Someone calls by and changes your 100 watt globes for 50 watt globes and thereby can say they saved x tons of carbon...therefore this "credit" can be traded.

I was told..yes thats the way of it..

Why is this a con?

If this is the case and the number of carbon credits does not increase over time or only marginally increases, less than say the governments proposed 5 to 15% reduction, then this will allow the actual amount of carbon to be reduced.
