In california, we have an “air police” called the central california regional air quality control board. It is part of their rules, that a company, if they spend money to reduce their emissions by x amount, will have certain amount of emission “credits” available for “sale”. These credits can be bought by a company that does not want to spend money for upgrade of their operation (perhaps they intend to stay in business for only a short while more). The purchase of these credits cannot be done directly from seller to purchaser..these transactions are controlled by the air quality board, of which they get a “cut”..that means “MONEY” to the uninitiated. What they have done is create, with their regulations..money literally out of “thin smoggy air”. So, it’s the same old story..the politics of global warming has nothing to do with actual global warming. These are credits “+” given to these nations so they have something to sell. Now, I haven’t read the Kyoto treaty, but I’m willing to bet that there is a mechanism in place to moniter/regulate these credits..the bottom line, someone is going to make a lot of money..Remember..if there is no profit to be made..there will be no regulation. A side note..look at the privatization of water in Africa..The world bank won’t lend money to poor nations unless they privatize their water..if you trace back to see who heads the world bank, plus check out who runs the largest private water companies in the world..you’ll get the picture really quick. This is my opinion.

The Kyoto Protocol in the EU: European Community and Member States under International and European Law $108.88 The participation of the European Community and the Member States in the international climate change regimes is a complex issue.
