I know that is a hard concept to grasp in the age of rape pillage and plunder.

It also does not mean we need to create huge new government bureaucracies and taxation schemes. In this case the cure is much worse than the supposed "disease". Cap and trade taxation schemes serve primarily as way for corrupt bureaucrats and politicians to enrich themselves and their well connected friends like most other government schemes. If you don't believe me then do some research into how cap and trade has worked out in Europe so far.
The whole thing is just one big swindle being perpetuated by the Marxist left and amoral bureaucrats who see an opportunity to increase their own power while lining their pockets. The only real question is why anyone would be stupid enough to fall for it.
