For The Real News, I speak with Scott Edwards, co-director of the climate and energy policy team at Food & Water Watch, about a new report which shows that carbon trading schemes are ineffective and cause environmental injustice.
Scott explains that California’s much-vaunted carbon-trading regime has not resulted in a reduction in carbon pollution. This should be of particular concern to residents of Quebec and Ontario, whose governments have joined California’s carbon-trading regime and who invoke their participation in that regime as proof that they are taking strong action to address the climate crisis.
