“Greenwash guerrillas” invade carbon conference

Two self-dubbed “greenwash guerrillas” invaded a Carbon Market conference in New York’s Javits Center on Tuesday. The activists from a group called Rising Tide North America passed security posing as convention delegates. Then they rushed the stage just before U.S. Congressman Jay Inslee, a Washington Democrat, was set to speak. Carbon Trading is the primary mechanism for reducing greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol, as well as in Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) and John Warner’s (R-Va.) “America’s Climate Security Act of 2007”, which just passed Senate committee.
