Nas, bhedas will never understand this point but listen son, in the end isn't it good for the third world farmers and factory owners who now are PAID more than they ever would through their regular means (previous way of business) for complying with the requirements which are not at all stringent and unscrupulous IBs of the West use everything to obtain the max credits and in turn pay these farmers/owners more?  In the viewpoint of us in the West a few dollars paid here and there is not much of an inconvenience so I really don't need to stoop at that level of thinking...On the contrary, its the few dollars in Nepal that could feed families for months.  Now think about that for a change and realize that funds paid for Carbon credits is a boon for the people of any LDC and Nepal is no exception.  These rural folks are paid in Euros and dollars and think of all the foreign reserves that roll into the nations coffers.  Ain't that what any developing nation needs??

BTW, this thread was started in me seeking the process of obtaining carbon credits in Nepal.  All I want is to know how and who handles the process and if the govt is linked to this program in any way.  Now if you know the answer to this, its all good but if you don't then so ahead start a thread on Global Warming instead.  I cannot say for certain what causes the maximum Co2 emissions in our planet as every info and statistic out there can be biased, but as per this thread, I really ain't interested in all that BS that is totally unnecessary in this thread.  Can you provide me with any info on this?  If so, I'd appreciate it, son.
