Is carbon trading a good idea, or is it a lie?
Many companies which are major polluters are planning to use Carbon Trading to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. This is a complete confidence trick by the companies and their publicity department to make the company look good to their customers and stock holders. Is Carbon Trading a lie? See the Wikipedia information.

Carbon Trading is a complex subject, but is often about planting trees and other offset methods and is great for the climate, plus it helps manage climate change. But then to claim because they have done some good they can now carry on polluting as before is ludicrous. Pollution is pollution in any form, and must be reduced if the world is to have a sustainable future. Carbon Trading Video.

The major polluters in India, China, Germany, America, the UK and others must control the pollution caused by coal fired power stations and other coal fire processes. Coal burning is deadly and produces major greenhouse gases.
To manage and reduce the effects on Climate Change, companies are going to have to spend money, which given the current "profit at any price" focused mentality will not happen before it is too late. Laws enforcing emission controls must be mandatory, with very heavy fines. If the European Union can fine Microsoft for not doing what it was told ( about €900 million ) then the European Union can and should enforce pollution controls on coal fired power stations to reduce Climate Change and greenhouse gases. Is Carbon Trading the way?

The time for the general public to make their thoughts known, is now. Remember, if you do nothing, and everybody else does nothing, then in less than 50 years this world will be heading into a catastrophe where there is no going back. How are you going to explain that to your children. maybe there will no grandchildren to worry about.
