I can't get over the sense of humor of the Drudge Report.
Top on their headlines at noon today was:
Senate's 'historic vote on global warming' set for Wednesday...
Snow likely...
I wasn't even going to read the article, but then I thought, I might as well see what it is about.
It took me to a local newspaper, The Baltimore Sun, and while it gives a mention of the vote in D.C., it seemed mostly about a Maryland initiative.
While it all sounds "rosey", one paragraph glared at me...
"Europe tried a pollution credit trading system to curb carbon dioxide emissions after it passed the Kyoto Protocol in 1997, and power companies worked the system to make billions in profits. Electricity customers paid higher bills, thinking they were contributing to a cooler planet. But their money just went into the pockets of the electric companies, which didn't end up actually cutting down on their carbon dioxide emissions."
I am afraid this is what we ALL have to look forward to...
Global warming = money for someone.
