Bad Deal for the Planet

“Squaring the Climate Circle: A New Politics of Solidarity Can Heal a Divided Planet,” begins on page 16 of Bad Deal for the Planet: Why Carbon Offsets Aren’t Working… and How to Create a Fair Global Climate Accord, a 2008 report by International Rivers that also includes Patrick McCully’s critique of the Clean Development Mechanism: “The Great Offset Swindle: How Carbon Credits are Gutting the Kyoto Protocol, and Why they Must be Scrapped.”   The two go together quite nicely.
