Are these 'carbon offsets' tradable? How much is 1 off-set worth? Can I buy and sell 'carbon offsets' futures?

Might as well make some money on probable bull market.

Clearly things are heading that way, there is much talk of some carbon producers buying unused "carbon use" allotments from other companies.

So if I become a non-producing business, can I just sell "my own" carbon credits to other companies?

I was thinking more along the lines of buying stock in the companies that purport to sell offsets and fulfill them. The ones that plants the actual trees, or buy up tracts of land for wind farms. During the intermnet boom, people didn't go out and buy internets, they bought stock in Cisco and Netscape and AOL.
