How does this fit with the BS "they" feed us on global warming?

[Winston001]

The trading schemes like Koyto and the ETS will do nothing but make those at the right end richer... it starts at home and teaching the generation that is coming home not to make the mistakes our generation have. The planet is on a very fine balance, and we as a population are a part of that, and we have to stay in balance... at present, we are out of whack...

Absolutely mate - and that is why the Kyoto agreement was reached, why we have the ETS, and why carbon trading is carried out in a lot of countries. Human activities which release carbon tend to also pollute the environment.

As for the money, Christchurch City Council earns $1 million/year by selling carbon credits to a British company. How? The rubbish tip at Burnside captures methane instead of releasing it to the atmosphere - and that has a value.

Even better, the methane is then burned to heat the QEII pool complex. It is a win-win situation.

If I can make money out of growing trees for the ETS rather than growing sheep & cattle I will jump at it.Treees dont need fertiliser, drench or an electronic I.D tag.I only need 1 cattle beast, 1 house cow, 2 prime lambs, chooks & the garden....you townies can fucking starve.
We do tend to forget that what were burning now in the way of fossil fuels will run out...then what? Wait around for a few million years for some more to form? Very good pod cast on National radio with David Suzuki a few weeks back so dont tell me that science & invention will come up with an answer in time.
Or is he part of the conspiracy to?
