Paying for Carbon Emission Reduction?

Posted December 14, 2009 8:32 AM

The preceding article is a "sneak peek" from Motion Control Components, a newsletter from GlobalSpec. To stay up-to-date and informed on industry trends, products, and technologies, subscribe to Motion Control Components today.

We can't really cut CO2 emissions by half if we don't know how much more CO2 was pumped into the atmosphere in the first place? What was the average amount of CO2 in the whole atmosphere before the industrial revolution?

These questions have to be answered before they even talk about reducing the CO2 in the atmosphere, if they get it wrong then we could be in for a very nast surprise.
