hitting them with some nonsense about ocean acidification.
