Infro from the Sierra Club on a Cap & Trade forum.
How do we stop global warming? Come get up to speed on the broadest goal of the environmental community for the next few years. Forget the Kyoto protocol – CO2 cap & trade systems will take center stage. Did you ever wonder how to shift copious billions of dollars towards cleaner energy sources & more energy efficiency? Ever curious about auctioning carbon allowances or buying carbon offsets? Were you really pissed that some British utilities made out like bandits when Europe tried reducing their CO2 emissions? Are you curious about North America’s two fledgling regional cap & trade systems or the numerous proposals in Congress & from each presidential candidate? Did you scratch your head at Europe’s Emissions Trading Scheme when the price of carbon emissions collapsed to almost free? Did you wish you understood any of this? If so, this is for you! Come learn from national & regional experts, and help us reshape our cities, economy & way of life.

If we all take steps together, we can confront the challenge of global warming. Find out what role you can play by attending the monthly Cool State Forums—attend one or all seven. (See below for upcoming scheduled forums.) Possible statewide and regional solutions will be discussed, including “cap & trade,” tolling, solutions in schools and businesses, and a new green economy that provides good, green jobs.
