Reduce Your Carbon Footprint with The Nature Conservancy’s Voluntary Carbon Of…: 4:30am 2 reviews environment, global-warming, climate-change, carbon-footprint, carbon-offsets
http://sustainablog.org/2008/07/23/reduce-your-carbon-footprint-with-the-natu...; Carbon offsetting has been around for a while now, giving you the opportunity to reduce your "carbon footprint" by trading cash for your personal carbon output. In most cases, this quid pro quo occurs through a donation to an organization that plants trees of some sort in some place where, hopefully (but not always), they are both needed and helpful to the original habitat. In theory, these trees then sequester carbon dioxide in the air-a major cause of global warming, acid rain, and other current environmental problems.

http://www.wired.com/science/planetearth/news/2008/07/species_relocation; If the most dire climate predictions come to pass, the Arctic ice cap will melt entirely, and polar bears could face extinction. So why not pack a few off to Antarctica, where the sea ice will never run out?

Exclusive: No ice at the North Pole - Climate Change, Environment - The Independ…: Jun 29, 8:09pm 47 reviews environment, nature, science, global-warming, climate-change
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/climate-change/exclusive-no-ice-at-t...; It seems unthinkable, but for the first time in human history, ice is on course to disappear entirely from the North Pole this year. The disappearance of the Arctic sea ice, making it possible to reach the Pole sailing in a boat through open water, would be one of the most dramatic - and worrying - examples of the impact of global warming on the planet. Scientists say the ice at 90 degrees north may well have melted away by the summer.

The Nature Conservancy: Do Carbon Offsets Really Work? : Planetsave: Jun 24, 4:48pm 2 reviews science, nonprofit, global-warming, climate-change, sci-tech
http://planetsave.com/blog/2008/06/24/do-carbon-offsets-really-work/; The Nature Conservancy strongly believes that credits from forest carbon projects and activities in the United States and in developing countries should be included in a cap-and-trade system. Including incentives for land conservation and restoration in a cap-and-trade program can help lower the overall compliance costs of such a system, increase support for the program and allow for more aggressive emission reduction goals.
