Heat Rises In Copenhagen As Cap & Trade Deemed Too Inconvenient:
‘Trucker Caps’ are all the rage at this year’s Climate Summit. Although similar to a baseball cap, the front section above the bill of a trucker cap is made of foam and proportionately taller. The caps often contain humorous sayings & graphics on the front. Delegates to the Climate Summit have arrived prepared to Swap & Trade Caps amongst each other, with a number of Caps proving highly in demand and creating something of a frenzy even beyond Copenhagen.
According to OTCB editor Tom of the North, the #1 trucker cap for trade is from none other than right here — the good ol’ USA! (Did anyone have any doubt ours would be the most popular — we invented the damn things!)
Find out who’s trading big reserves for it, who got last place, the honorable mentions and the countries that absolutely blew it in 2009.
