Carbon Madness™-U.S. States Join Other Nations in Carbon Markets Partnership
2007-11-01
A coalition of European countries, U.S. states, Canadian provinces, New Zealand and Norway announced on Oct. 29 the formation of the International Carbon Action Partnership (ICAP) to address global warming.
Let the bureaucratic games begin! Let me make a suggestion: The name should be International Carbon Resolute Action Partnership (ICRAP).
ICAP will provide an international forum in which governments and public authorities adopting mandatory greenhouse gas emissions cap and trade systems will share experiences and best practices on the design of emissions Three Shells and a Pea trading schemes. This cooperation will ensure that the programs are more compatible and are able to work together as the foundation of a global carbon market. Such a market will boost demand for low-carbon products and services, promote innovation and allow cost-effective reductions so as to allow swift and ambitious global reductions in global warming emissions, officials said.
And Al Gorilioni will hold seminars on setting up these little trading schemes, heh.
The agreement was signed by U.S. and Canadian members of the Western Climate Initiative, northeastern U.S. members of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative also known popularly as the FARTI or Flatulance Air Reduction Triumverate Initive, and European members including the United Kingdom, Germany, Portugal, France, the Netherlands and the European Commission. New Zealand and Norway joined on behalf of their emissions trading programs.

Leaders attending the summit included: President José Sócrates, council of the European Union and prime minister of Portugal; European Commission President José Manuel Barroso; New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine, New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and Premier Gordon Campbell, British Columbia.
Fine, upstanding North American representatives.
ICAP seeks to open lines of communication for sharing valuable information, such as research, effective policy initiatives, lessons learned and new developments. The new partnership supports the current ongoing efforts undertaken under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, which all ICAP members agree has a central role in fighting global warming.
And fight it we must, and we will, and we will win, and be bathed in Glory!!!!

#2  Isn't Governor Spitzer a bit busy these days to take part in such silliness? He's got the driver's licence thingy, and I seem to remember something about illegal capers by some of his underlings... Besides, New York's economy isn't what it used to be; now isn't really a good time to add this kind of handicap.

Those clowns don't represent you, swksvolFF, unless Kansas is one of the U.S. states involving itself in this. I'm actually surprised Oregon and California didn't send representatives.
