As humanoids, we must sacrifice our species for the good of Al Gore and the planet. The science is settled!

@inertia186 A new lucrative trade could be in selling flubber credits to combat global increase of morbid obesity. If you eat too much more than a specific amount of calories considered healthy, you pay for Blubber credits. Someone who eats less can then sell those extra credits obtained by what they don't eat, such as someone going on a diet. This could be an incentive to lose weight for some, while the rich continue to gain weight. It could solve food shortages. Pay 3rd world to not eat.

good video...for more info on cap and trade, check out the public websites of "Reuters carbon" for example, or the Climate Task Force of the french Caisse des Depots (the research team is called "Mission Climat")
Cap and trade is a good start, but of course it can not be enough to succed with Kyoto or facing climate change...

It's sooo convenient for people like Kevin Rudd to pretend to be doing something by introducing "carbon trading." There are so many more important things we need to be doing. Like the idea of a "Manhattan Project" for solar panel technology... we can do it for a weapon of mass destruction, but we can't do it for something that could save the fricking world? Whats going on there?

Who issues the "credits"? How can you trade carbon credits like a comodity when it's a gas?
