Sparks fly over forestry credits - THERE is a problem when biotic areas are used as Carbon Credits.

Biotic areas are not 'stable.' Their conditions acting as a carbon sink varies. If one uses forests as Carbon Credits then what happens when a company pays for carbon credits and the following day the forest burns to the ground?
This is not a good idea. It's stupid actually. Carbon Dioxide emissions has to be regulated along with NOX and SOX.
