  • I'm not sure if this is a 'one sided view'. Theoretically, the CDM functions beautifully, but when monitoring the CDM projects that have been registered (which is what Carbon Trade Watch does), it becomes very clear that the majority of issued CERs come from the registration of industrial projects: chemical industries, oil refineries, etc.

    I suggest for those who consider this a "one sided view", please look at the unfccc registry and the CDM pipeline to inform your opinions.

  • nice!!!

  • So in the election they say they want to Tackle Climate Change I want to Talk to a Councillor or politician with this, Question How are you going to Tackle ALL!! Climate Change? When one very small Volcano brought us all to a standstill!

    And you think you can Tackle it ALL? LMAO! so why dont the just say the truth we want money off you and we ran out of Ideas and scare stories!

  • one sided views.....very unfortunate

  • highly loaded and a one sided view, CDM might have some flaws this guy is saying basically that CDM is a sham, which it is not. Very unfortunate

  • Can somebody provide me with a reference for the studies saying that 30-40% of CDM projects are non-additional?

    I need it for an essay and as much as I appreciate the work you guys are doing I need primary sources!

  • Quite an imaginative proselytism exercise! So CDM does not work because in the cases he describes there are flaws. Frankly, a few specific negative cases to not result in generalities of CDM. One tree being sick does not mean they are all sick.

  • Pretty decent overview of some key issues regarding the CDM
