Well, there's that explanation, of course.

But what really confused me is that we have been told that pollution is the
cause of global warming.

We have also been told that tax cuts decrease revenue to the government.

Finally, we have also been told during the last election cycle that the US
was losing jobs at an appalling rate.   (Actually, we were told that tax
cuts were causing job losses and that not signing Kyoto would increase
pollution.)

I suspect your confusion is due to the fact that one story is about the
changing transmissivity of light through the Earth's atmosphere and the
other is
that tax receipts are likely to exceed expectations. The two stories are
just
hard to mesh into one comprehensive worldview, so your confusion is somewhat

natural and to be expected.
