It is highly probable that come the end of the year; the ETS or emission trading scheme will become more mainstream. Either that or a carbon tax at source.
These are the improbable targets. To keep the average temperature increase within 2c by the year 2100.
An easy target you might suggest. However to achieve this remarkable feat will require some remarkable changes. Somehow the world has do reduce global greenhouse gas emissions 40% by 2020. (ie 40% below 1990) OR RISK A 6C RISE instead.
Here in New Zealand, it should be noted that 50% of our emissions are in the form of methane gas. (ie farm animals)
How is it going to be possible to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and at the same time have a growing global economy?
