An op-ed in a UK paper

An opinion piece in The Independent argues that carbon trading is not the most effective way to reduce emissions, and is in fact counterproductive.
I've been known to make this argument myself, so I'm glad to see it in a major UK paper. (It will be quite a wait before we see it in major U.S. media.)
