I don't usually get into the political or environmental discussions here, but what the hey...
Whether we're in a real up-tick in climate change or simply riding part of a regular cycle that's been going on for millions of years, buying 'credits' so that you can keep adding to the 'problem' does nothing to address it.
I see Kyoto as a flawed global 'monetary policy' wrapped in feel-good 'environmental policy wrapping paper'.
If the world really needs to cut down on CO2, great, lets do that... But setting targets you can only meet by sending a billion dollar cheque from the Canadian taxpayers to God-Knows-Where-Country that has credits to sell so that some Tin-Pot Dictator can buy a new fleet of Mercedies' is really, really, dumb.
Spend that money at home cleaning up our rivers, harbors, lakes, abandoned lands, real polutants in the air, and on solutions that actually address a contribution to 'global warming'. :angry:
