Carbon Offsets
Without question, the planet has been getting warmer over
the last decades. Most ex-perts agree that changes
experienced- most drastically since the 1950’s- is
anthropogenic - or as result of human activities.|
This is mostly a result of the increased emissions of
so-called greenhouse gases
(GHG) including Carbon Dioxide, Methane, Nitrous Oxide,
Perflourocarbons (PFCs), Hdroflourocarbons (HFCs) and
Sulfur Hexaflouride. These chemicals impact with
different intensity and are genericall understood as
‘Carbon Emissions”.
The natural ecosystem is designed to handle carbon
emissions, for example, the oceans, forests and living
creatures ingest carbon within a cycle. However human
activity, unknowingly, has overburdened the natural
systems.
The goal of Carbon Offsetting is to bring down total
Carbon Emissions by capping emissions and then trading
the rights to emit. The market then brings down the
overall emissions by giving an incentive- the carbon
credits- to do so.
The Kyoto Protocol article 12 outlines the international
standard for carbon asset verification and trading.
There is experimentation with voluntary schemes in the
United States- such as in California and the New England
States- and will likely provide a blue-print for federal
standards eventually.
