This carbon trading is a complete joke. No matter how much they try and offset pollution by planting trees, they could never plant enough of them to do anything to change the levels, anyway. Takes a tree years to get to the stage that it's efficient enough to absorb large amounts of CO2 and yet they're trying to convince (rather effectively I might add) everyone that it's the greatest idea around and that it'll be one of the magic bullets. Anyway, the greatest carbon sink on the planet isn't the forests, it's the oceans and that's where the vast majority of the CO2 goes.
