News - 'Carbon credits' fueling debate - sacbee.com: "Schwarzenegger will buy 'carbon credits' in the Fred M. van Eck Forest, in the form of trees allowed to live and grow bigger and older so they can absorb more carbon dioxide. The purchase will offset some of the global-warming gas released during the governor's frequent trips by private jet.
The governor's plan has turned a spotlight on the growing market for carbon credits, even though critics say benefits are harder to verify in a forest conservation project like this. Planting new trees in bare ground would be preferable, they say."
