AAEA submits that Cap-and-Trade can be an effective tool for fighting climate change if properly implemented. We agree with the CEJM that the Kyoto Protocol is a poor model for achieving global warming mitigation. That is why the protocol is failing to achieve its objectives.<BR/><BR/>Yet the CEJM provides no reasonable alternatives for reducing greenhouse gases. Not only does AAEA promote effective alternatives to the Kyoto Protocol, we also believe that Cap-and-Trade mechanisms can be leveraged to benefit people of color communities by reducing greenhouse gas emissions, provide economic incentives for such improvements and provide business opportunities for minority entrepreneurs. The Clean Air Act Acid Rain Program is a Cap-and-Trade program that everybody agrees worked. AAEA is registered in the EPA Acid Rain Program.<BR/><BR/>AAEA has also developed programs and mechanisms to provide minority communties with the tools to help make Cap-and-Trade programs effective globally and locally. The AAEA Environmental Justice Allowance Reserve (EJAR) provides oversight and protection mechanisms in a Cap-and-Trade program. We have also developed a Carbon Mercantile Exchange and Green Carbon Bank to directly participate in the management of carbon dioxide offsets.<BR/><BR/>Environmental Justice Allowance Reserve<BR/>http://groups.msn.com/AAEA/allowances.msnw<BR/><BR/>Carbon Mercantile Exchange<BR/>http://www.aaenvironment.com/CMX/CMX.htm<BR/><BR/>Green Carbon Bank<BR/>http://www.aaenvironment.com/GCB.htmNorris McDonaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564345494443383507noreply@blogger.com
