And yes, Bob Saunders, I agree with the comment on carbon credits. Not sure what you mean by 'ghg'?
Green House Gases, the guilty culprit, another name for those nasty carbons that are creating global warming, in many peoples eyes. A very hot topic here in Canada where most of the hot air as usually is coming from the opposition politicians, who like in most countries talk a good story but then once in power don't act. Lots of catchwords carbon sink...etc, but in the end most of us want our AC, large powerful cars and trucks, TV, Microwaves, computers, sound systems, and enough artificial sun at night to drive away the criminals. Currently Canada is taking a lot of heat at the conference in Bali for not signing our economy away in the interest of prevent global warming. In a country like the DR Conservation, alternative fuels, and co-generation should be the buzzwords. I personally don't think that we are have a positive effect on the world's atmosphere but science has not proven to me that we are causing global warming. I certainly remember Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, an grew up in a family that practised organic gardening, conservation, recycling...etc long before it became fashionable. Harrowsmith, and book by Robert Rodale were more common in our house that any other king of book. Education is the key in developing a sense of the correct processes to cut down on pollution, but the run chicken little approach is not effect. The only good thing about Algore is waking people up to the fact that we have a problem with our polluting ways.
