The Story of Cap-and-Trade. Commentary by Kate Sheppard, Mother Jones, December 2, 2009. "Annie Leonard, creator of The Story of Stuff, a popular web video that argues against consumerism, released a new video yesterday on cap and trade. Like her earlier effort, The Story of Cap and Trade features engaging narration and cute, easy-to-understand comic sketches to explain an extremely complex issue. The problem? Leonard vastly oversimplifies cap and trade and its problems. The video blames the current difficulties surrounding cap and trade entirely on the policy itself, not the lawmakers and special interest groups seeking to load the legislation with exceptions and giveaways... The estimable David Roberts has a thorough take-down of the video at Grist, which I recommend."
