 | Adultery trading This started out as an entry to the Davos Question, but I thought the focus was too narrow and the "answer" to the question way too unpalatable for mass consumption, not to mention far too preachy. But I'd spent some time on the animation, so it's now a general rant against Emissions Trading. No doubt there are some holes in the logic, and this is, by necessity, a one-sided view. However, I believe it is significant that we're emitting just as many greenhouse gases as before, but we're trading more and more every year. That means we're simply juggling the figures: at some point, we'll run out of pollution credits and have to decide whether to break the agreement, or shut down a lot of our industry overnight. |

 | Emissions are too costly? NZ Institute of Economic Research says the Governments proposed carbon emission trading scheme will cost New Zealand millions of dollars and thousands of jobs. - Yep - Of Course it Will!! The Institute wants the scheme put on hold. Based on their figures - parts of the economy will have tanked by then due to the implications of constrained energy inputs anyway. So maybe it's moot. |

 | The Emissions Trading System - putting a price on carbon European Commission production: "The EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) is a world first and a major weapon in Europe's fight against climate change. The innovative system has turned carbon dioxide emissions into a tradeable commodity. They can now be bought and sold like any other of the thousands of products traded on world markets today. The scheme works by placing a limit or a 'cap' on the amount of carbon dioxide participating installations - currently around 10,500 across the European Union - can emit every year. If an installation emits more than its allowance, it must either pay a very hefty fine or buy surplus allowances from companies that have managed to stay below their limit. The system ensures that overall CO2 emissions from the plants covered are cut in the most cost effective way. The video report shows: Factories and sources of CO2 emissions Renewable energies' systems ABN-Amro trading floor Pernis' Shell oil refinery (Europe's biggest oil refinery) DSM chemical plant Interviews with key figures including: Tomas Wyns, Climate Action Network Europe Jos Delbeke, Director for Climate Change & Air, DG Environment, European Commission Sara Ståhl, European Climate Exchange Gerhard Mulder, ABN-Amro Annemarie van der Rest, Shell Marc van Doorn, DSM Julia Williams-Jacobse, Dutch Environment Ministry Dr. Bert Metz, Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change." |
