Remember kids, if anything ever goes wrong with a market, it's just proof that it isn't really a market. Shift the blame, deflect the criticism. Our Lord and Savior, the One True Market, is infallible.

Dude, this "market" only exists because of regulatory intervention. You couldn't come up with something further from a "real market" if you tried.

But if you actually look at it, the market functions are working as expected given the constraints the creators put on it. It's just that they don't understand how markets work so they expected a different outcome.

Who fought for and shaped this allegedly-not-a-real-market? Was it the tree-hugging hippie scientists, or was it the polluting industries themselves seeking the least regulation possible?

When mandatory limits are in place and they fail, you can blame faulty regulations. When a market solution proposed by business and economists fails, that's on them. The market they fought for had a failure.

There is no natural market for carbon emissions.

That's true but the market doesn't have to be retarded either. Regular cap and trade emission markets are not natural but seem to work pretty well.

Note to zikzak, this would be a non retarded criticism of 'the market'

I think Apple deliberately makes gifs suck for some reason. They all run at half speed.

There is a 9gb or so gif that is about Obama's "you didnt build it" gaffe. I wonder what that would do.
