I dont see that what you are proposing Michael is any different from the existing carbon trading scheme, which allows for carbon sinks to be traded against emissions. Your proposal has the problem that it will not for a long time be possible to exactly balance emissions against sinks so some sort of quantitative total cap on emissions is needed as per Kyoto. My reading of Neurath a week or two ago prompted me to a rather different solution contained in the attachment.

Such industriousness through letting-be is a step on the way to humankind practising custodianship of the Earth. "Now, that's a topical piece!"
