...Laboratory. TIME owes its readers the totality of facts to avoid misinformation. For many decades, the U.S. has worked with farmers and the scientific community to increase crop yields, reduce the intensity of pesticide and fertilizer use, improve water productivity and promote conservation tillage that reduces erosion and sequesters carbon. Substantial progress continues in all these areas and was not sufficiently addressed. Last year alone our agencies invested more than $1 billion in research, development and demonstration of next-generation-biofuels production from nonfood feedstocks, which remains the core U.S. strategy. Our government is committed to advancing technological solutions...
...together, the buildings saved 229 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, and saved FAS $72,472, according to a Harvard Gazette article...
...actually signed letters to commit to do our best to keep our carbon footprint low,” said Steven C. Caton, a social anthropology professor in William James Hall. “The building managers got us into it more...
Despite the fact that CCX is entirely voluntary - meaning the U.S. companies that participate in it aren't being forced to make emissions cuts - the market has been a success. Today, he notes, CCX has more than 400 corporate members, who last year traded 23 million tons worth of carbon emissions - up from 10.3 million in 2006. Over in London, where Sandor opened up a European Climate Exchange - and where companies labor under Kyoto-mandatory carbon caps - trading has been strong, and the company itself is worth over $1 billion.

...truly drive the massive global carbon emissions cuts needed to avert dangerous climate change, a voluntary market like CCX will never be enough. What's needed is a mandatory carbon cap in the biggest carbon market of all - the U.S. If and when that happens, we may see carbon emissions drop as rapidly as SO2 and NO has fallen under Sandor's acid rain market - without emptying our national wallet. "I'm optimistic," says Sandor. "The potential [cap-and-trade] legislation is moving in the right direction. If we design the building right, it won't punish the economy...
