Carbon credit trading rewards countries for not producing anything. The easiest and most basic transaction involves paying some 3rd world potentate for not developing his country, or buying up some swath of 3rd world forest and placing it off-limits to development even by the people who live there.
Traditional colonialism involved relatively advanced countries taking control of relatively primitive ones in order to develop them. This Goresian scheme is a most perverse kind of colonialism, in which 1st world men in suits take control of the 3rd world in order to prevent its development.
I'm hoping that industries will be encouraged to assist in financing the real management of healthy Forests, fuel reduction near Forest dependent communities and investment in small biomass plants right here in N. CA and the Pacific Northwest. Congress sure doesn't seem to be willing to fund management of federal Forests. This would be far better than having the federal lands burn.
