Carbon Offsetting

From http://groups.yahoo.com/group/risingtidetribe/

It's now well known that off-setting is not all it's cracked up to be

(apart from its incredible ability for enabling celebrities, politicians

and business folk to sleep at night) and the only way to have a chance

of sorting out the atmosphere is to leave the fossil fuels in the ground.

For an excellent discussion of carbon trading and offsetting in a very

clear Q & A format see:
