	Carbon audit regime - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A carbon audit regime is an effective means of accounting for greenhouse gas control efforts.
		It establishes that the claimed reductions in emissions, or carbon sequestration, has actually occurred and is stable.
		The UK is the only nation in the world that presently has such a regime.

	Carbon sequestration: Definition and links.
		Carbon sequestration is the uptake and storage of carbon in some medium.
		Carbon sequestration in plants, soils, and artificially in rock formations is a major means of greenhouse gas control[?].
		Scientifically, the carbon leakage or loss potential from various means of carbon sequestration is poorly understood.

	Carbon dioxide sink
		The idea is that growing vegetation absorbs carbon dioxide, so that countries that have large areas of forest (or other vegetation) can deduct a certain amount from their emissions, thus making it easier to achieve the desired emission levels.
		Other studies indicate that the cooling effect of removing carbon by forest growth can be counteracted by the effects of the forest on albedo.
		The carbon sequestration potential of soils is substantial.

	CO2 sink
		Other studies indicate that the cooling effect of removing carbon by forest growth can be counteracted by the affects of the forest on albedo.
		Planktons in the oceans, like trees, use photosynthesis to extract carbon from CO They are the starting point of the sea food chain, and it is believed that the carbon eventually falls in the bottom of the ocean when the animals die.
		In this method, carbon dioxide is pumped directly into the water, and expected to form "lakes" at the bottom.

	Two mysterious deaths in the Georgia's "Rose Revolution" regime
		It is questionable why carbon monoxide poisoning was conceded by the authorities as the cause of death without waiting for the conclusion of forensic investigations.
		Although the Shevardnadze regime had undertaken a number of measures to accommodate the US—it agreed to the building of the pipeline and the stationing of US soldiers and officers to train the Georgian army and equip it with American systems—it was considered by the US to be increasingly unstable.
		The true face of the new regime is now clearly visible: nepotism, thoroughly dubious business deals, plots, slanders, the continuing dominance of the profiteers who emerged during the Shevardnadze regime and the legalisation of their fortunes.

	WorldChanging: Another World Is Here: Taxes, Credits and Going Carbon Negative
		Mitigation of atmospheric carbon dioxide is generally thought of in terms of large-scale government efforts -- and often carries the whiff of heavy carbon emitters trying to get away from regulation.
		Carbon markets and emission trading regimes are part of the Kyoto Treaty, and international carbon emission markets have been active since early this year.
		According to Point Carbon, a website monitoring CO2 emission trades, today's spot price for a ton-credit of carbon is €19.42 (compared to the €40 penalty per ton companies face for exceeding limits).

		Car ownership is closely linked to income; under 25 per cent of lowest income households have a car compared to over 95 per cent of highest income households (Ref. 21).
		Carbon dioxide from vehicle emissions contributes to the greenhouse effect and global warming; other pollutants emitted from car exhausts have detrimental effects on air quality.
		This is part of a wider decline in walking that the Government is seeking to address not just on environmental grounds but also because of the detrimental impact on people's health of the reduction in the exercise that they are taking (Ref. 40).

	Features Item : Placing Value on Carbon (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Estimates for the global carbon trading market range from $10-$200 billion annually depending on the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, the number of countries participating in the regime, and the extent to which countries can rely on the mechanisms to meet their targets.
		The strength of the regulatory regime (both domestically and internationally), the transaction costs associated with project development, and quantity of excess emissions in the system will also significantly impact the value of a ton of carbon.
		It is the unit (probably measured as a metric ton of carbon equivalent) of emissions reduced, avoided, or sequestered from a CDM project and that has been certified by a formal body.

	Environmental Audit Committee Press Notice No. 17
		The Environmental Audit Committee, in its Fourth Report, considers that the priority at an international, as well as a national, level should be action to ensure that commitments to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases are met.
		A vital element is the agreement of effective audit and enforcement arrangements under the Kyoto Protocol.
		The Committee was established on 10 November 1997 to consider to what extent the policies and programmes of government departments and non-departmental public bodies contribute to environmental protection and sustainable development: to audit their performance against such targets as may be set for them by Her Majesty's Ministers; and to report thereon to the House.

	Greenspirit - Support Bjorn Lomborg - The Skeptical Environmentalist
		Schneider calls this theory “an alternative to carbon dioxide for explaining recent climate change.” However, neither the Danish cloud physicists nor I say that they are an alternative, but a supplementary explanation: “the sun as another important factor in the explication of increasing global temperatures” (SE:276, italics added).
		Lomborg’s creation of a 100-year regime for a decade-long protocol is a distortion of the climate policy process.
		Moreover, it is somewhat of a rhetorical misnomer to talk about “Lomborg’s creation of a 100-year regime for a decade-long protocol is a distortion of the climate policy process.” This extension I refer to actually comes from an article written by one of the lead-authors of the 1996 IPCC report, Wigley.

	EF Trading Carbon Conference 2001
		In Bonn, it was agreed that countries with binding targets – the industrialised nations of the so-called ‘Annex 1’ – that failed to meet their Kyoto emissions reduction goals would face tougher targets after 2012.
		Since July, it has demanded a figure of 33 million tonnes of carbon, compared to the 17 million tonnes (equivalent to 62.3 million tonnes of carbon dioxide) it was granted in Bonn.
		One issue that is unlikely to be high on the agenda – but will be closely watched by a number of national delegations and business observers – is that of the interplay between national emissions trading schemes and the Kyoto agreement.

		A National Audit Office report last week estimated that electricity bills would need to rise by 5 per cent, adding £1bn a year to household bills, just to meet the interim target of generating 10 per cent of the country's electricity from renewables by 2010.
		One approach to estimating the forcing effect of carbon dioxide in recent years is a technique variously called "attribution by exclusion" or "optimal fingerprinting".
		His 2002 article title ("Control of fossil-fuel particulate fl carbon and organic matter, possibly the most effective method of slowing global warming"), gives some indication of the significance of the failure of attribution-by-exclusion studies to include soot.
