How much longer is this widespread rip-off going to be allowed to
continue?
"Billions wasted on UN climate programme
Billions of pounds are being wasted in paying industries in developing
countries to reduce climate change emissions, according to two
analyses of the UN's carbon offsetting programme.
Leading academics and watchdog groups allege that the UN's main offset
fund is being routinely abused by chemical, wind, gas and hydro
companies who are claiming emission reduction credits for projects
that should not qualify. The result is that no genuine pollution cuts
are being made, undermining assurances by the UK government and others
that carbon markets are dramatically reducing greenhouse gases, the
researchers say.
The criticism centres on the UN's clean development mechanism (CDM),
an international system established by the Kyoto process that allows
rich countries to meet emissions targets by funding clean energy
projects in developing nations.
Credits from the project are being bought by European companies and
governments who are unable to meet their carbon reduction targets.

There are a total of 86 recent contributors to this group, so that
puts an upper limit on the number of single braincell contributors.
However most contributors can write understandable sentences, and
argue good points. This means that I can count the number of single
braincell contributors on the thumbs of both my hands.

About as long as this current socio-political fad continues, I would say.
