Patrick,
     Actually, as of right now, we have nothing, not
emissions trading, not anything else.  Just uncoordinated
domestic programs in some countries.   Wowie zowie.

Comrade Peter, would this perhaps have something to do with the
balance of forces? You want Zoellick/Barchefsky or O'Neill/Summers to
manage int'l trade/finance more than they do now? That's the
implication of continuing to promote the world-state-building
project, I fear. Or, as you've pointed out so eloquently, even where
eco-regulation is vital at the global scale, we get Kyoto emissions
trading that just makes matters worse...
