| Abstract/Contents: | Defines carbon offsetting as "the act of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions." Mentions "the business of 'trading' carbon credits." Suggests that "the trading of carbon credits is a scheme to monetize global warming whereby polluters, factories or by buying or leasing credits from those, like farmers, who regularly take carbon out of the atmosphere." Also suggests golf course superintendents sell carbon credits created by grass plants, trees, and perennial plants. |
