“A Critical Conversation on Climate Change”
A few weeks ago, I attended a lecture by Larry Lohmann, the editor of “Carbon Trading: A Critical Conversation on Climate Change, Privatisation and Power.”
I entered being a strong supporter of cap-and-trade systems and left — although not 180 degrees altered — seriously more critical of such initiatives and generally suspicious of existing programs. And while he certainly hasn’t completely turned me off of cap-and-trade system, his work and conversations have seriously convinced me that superior alternatives exist that should be pursued, despite being less appealing to business and old media.
He was interviewed by Paul Jay on the Real News last week and spoke eloquently, as usual, on the challenges of carbon trading systems.
