The idea then with Carbon credit trading has people like you and me essentially paying that extra cost.

This wasn't really my point, nor should anyone dismiss global warming because they don't agree with the carbon credit trading system. The only point should be is this: Global Warming is bad, and it's happening, and this is a sad fact. What is just as sad though, are powerful people who either do not believe it is happening, or do not care.
