Carbon Trees

Posted: November 29th, 2009 | Author: Jon Coon | Tags: , , | No Comments »

As I was passing through one of my favorite news sites, Frontline, I came across one of their recent World reports that focuses on the effects of climate change and in particular the impending  “trillion-dollar carbon trading market” that appears headed toward creation (See COP15).

I posted the first piece from “The Money Tree” below although if you watch the entire episode you will come across the Green Police and be forced to think ever more critically of the unintended effects of each action.

In the end I came away with many new questions but a clearer picture of how the process works in far away lands. I simply do not understand why the natives cannot stay on the land so long as they are not expanding…which may be part of the reason for their expulsion.
