The question of climate change has finally moved on from is it happening? to what should we do about it?.
There has been some great discussion here at Grist on carbon trading vs. carbon taxes (e.g., here or here).
For those who want more, Bill Chameides, chief scientist of Environmental Defense, was on Science Friday to talk about carbon trading. Check out the mp3 here.
Bill basically reiterates the points he made here on Gristmill a while back. But it's still worth listening to.
Andrew Dessler is an associate professor in the Department of Atmospheric Sciences at Texas A&M University; his research focuses on the physics of climate change, climate feedbacks in particular.

If you had read some of the entries here and on related blogs, you would realize many of us have already moved on to solutions.

Illustrious entities such as Hillary and Canada have employed one of them. Cutting subsidies for fossil fuel corporations and diverting the savings to tax credits for consumers who put part of their disposable income into renewable energy and conservation.
Raising taxes is political suicide. Trading carbon indulgencies doesn't seem to be cutting GHGs.
