If City's like Boulder and Longmont set zero tolerance for carbon emissions they will not solve the carbon emissions problem one iota, but will make the former Vice President Al Gore and the " Green' Goonies" rich. Are you willing to sacrifice and transfer your wealth into their bank accounts? That is what people are lobbying your City Council to approve as you read this. Climate change is being caused by mechanisms outside our control but the former Vice President Gore and cronies want Americans to take the blame and responsibility to fix what they cannot. Meanwhile he and his wife Tipper, whose children all live elsewhere, will continue to reside in a behemoth 20-room mansion outside of Nashville that used nearly 23,000 kilowatt-hours in just the month of last August. Their home consumes more than twice the annual, yes annual, energy usage of a typical Boulder or Longmont home. The sales pitch is not based or science or logic, but propaganda to make you and your representatives on Council feel guilty.

Our politicians are poised to swallow the blame America first lie hook line and sinker. Why not demand of those in office and elect those wanting to be in office to get off their backsides and instead of cheap political rhetoric blaming American first (us the consumers and tax payers) first for all the world's ills actually do their jobs by requiring government to investigate the real problems, the real issues and come up with real solutions? They can stop making excuses by causing Government to use the National resources and going after the real source of carbon pollution. They can use the bully pulpit in the President's Office, demand the support of both Houses of Congress and use diplomacy instead using the present confusion to implement socialism with its redistribution of the wealth. Socialism may sound good but the only ones to profit will be the lining of political pockets and their cronies instead of public benefit. The University of California San Diego reported a year ago in March that transported black carbon soot and other particulate pollution from Asian sources that makes up more than 75 percent of black carbon transported at high altitudes is a significant player in Pacific Ocean Climate Change. Soot and other particulate pollution from Asian sources make up more than 75 percent of black carbon transported at high altitudes

Blaming American first does not go after the source of climate change, if man made carbon emissions are actually a cause, but it does mean a decline in standard of living for Boulder and Longmont families to 3 rd World Standards irrespective of when oil peaks. Even the oil peak can be stretched out to lighten the burden, why should China slant drill into American Oil supplies, burn the fuel to cause carbon soot over the pacific and degrade life with inefficient refineries, factories and end product uses in the United States? Why shouldn't American fuel be used in "clean" burning equipment rather than Americans being reduced to a standard of living below our great-great grand parents before the oil age a hundred years ago? The oil peak means the end of an age, not the end of the world and reduction to survival mode to exist. This hype is being used by demigods to take power over our lives. Families who want to maintain today's average American standard of living over the survival level "Go Local" represents, means the average Boulder and Longmont home owner will have to buy $276,000 a year in carbon credits to counteract their carbon emissions!

Instead of living in a dirt shack or tent, how will the average Boulder and Longmont households pay for this green insanity? One way of course is to pay for socialism with capitalism. The New York Times suggests you simply invest in the Carbon Ponzi scheme commodity market to earn your $276,000 a year to purchase your credits with. The New York Times ran an article in November claiming that "carbon will be the world's biggest commodity market, and it could become the world's biggest market overall." They report the carbon commodity market was currently valued at over $30 billion, that carbon trading market is set to skyrocket to over $1 trillion as the price of carbon becomes more and more valuable. That will be made possible by your City Council for example arbitrarily and capriciously Going Local!

Now it's possible, the Times reports, to get a piece of this infant industry right now. Early investors can play the burgeoning carbon market by:

1. investing in carbon credits themselves, or
2.investing in companies that are making extra cash by reducing their emissions.

There's no telling just how lucrative this market will become, they ask why else would huge companies like GE, DuPont, and Johnson & Johnson be racing to reduce their emissions? It's because of the huge profits that stand to be made.

The Times recommends the Green Chip Reviewso the sharks can send you the urgent details on this new socialist commodity market:

Maybe its time for Longmont and Boulder City Councils to get a dose of reality before taking the community down the Green Goonie path.
