XM MLB Chat: Best Buy joins Soros cap and trade pressure group, so I'll shop elsewhere

I've bought several computers from Best Buy and was getting ready to buy another until I read they joined a George Soros group called Biceps to pressure the US into cap and trade legislation. Cap and trade makes the rich richer via carbon "auctions" and carbon trading. Catastrophic man-made global climate change does not exist but would not be cured by a fake stock market selling crime infested carbon offsets anyway. Best Buy's statement about its advocacy:

"Laura Bishop, Best Buy's senior director of government relations, said in a statement. "We are honored to join BICEP in their efforts to

advance legislation addressing climate change and promoting a clean energy economy."

Among the group's nine founding principles: setting short-term and long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets, adopt a national renewable energy standard,

establish a cap-and-trade system and

restrict construction of coal-fired plants only to those that capture and store CO2."...****

One handy re-education tool in the article is use of the term

"energy footprint" as synonymous with "carbon footprint."

This provides for eventual death of the entire carbon endangerment scheme allowing the idea of "energy" awareness alone to keep global carbon trading scams alive.

Best Buy is among those who think this approach makes them caring and compassionate stewards of the "global commons." Perhaps not, perhaps they're just an average scared company who agreed to be shaken down.

Care of the environment is important but completely different from the CO2 endangerment industry which cares nothing for the environment. The two separate issues have recently been presented as one for the benefit of billionaire hedge funds, "green" funds, and the like. Environmental awareness should be the normal course of events. We obviously need to care for our air, water, and land and be aware of their natural changes.

Normal environmental care has been blended with the vast industry created around a 'carbon footprint' for the purpose of enriching
hedge fund billionaires and others.

The idea of CO2 endangerment is being used as an excuse for a global stock or commodity scheme trading 'carbon offsets' which can't cure the environment, and doesn't claim to.

The 'climate industry' can make more money if people believe a preoccupation with CO2 is part of everyday care of the environment.
Carbon markets are already the biggest profit centers at investment banks in Europe.
Trillions are already at stake in 'climate' related hedge funds who planned on making even more from US taxpayers. One fund alone has $8 trillion on the line including public employee stakes.
Organized crime has found carbon markets to take over.
The need to care for the environment should not be confused or hijacked by carbon trading profiteers. ed.
