You are absolutely right. Carbon Credits is nothing more than the old Barter scheme, and New Zealand bought into the myth. I believe the idea was dreamed up in the now defunked Enron as a way to make money.

The solution is simple for any country that is an industrial operator by law cannot function unless preventative measures are put in place to lower the junk into the atmosphere. Sure there is climate change and no doubt in the last 100 years we have as mankind contributed to this natural phenomenon.

Next some-one will dream up the idea of the average human and how much they breathe in or out and we will e taxed for that. Carbon Credit system is just big money for big business that benefits no-one and cripples eventually a country and its’ people.

Very informative Marie

”However 2005 forecasts showed New Zealand more likely to be in a carbon deficit, requiring credits from other countries. Under the Emissions Trading Scheme however, it appears that a few industries will benefit financially, without pollution being reduced.”

Yes New Zealand would be in deficit it seems, buying credits from other countries. Thats not good we are not the most wealthy of Nations. Also it has to start at the core, industries know how to clean up their act, just the will to do so, if not make it law and abolish Carbon Credits.
