    Cuts in Carbon Emissions

    The UN climate talks in Nairobi have just ended with somewhat ambiguous conclusions. No deal has been made on another round of mandatory cuts in emissions to follow the Kyoto Protocol, and there's not even a clear timetable for negotiating these cuts. As some critical observers noted, the speed in which countries are willing to adapt to new realities is that of a snail. How do you consider the need of speeding up the process of emission cuts? Do you believe it is a helpful tool in combatting global warming?

    Re: Cuts in Carbon Emissions

    Dear Bart

    Is it true that some countries that are less industrialised and therefore produce lower levels of industrial pollution, that these smaller countries may "trade" their "carbon credits" (ie. the margin between how much they pollute and how much they are "allowed" to pollute) with countries who pollute in excess of their allowance?

    ie. can a country like mexico, china, india, brazil or any of the other sweatshops, can they "buy carbon credits" from countries like Malawi which are predominantly agrarian in economy?

    and if so, how do they pay for these carbon credits? for instance, is it in cash or in trade concessions?

    technology to run motorcars on ethanol or biodiesel exists. so too does technology to produce petrol from coal instead of oil...

    should countries that produce these fuels, be given extra benefits (trade or otherwise) to reward them for doing so?

    which had hoped the conference would be a shining braindump 70-642 example of what the UN is supposed to do best – uniting to combat injustice in the world, said the BBC's Imogen Foulkes in Geneva. Her colleague  described the walkout as a "stunt", arguing that people should have the right to criticise .

    I think its in trade concession as far as my knowledge is concern.

    If you are tired of the traditional look of your kitchen then why don’t you buy kitchen cabinets which are now available at an affordable price.
