Where’s the Precaution?

While I am not necessarily a defender of the precautionary principle, I am discouraged at the disregard for its use in green economic schemes. After a quick Google search of the precautionary principle, the most prominent search results pertain to human activity and environmental health (Wingspread statement being the most dominate search result). The Wingspread statement reads:

While we realize that human activities may involve hazards, people must proceed more carefully than has been the case in recent history. Corporations, government entities, organizations, communities, scientists and other individuals must adopt a precautionary approach to all human endeavors. (link)

Where is the precautionary principle in government’s cap-and-trade schemes? We, at the present, have zero conclusive evidence that mankind is causing global warming (see here and here), but we do have conclusive economic evidence that environmentalist’s policies (i.e. cap-and-trade) will do severe harm to our economy while providing only minuscule, if any, benefits for the planet (see here and here). The decoy has been reveled. Anthropogenic global warming is merely a socialist agenda to take over the economy. Capitalism and freedom of choice are the environmentalist's preventive aim and government control is their principal.
