Are we talking about that idea of allowing some nations to exceed emission limits if other nations don't meet their limits? And allowing governments to sell emission allowances to one another?
If not, ignore me altogether, heh. ;) If so, it just seemed to me that: (a) if some countries' emissions are even lower than allowable limits that should be viewed as a success, and not an excuse to allow other countries to emit more (b) yet another possibility for desperate 3rd world countries (that arguably need more leeway to build up industry) to be exploited by rich 1st world countries (that already leave far too much of an ecological footprint on the world as is) and (c) the risk for outright fraud with the difficulties of keeping track of it all...
Off the top of my head, anyway. It just seemed wrong to me...
