Cap-and-trade won’t cut it provided by The Real News Network; With Obama support, the House Energy and Commerce Committee plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the US calls for the creation of a cap-and-trade market. James Handley from the Carbon Tax Center believes that cap-and-trade is a flawed system made worse by way of concessions to energy companies, big coal in particular. According to Handley, the bill is unlikely to achieve needed emission cuts, likely to create serious financial instability, and incapable of protecting the most vulnerable from its intended hike in energy prices.

Cap-and-trade won’t cut it, pt. 2 provided by The Real News Network; The Waxman-Markey bill, the Democratic Party’s climate change legislation, promises to reduce US emissions by 17% by 2020, and 83% by 2050. These numbers however, do not account for a practice known as carbon offsetting. Payal Parekh from International Rivers believes that the practice is counterproductive at best, serving to delay necessary energy generation changes, or dangerous at worst, putting communities at risk from megaprojects. Furthermore, offsets are unknown as a financial entity, and have already shown themselves in Europe to be candidates for financial speculation.
