Yeah, sorry I couldn't come up with a snappy title to encapsulate the first point. It's hard to do more than scream "Hypocrite!" at them.

I'm very confused by the apparent change of mind buried in that second point too.
Ideas:

1. Cap and trade is becoming discredited in the newspapers (ironically as the system seems to be beginning to stabilise), so they want to avoid being associated with it?

2. Who loses out under working cap-and-trade?
