After viewing the film, I was a bit worried that I have been supporting the wrong policy initiative. It's quite something to watch a well made film that debunks long held views. Now I remember how I struggled a decade ago to support the Kyoto Protocol. Having talked to negotiators for many years, both in international settings and in their own countries, I came to the conclusion that cap and trade was a reasonable and rather clever way of moving the world towards being more careful about emitting greenhouse gases. The moderate success and many false starts of the Kyoto Protocol and various regional and national initiatives has tempered my enthusiasm. Yet as I search critically for solutions that can advance and help us progress towards a more sustainable future, I come back to cap and trade as a highly viable and potentially globally fair solution. Your explanations helped me see why I've always thought that cap and trade is one possible solution to climate change. Thank you!
