There is a great argument that global warming is not man-made. But there is no denying that global warming is occurring:

please enlighten me on my view that
Even if global warming is a danger and man made, Cap and Trade makes no sense as all it will do is result in less carbon emission from the US and increases of carbon emission in foreign country's that will expand production on virtually everything minus solar panels, wind mills and any other US subsidized industry that in essence will serve as a second tax Cap and Trade provides. Since their factories are far less efficient and their power plants less regulated I'd say more carbon will be produced. More US jobs, specifically in the production and transportation industries will be lost. (Will Mexican trucking and foreign shipping companies be taxed? How about Chinese factories and coal plants providing energy to those factories)
