Quote	"Firms participating in a worldwide carbon scheme already abuse it by artificially inflating their greenhouse gas emissions, which allows rich nations to boost emissions, Reuters reports. For example, chemical plants maximize production of a potent gas because of a financial incentive – getting paid via the offset scheme to destroy the same gas. The U.S. needs cap and trade like it needs another oil spill."
