So you go to college why? To learn, ha!? If you are you’ll probably never leave.
*Make ourselves more valuable in the market place, to make more money.*
They always tell you money doesn’t grow on trees, well we’re about to change all that around.

How big is it going to be?
Can I really make money AND save the planet?
*capitalizing = giving value to
How many here believe that global warming is not a problem we need to worry about? Ok and how many of you (with hands up) don’t want to make money? Right…, now that everyone is on the same side lets talk about why we as a society have decided to capitalize carbon, and just how much money we’re talking about.
Oh and that last question, YES! You can make money and save the planet, ok ok, maybe I’m exaggerating, the planet most likely isn’t in that much danger, just mammals living on this planet.
But even you don’t believe me that we are in danger, believe me you can make money.

Notice the time period on the bottom is in thousands of years. We are looking 650,000 years through time. The little up spikes hear at the end are not in error, and no I did not photoshop them in.

i mean who could think that an "S" looks anything like a "C", thank god the editors within the EPA caught this obvious error.

non- binding
*like digital TV deadline has come and gone
(read the quote)
*there’s that root again, anthro. This is the politically correct way of saying engineers are really boring. no no, what is mean is this is politically correct way of saying that we can’t prove this is going to kill us or that the planet is in danger, but we do know it is going to change our way of life in ways that will harm BILLIONS of humans. And when I say politically correct here I am not talking about pissing off some demographic, I’m talking about politicians and they way they have to use language.

22. Capitalizing Carbon Where did the carbon market come from?
How big is it going to be?
Can I really make money AND save the planet?
To get an idea how much money we are talking lets first look at what is happening right here in the United States. As you should know by now we don’t have a cap and trade system for carbon dioxide, but that hasn’t stop a very large and robust voluntary market from developing. Voluntary markets are comprised of business or individuals like you and I that decide to analyze and reduce their carbon footprint. Typically setting targets for reductions and trying to reduce direct emissions and/or buy offsets to meet their goals, much like a cap and trade system but without any mandated penalty.
So how many of you would make a commitment to reduce your footprint or pay the price? You forget we are already paying the price.
Oh and since the last time we saw this slide we learned that last statement really isn’t accurate.

…states participating in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) today announced the results of the third auction for RGGI carbon dioxide (CO2) allowances. The March 18th auction was the first since compliance obligations under RGGI's first three-year control period began January 1, 2009.
 All of the 31,513,765 allowances for the 2009 vintage sold at a clearing price of $3.51 per allowance.
As with many issues here in the United States the states push change before the federal government does something

RGGI is just one organized a cap and trade system. These are all voluntary protocols right here in the united states.
We, CP Offsets have traded almost 100,000 ton on the CCX last year and hope to hit a million before the end of the year this year.

27. How Big is it Going to Be?
Ok, see this little tiny sliver of not-quite white right here…
That’s the CCX, RGGI and all the standards get put in a line so small you can’t even see it. The 110 million dollars is just the very tip of this iceberg.

28. How Big is it Going to Be?
Carbon emissions trading has been steadily increasing in recent years. According to the World Bank’s Carbon Finance Unit, 374 million metric tones of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2e) were exchanged through projects in 2005, a 240% increase relative to 2004 (110 mtCO2e) which was itself a 41% increase relative to 2003 (78 mtCO2e).
In terms of dollars, the World Bank has estimated that the size of the carbon market was 11 billion USD in 2005, 30 billion USD in 2006 and 64 billion in 2007.
I’ll just pretend like we are back in 5th grade and read this aloud…

Remember RGGI, out tiny little fish in the huge sea of the offset market. Look at what could happen here, the current price of offset credits in the united on the voluntary market – $ If the value of carbon in a cap and trade system is $29 a tone, where does that put us now?

Hopefully you are getting the picture, this is going to be big, and when I say big I mean like godzilla coming up from the depths of the ocean to destroy Tokyo big. This already a multibillion dollar industry that was created just a few years ago from nothing. It was an industry created by humans to capitalize carbon, and its working. And all of this without any formal cap and trade system here in the us…

32. How Big is it Going to Be?
“But to truly transform our economy, protect our security, and save our planet from the ravages of climate change, we need to ultimately make clean, renewable energy the profitable kind of energy. So I ask this Congress to send me legislation that places a market-based cap on carbon pollution and drives the production of more renewable energy in America. And to support that innovation, we will invest fifteen billion dollars a year to develop technologies like wind power and solar power; advanced biofuels, clean coal, and more fuel-efficient cars and trucks built right here in America.”
This from our president, mr. barak obama…
From what I have read and understand there appears to be bi-partisan support for cap and trade, the disagreement is, what form, when, how fast it will tighten the limits, and where the penalties should be enforced. So yes we do have a ways to go, the important one, the WHY is no longer a large enough issue to prevent legislation.
Cap and Trade legislation is inevitable at this point and time, we just don’t know when it will pass or what it will look like, but mark my words, it IS coming.

This is already a multi billion dollar industry and is growing exponentially.
Listen, every energy company is already tracking their green house gas emissions. They are calculating how much they can reduce and how much they are going to have to pay for. Your energy prices are going up, cap and trade is coming to the US. This is GOING to be HUGE.
