Hundreds Protest Carbon Trading-will not help climate change-UK

"Hundreds of people today set up a "climate camp" in the City of London to protest against

• it allows rich countries to carry on polluting while "offsetting" their emissions elsewhere....

"Carbon trading has been the false solution that has been thrown at us when we've held previous camps and we want to tackle that head-on today."...
