Thanks BillK!  The whole thing is still really bugging me: the perfect storm
in DC, the collapse of the Copenhagen conflab, the new embarrassments coming
nearly every day for the world climate experts.  I had a great niche
business ready to go, and all this is spoiling it.  I was going to be a
carbon credit provider for global warming skeptics.  Oh it would have been
fine, and I would have made a cubic buttload of money.  I could have a
special line of products, such as a square meter of land, growing something,
anything.  Then if a city slicker wanted to drive a pickup truck and someone
gave her a bunch of trash about it, she could pull out the certificate and
say "Hey, I own a farm and this is a farm truck.  Do yooou own a farm?"  

Just think of all the stuff we could sell.  Looks to me like I could earn
subsidies for growing anything carbon-intensive instead of cash crops for
instance.  It looks to me like the wheels are coming off of the inconvenient
truth at a remarkable pace.  I fear there will be no more fortunes to be
made here.
