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.

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.

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.
