But it is the carbon credits, devised for the Kyoto Accord that could be described as the biggest scam of all time that leads to the Canada Free Press lead, "Weve been had".
The accord may have been engineered in Kyoto, Japan but it was manufactured in sunny Costa Rica.
The blueprint can be found in a May 9, 1997 Earth Council media release, First Global Environment Commodity Goes to Market.
It happened at Braulio Carillo National Park, Costa Rica and was launched by former U.S. President Bill Clinton.
Clinton welcomed Costa Ricas launch of "the worlds first formal program to curb global warming through an international market in greenhouse gas emission reductions".
I wonder how much Billy Jeff Blythe got for the gig?
