He mentioned that 'cap and trade' won't be successful because nobody has the power to implement it.

That's not 'snotty and counterfactual'. Respond to it.

You probably want to go back and reread his cap and trade paragraph again, because I think you've misinterpreted it.

Thus "Cap and trade" and all these other proposals [...] give governments dictatorial control over industry and people's lives....and they bring us closer to a global government.

ie. cap and trade == evil world government
