NEW FEATURE: Bury Heads in The Sandbag
Nov 30, 2009, 18:49
There's a new Feature article up in U-Know. It's about Sandbag, a new environmental organisation that wants to make carbon trading work as away to solve climate change.

Thing is, the carbon trading system is built to be acceptable to the desires of the high-emitting corporations. Which is why the 5 years of the EU's carbon trading system haven't yielded any real cuts.

Meanwhile, corporate lobbying has moved carbon trading to be the centrepiece of the forthcoming Copenhagen climate change talks. The effective solutions are not on the table, and the pressure to put them there will have to come from a desire to match what science demands instead of what big business finds palatable.
