Carbon credits would help rich countries avoid responsibility for their own pollution. Whilst none of the pollution of developing countries is even taken into account in the Climate negotiations. With these methods it's perfectly possible to exploit a virgin forest, rationally, forever, without destroying either its vegetation or fauna. So, we ought to capture carbon with our virgin forests, and not pay incentives to cut down virgin forests to plant eucalyptus or other foreign species. It seems crazy.
Tropical forests store much more carbon than eucalyptus.
But the Climate Convention does not allow carbon credits to be paid for protecting this natural storehouse. Accordingly the yearly burning of Amazonian forests continues - releasing carbon equal to half the total worldwide emissions which the Climate Convention is pledged to reduce. So, in the Brazilian Congress, a deputy from Amazonas introduced a bill in favour of carbon credits. The aim is that the Amazonian countries should have a unified policy giving them strength at the international level of First World countries. About this there's already a consensus within the government.
