CDM Moves Against Chinese Polluters, Carbon Credit Prices Rise : TreeHugger

The move is good news for those who want to make sure that carbon markets have integrity. The CDM has come under assault for years from both environmentalists who think it's a scam to allow polluters to keep polluting, and from climate deniers who see the system as an artificial market built on a false premise--that climate change is real.

Reflected Sunlight Shines On IPCC Deceptions And Gross Inadequacies

Moonlight is not light generated by the moon, but reflected sunlight. First astronauts on the moon were amazed by the brightness of Earth when it appeared over the lunar horizon. What they saw was Earthlight, which is also reflected sunlight. It’s sunlight that does little to heat the Earth because it goes directly back out to space. The amount reflected varies with changes to the surface and atmosphere. These changes are significant yet poorly measured or understood and pushed aside by the fanatic focus on CO2. Global warming due to humans is based on the hypothesis that our addition of CO2 has changed the balance of energy entering and leaving the Earth’s atmosphere. There are a multitude of factors that can change this balance, many ignored or underplayed by climate science. They get away with this because the public is unaware.

MinnPost - D.C. Dispatches: Peterson: Cap and trade "dead" in Congress - but not at EPA

BLOOMINGTON — Carbon cap and trade legislation is effectively "dead" in Congress, House Agriculture Chairman Collin Peterson told feed industry executives Monday, with the chief struggle over carbon regulation now solely being played out in and around the Environmental Protection Agency.
...
Ironically, while the carbon bill is dead, so too is a measure that would forbid the EPA from regulating it under the Clean Air Act.

Peterson and Missouri Rep. Ike Skelton were among those who proposed a bill to that effect. The measure wound up co-signed by a couple dozen Democrats and Republicans. Peterson reckons it could have passed the House had it made it to the floor.
