i agree with 75% of this movie but cap and trade happening today in the US has saved coral reefs in the pacific, and mitigated ecosystem services by "creating" a dollar value on things like wetlands, annual precipitation, and now the carbon cycle. its interesting to me that the people who want "in" on the carbon market are the very same people that are in control of the energy industry, i do not agree with the decisions of oil companies over the past 100 years but regardless they arent going anywhere unless they can continue making enormous profits. give them cap and trade to keep them happy while we save the planet, let revolution come later.

Well done! Very needed. Hopefully this helps someone and their eyes open up to what the gov. mafia and the banksters are up to!

I saw this film commercial-free which was much better on a big screen and with NO commercials but wanted to see it again. It's really a commentary on society and how we have mystified how money is created to the point we just don't see what is coming and this film definitely spells out what is coming. There is more debt in the world right now than there is "stuff" to back it up.... enter the latest scheme.... and we sheep just keep getting sheared.

It only got interesting about 1/2 way through, and I found the dialogue gimmicks dumbed-down- I don't think they really added any understanding at all. It should have been seriously edited for content. I think a few guest experts made the point that the system could be severely abused, and very likely is abused, but not that it was fatally flawed in concept. With independent oversight deciding what really qualifies as an offset and verification and enforcement of claims, perhaps a similar system could help. I do prefer a carbon tax.

are annoying, especially since their volume is higher than the speakers' and its beat is extremely antagonistic otherwise interesting content

A perfect look at how a fiat currency is created by those in power while us sheeple are asleep at the wheel (how many of us are really involved in the political system anymore, we're all so disgusted by it)- This currency is carbon or rather what a company says it would have put into the atmosphere. I found the fact that the dams in India which create huge reservoirs that emit more carbon than the worst coal fired power plant are getting carbon credits is remarkable. The coal companies aren't cutting back ripping up the countryside here in the U.S.; they're shipping "our" coal to China (probably getting credits too, because the coal won't be burned here). Contrary to some, the film does suggest that if we're all sure us humans are creating global warming than we should tax "ourselves" - some sort of disincentive for creating excess carbon; but with the creation of carbon trading which will be regulated by the same people who brought you the last big bubble and the examples presented here - I cannot imagine how it will do anything except make a select few rich - I understand they've already brought into being the Carbon Derivative and its being traded - Good Grief!
