It would produce enough money to cure all of our problems and extract funds from people who gleefully accept noted expert of all things, Al Gore and his dire warnings despite scientific evidence to the contrary.

Environmentalists are not like that at all. Mostly they want to be problems. Some of them are Gaia worshipers who think the goddess is angry and needs to be propitiated with human blood. Rational arguments are wasted on them.

If the above is true, then under any viable national cap, AGW (ceteris paribas) continues undiminished in absolute terms.

If both of the above are true, then why bother with any approach to reducing climate change?
