And no, it's nothing to do with putting catalytic converters on cars. Try to understand what carbon trading is. Its a hand-over of the right to use energy to the government. The government will issue energy-use permits to companies and people who follow its party line.
What you could very easily end up with is individual carbon allowances -- essentially a communistic issuance of licenses replacing the right to produce value. The hand-over of power is simply enormous, and you clearly don't understand just how much this will fuck your life.

You seem to be missing the point... the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 instituted "cap and trade" for Sulfur Dioxide... what is being proposed for CO2 is exactly the same... the current Sulfur Dioxide cap and trade program is considered a success... where is the communism? It's in the bullshit that you hear from the scaremongers... they are hypocrites who have supported the same types of policies in years past but now have chosen to try and scare people with it.
