Bunking one of The Left's cases for "Cap and Trade"

When confronted with the fact that the US is not even close to being the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gasses; that we infact come in well behind China in that realm. When these facts are presented in the CO2 tax/cap/trade/regulate/ debate we are often told the following:

"It's time for America to lead the way, when America begins regulating carbon, China and the others will follow our lead."

My response is, "Like they have on human rights?"

Call your Senator and tell them no on Cap and Trade.
