UK and California agree carbon trading deal
In the UK, The Independent is letting us know UK and California agree carbon trading deal.
Britain and California are to sign a new carbon trading agreement, side-stepping opposition from President George Bush.
The agreement is a tentative first step to bringing California into the EU carbon trading scheme, whereby polluting organisations can buy credits from greener rivals. If successful it could open the way to other US states signing up, circumventing federal opposition from Mr Bush.
This is all very interesting. I’m sure we’ll hear more from the Governator on this. — DS
