Abstract
Swisher and Masters have produced a clear account of some of the key rationales for allowing international flexibility through trading in any attempt to limit atmospheric CO2 accumulation. They have focussed on the way in which it could be used to bring together forestry responses with energy issues, but suggest that such an approach might equally extend to other types of responses both to reduce emissions and increase sinks. The underlying arguments are compelling.
