[Greenbuilding] Global Warming and California

[Alan Abrams]

Apropos of this thread--the lead article in today's Wall Street Journal is
on the beneficial effects of working to achieve Kyoto protocol goals, in EC
countries in general, and Germany in particular.  Heavy industry and
utilities swapping carbon credits, implementing carbon efficient strategies,
and actually exceeded protocol milestones.  

But flashback to grim reality on the editorial page of the same issue--their
lead editorial bashes California for its carbon strategy.  

The mental disconnect is profound, no?

The trading of pollution credits is largely why Southern California had
the improvements (yes there have been improvements) in air quality since
the 1970's.

The credit buying and selling of credits that the proposed legislation
includes bothers me.  It sounds so much like bribery.  Anyone have a
more substantiated response than I?

The global warming cap in California is real, and would have teeth.
