...wonder James Baker and David Boies both agreed Sunday that the country would surely heal whomever the Supreme Court taps for the White House on Monday. Forget the red-and-blue nation; we may be looking at a red-and-blue Court, with nine Justices getting divvied amongst the Bush and Gore armies by the principals and their Sunday hosts.

First of all, an emissions trading regime will allow industrialized countries to pool their efforts, buying and selling emissions credits amongst themselves. Secondly, joint implementation projects will recognize efforts to finance emission-reduction projects in other industrialized countries. Lastly, a clean development mechanism will provide credit for financing emissions-reducing or emissions-avoiding projects in developing countries. However, there is much potential for loopholes in these mechanisms that would render the protocol...
