As for Singer, the guy is a complete whore. His science is based on who has the deepest pockets.

I think I'd prefer a straight carbon tax too. But the thinking is that voters would not approve of another "tax". "Cap & trade" sounds more gentle, more market-like. To me that's retarded, but either method is better than nothing, assuming human-produced CO2 is a problem, and I believe it is based on the evidence that I've come across.
