this first generation of carbon trading laws and regulations are indeed wonky and flawed. but it is a start at setting real costs for environmental impact, setting precedent for quantifying the dollar value of things like forests, stream, oceans, etc, instead of always pushing those costs upon future generations.
This is good for people and the environment upon which they rely, bad for corporations.

Your argument is well stated , but some believe from experience its the new tax for the Rulers to maintain their wealth income , whilst constricting the common person and squashing them under the burden of poverty.
Do we really think the Corporations are going to be penalised in the real world?
The western governments are near bankrupt as the private sector such as mining are making untold billions in nations such as Australia selling to the rapidly emerging number one economic powers China and India.
IT IS A TAX< IT IS NOT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT, they are in fact taking ownership of the ENVIRONMENT....think about it all please everyone , this is the con of the millenium.
