Cap and Trade

Can somebody explain to me how cap and trade realisticaly does anything to save the environment?  It seems to me it’s just a tax on businesses the government randomly decides is bad and doesn’t guarantee any rewards to businesses the government deems good.

No rhetoric accepted, I need cold hard facts.
