The document discusses various aspects of carbon trading and offsets, including:
1) Two types of carbon trading - exchange traded and over-the-counter. India has over 25% of approved CDM projects globally.
2) Criticisms of carbon trading include that some emission reductions are exaggerated, profits go to middlemen, and the system is too complex to monitor and control. A carbon tax may be a better approach.
3) The document outlines domestic challenges and opportunities for India in low carbon growth and carbon financing, and discusses some perspectives on the Copenhagen Accord.

Literally, today you can earn carbon credits for doing virtually anything…even dreaming.
But that has bought us to another problem – how to do, when to do, who is to do…..
A lot of us believe that we are being fed with "NON-SENSE" in name of global warming. Also, do take a note of the year this cartoon was released – 2007. we will refer to this after couple of slides.
The findings associated with global warming have always been questioned. Remember the cartoon of 2007? This view has got a boost recently due to certain “re-statement” of facts.
One of the key “restatements” has been that of receding Himalayan glaciers. We won’t go in to details of this because we are sure you would have already read a lot about it. After all it was a mistake by IPCC – the organisation which is usually regarded as the final word on global warming and has even earned a Noble prize for its findings such as these.
