Carbon credit is a generic name, which means that the value is to replace or reduce emissions of greenhouse gases. A carbon offset is an emission reduction of greenhouse gas carbon or done to compensate for or offset emissions elsewhere. Carbon credits are measured in tonnes of equivalent carbon dioxide and may represent the six major categories of greenhouse gas emissions. A carbon offset represents the reduction of one tonne of carbon dioxide or its equivalent in greenhouse gas emissions.

It should just be a cap. No trading. Incentives for the amount under the cap.

Two sayings come to mind. The road to hell is paved with good intentions. Any tax increase will eventually cost all of us and make government larger. Be careful what you wish for. A larger government equals more government workers requiring more taxes, more government controls , less private business, less freedoms. If government was 100 percent efficient and infallible we wouldn’t have UPS or Fed Ex. Let yourselves be the power to change emissions by you what you buy and how you live.

I’m not a fan of cap and trade. If some areas are allowed to trade or purchase more “chips” couldn’t those same areas become very highly polluted while other areas remain pristine?

There is a lot of talk of Global Warming being a scam and being profitable for people. What businesses would profit from an increase in hurricanes, bad air quality, bad harvests, droughts, and the like?

I feel there is a great distrust of scientists. It’s unfortunate and to our society’s detriment that some people feel that they have to make a choice between God and Science. Newton, Darwin, and
a number of other scientists considered themselves to be men of faith as well as men of Science.

I think there is a certain amount of scientifically illiteracy
right now and that is a problem when discussing these kind of issues. For instance, the comment about the “planting trees because they turn Co2 into oxygen”. That is true(and information
we learned from scientific study), but how oxygen do they make?

It requires 22 trees to produce the amount of oxygen consumed by one person. (An acre of trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people). This data comes from the Northwest Territories Forest Management site: http://forestmanagement.enr.gov.nt.ca/forest_education/amazing_tree_facts.htm

Couple this with the fact that we are deforesting in order to make room for humans to live, to farm, and do business AND we’re emitting all kinds of CO2 besides our exhalations into the atmosphere…well, just planting trees and plants is not going to correct this.
