   You really don't know shit,do you?   
      
   The only national carbon cap-and-trade exchange in the United States is   
   shutting down because of Congressional inaction on limiting emissions,   
   company officials say.   
      
   The Chicago Climate Exchange is a voluntary but legally binding greenhouse   
   gas emissions allowance trading system modeled after a federal   
   cap-and-trade program from the 1980s that successfully curbed emissions   
   tied to acid rain.   
      
   Intercontinental Exchange will lay off the bulk of the Chicago Climate   
   Exchange’s employees over the next few months, he said, and will replace   
   the cap-and-trade system with a less ambitious registry program for carbon   
   offsets next year.   
      
      
      
   Good. WTF good is a "Carbon Exchange", anyway?   
      
   Think about it, if you can: I own a company that employs 10,000 people and   
   emits 250,000 tons of carbon a year. I am allowed 175,000 tons, so I need   
   to make up 75,000 tons.   
      
   You have a company selling Warm Fuzzies, and have 120,000 carbon credits,   
   and you only use 15,000 to cover the farts issued by your Vegan office   
   staff. So, I buy 75,000 credits from you, and you sell the rest to another   
   company also over it's carbon limit.   
      
   Tell me...how does that help the environment? The SAME AMOUNT of carbon is   
   being emitted.   
      
   It was a dumb ass idea in the first place, and people are now just   
   catching on that is an Environmentally Friendly Ponzi scheme.
