ETS is unethical and no better than gangsterism. It is absurd that countries with money to throw around basically killing the planet Earth and getting someone to do time on their behalf.

Wealthier countries will die of their own pollution while the poorer ones enjoy cleaner environment.

Lowest cost could boost emission cuts

Global warming is inevitable, because the excess heat from the sun is not utilised each day. Since about 75% of the earth surface is occupied by oceans, only idiots cannot accept the fact that the heat will warm up the water gradually, even without any human intervention. Concession to competitors that supply alternative renewable energy, NOT carbon tax will bring carbon emission down. Research grants should be given to work on genetically modified plants or trees which have large photosynthesis rate, that is, absorbs more carbon dioxide and returns more oxygen back to the atmosphere.
