Climate scientist sues for defamation — The Daily Climate

“Dead” U.N. offsets slump further below 1 euro - News - Point Carbon
LONDON, Oct 23 (Reuters Point Carbon) – U.N. carbon credits hit fresh record lows below 1 euro on Tuesday as traders were wary of buying the near worthless units while EU lawmakers consider banning some of them.
Radio New Zealand : News : Business : Carbon credit prices sink by up to a third
Prices for some of the most commonly-traded UN-backed carbon credits, mainly from Russia and Ukraine, are down 30% in recent days.

The collapse in prices, which were already at record lows, came after the European Union signalled on Friday that it may ban its pollutors from purchasing the credits.

Online carbon trading platform managing director Lizzie Chambers says the ban threatens to flood the market for units.

Ms Chambers says New Zealand Units suffered after the collapse in the price of the UN-backed units and fell to as low as $2.60 on Tuesday.

Previously, the most recent trade of New Zealand Units on the trading platform Carbon Match was in September, when the price was $3.80.
