It adds up to a world total — a total that never changes with trade. But those who over-emit can buy rights from those that are below limits – in total we remain within the same world total, which is a cut below of what we emit today. That is all." So did you have in mind a decreasing cap over time in order to achieve the needed emissions reductions on a global scale? “Each wealthy nation has an emission limit.

It certainly is refreshing after reading so many detractor Chicken Littles, much like we saw in the 1980's when the US Chamber and Nat'l Assoc of Manufacturers presided over giving away US manufacturing. Strange, they are both at it again, having learned nothing. This is one of the most lucid defenses of carbon trading I have read.

In my case I'm selling my carbon offset on ebay to the highest bidder. You can view my auction here http://bit.ly/66mVTJ I think people need to stop knocking the world for creating a commodity that I can sell so easially. I mean, how many other people do you know that are trying to make cash off an intangeble asset like this? Any time we can reduce our carbon footprint must be good for the planet.
