But the market is not regulated, leading to concerns that some of the credits do not represent real greenhouse gas reductions.
Regulated... unregulated... does it really matter?

Here we go.
"Warmists" have figured out a way to make $$$ out of it.

Favorite W.C. Fields line: He's seated on a train, shuffling cards and a gentleman takes a seat across from him at the card table and says "Is this a game of chance?"

I have got to get in on the supply side of this scam. Maybe offer a competing "Mounte Bank" carbon credit card.

This is going to be great theater after a while. When do you think the first carbon credit scandal will be revealed?
