Actually most scientists concur in their opinion that Climate Change is an actual phenomenon, so your comment is incorrect, and deliberately so.
That doesn't necessarily make them right, and it's way harder for somebody to get funding if they disagree with so-called Climate Change, thus minimizing any opposition to the notion. But you're not doing any service by trying to make it some sort of politicized "money grab." Trading carbon credits is no more Leftist than trading derivatives (toxic assets).
In fact, such money making schemes in bold new markets for the profiteers is usually associated with what 'faction' again? Not that it's strictly limited to them, but it is their main driving force, Conservative confetti to appease the masses aside,,,
