Carbon Offsets EnvironmentSources.com Topic Index Carbon trading — privatising the world’s forests Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 The World Bank sponsored carbon offset program has faced widespread criticism for, in effect, privatising forests and allowing rich nations to evade responsibility for cutting emissions themselves. Double Jeopardy: Carbon Offsets and Human Rights Abuses Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 Whether you’re a climate change denier or doomsayer, an avid recycler or rabid consumer of plastic bottles, there is one very good but little-known reason to oppose carbon offsets: their immediate and dire human costs. The great ‘success’ of a carbon trading failure Resource Type: Article/Report/Letter Published: 2009 The “right to pollute” has never been more affordable. Energy companies and market speculators can buy a tonne of carbon for less than the cost of a cup of coffee. The low cost gives an incentive for companies to pollute more in the short-term and prices renewable energy alternatives out of the market.
