Am I mad? Does anyone really believe this carbon trading bullshit actually means something? Do people really think it's some sort of magic pill which will fix the alleged climate change problems?

If the problems are as bad as we're being told (and you may have guessed I don't buy any of it) than arguing over 5% or 10%, this year or next year, etc is just a whole lot of hot air. Surely such semantics are a big waste of time if we really are hurtling towards oblivion.

I simply can't believe how seriously this is being discussed. As if it really matters one way or the other in the big scheme of things. We're a funny bunch, us humans. So self important and pathetic.
