Tax Dollars Used for Racist Sensitivity Training

Diversity at its best?  Hah!  Diversity at its worst and we’re paying for it!  Your tax dollars and mine are being used to do this type of diversity training at all levels of government.  It’s time to raise our voices and let our elected officials know how we feel about this type of indoctrination happening with our tax dollars.

If this is happening in adult settings with our government workers, can you imagine what’s happening in the public school classrooms?  I shudder to think as it was shared with me that public schools (who cannot honor Christmas, Easter or any Christian celebration) commonly have special events like Karl Marx Day, and so many other anti-American, anti-Federalist, or anti-Free Market Capitalism.  Our children rarely spend time studying the history of big-thinkers like President Calvin Coolidge, economists such as the late Milton Friedman or Walter Williams.

Is it really any wonder that our nation is publicly $16.6T in debt, a debt that is 74.6% of our GDP now, and an external debt to GDP ration of 99.8%?  Just for kicks I checked out how the State of Washington is doing in comparison, but you should remember that States are actually supposed to abide by a balanced budget.  So, even though the State of Washington appears to be doing much better than the Federal government, Washington State does spend more than we pay-in. The State of Washington has a debt to GDP ratio of 20.5%.  If that made you feel better, try this on for size.  The State of California’s debt to GDP ratio is 20.4%.  But heck, remember that statement from President Obama at the, no so long ago, State of the Union Address? I am paraphrasing here, but the President said;  “We are living at a time where many political parties are manufacturing crisis after crisis.”

What I’m asking you, if you’ve taken the time to check-in and read this posting, have you, will you take the time to contact your political representatives?  Tell them to stop wasting tax dollars.  Tell them that they could start by demanding that we stop promoting events like the one I’ve shared with you here.

“The Washington State Environmental and Sustainability Literacy Plan," education or indoctrination?

One of the pillars of UNA21SD (United Nations Agenda 21 for Sustainable Development) is to develop life long learners who understand the connection between the environment (Mother Earth) and human activity.  The diagram below shows the comprehensive plan to teach this theory and if you click on the image you will go to the “executive summary” of the plan.  There is a larger document that entails more details on how to achieve this outcome here.

So, if I understand that human activity is directly dependent upon what’s available in my environment, but I disagree with the outcome, do I fail the course?

Education or indoctrination?  You decide.  There is only one outcome in this circle and that is to teach to the Sustainablist’s outcome and get more tax dollars to keep teaching it.

Is it any wonder?

When we indoctrinate the youth to believe unsubstantiated, thus false science as truth in our K-12 education, in our halls of higher learning, is it any wonder that the suicide rate is up?  Is it any wonder that the artistic community has turned to darkness?  Is this what we send our children to school for?  Wake-up and smell the hypocrisy that has been written into our text books, sold to the educators and is causing the next generation to believe that they are a cancer to “Mother Earth”.

A message from Rep. Jim McCune, May 10, 2012

Dear Friends,

We are finally receiving some nice weather and I’m glad to hear the lawnmowers and trimmers fired up in the neighborhoods. There are many of us still cleaning up from the winter storms. It would be much more convenient if we didn’t have so many restrictions on how we utilize and care for our private property.

My office has received many calls from constituents commenting and lamenting on how boxed-in they feel with the never-ceasing rules and regulations directing their behavior. Authority over the use of our natural resources has been intertwined with many agencies—governmental and non-governmental. It’s rather sad that we must have permission to put overhangs on our shops to keep water off our equipment, or remove a fallen tree that is creating a water hazard, and that we could be fined for cutting down a tree on our own property. The stories are never-ending.

It’s difficult to comprehend how America (and the globe) became so enamored with the term “sustainability,” the rule-making system in place that guides policies. By reviewing the history of the concept and the background of those who funded, wrote and promoted the concept, we can see a pattern that is too obvious to ignore.

There are many pieces to understanding “sustainability.” Start by checking out the Town and Country Planning Act of 1947 in the United Kingdom (UK). It is famous for a number of its provisions. It greatly strengthened the control of local authorities over planning and land use. You can see sample chapters here. Please note the watermark UNESCO-EOLSS. The provisions in this document read like provisions in America. How did they get here?

Tracing “sustainability” is easy. Just go to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Web site. What is difficult is understanding why America is embracing and implementing this foreign agenda, not to mention sifting through the voluminous pages of research and information about it. For a visual explanation, watch this video. Yes, gaining this knowledge will require a good chunk of your time, but without this knowledge, we will continue to give away our individual rights that were given to us through the blood of our ancestors, and destroy the fabric of our liberty guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution and the Washington State Constitution.

In earlier e-mail updates, I cited information about the Earth Charter (look under non-governmental organizations) and how our own Department of Ecology promotes it on their Web site. Here is an easy-to-read article from the Vermont Journal of Environmental Law that explains the Earth Charter. A constitution for the environment has been written. You can read all about it and more here. For a short synopsis, click here.

According to Noah Webster, “sustainable” means: That may be sustained or maintained. The action is not sustainable. What does “sustainability” mean today? It means a new norm for ethical living described by Gro Harlem Brundtland (first Vice-President of the Socialist International and then prime minister of Norway) in her report, Our Common Future. “Sustainability” is meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We are told that painful choices have to be made. Thus, in the final analysis, sustainable development must rest on political will. Who will define what our “needs” are? We must determine whose code of ethics we shall live by—those of our Founders or a global mix of confusion?

EDUCATION

How does education fit in with the “sustainable” agenda?

What is the focus of education today? Factual knowledge? As a reminder, here is the link to a speech by Dr. Shirley McCune (former OSPI employee under Terry Bergeson) discussing the restructuring of schools and telling us that education is no longer about teaching facts. Note, this astounding and applauded speech was back in 1989. An article titled A Changing Vision of Education by Nancy Carlsson-Paige and Linda Lantieri mirrors the vision described by Dr. Shirley McCune in her lecture. Does her philosophy align with your understanding of the purpose of education?

Now we have the federal government promising grant money to states that adopt Common Core State Standards (CCSS). We have Marc Tucker’s American Agenda for Education Reform. Marc Tucker designed the failed WASL. Marc Tucker (pg. 6) is famous for his “Dear Hillary” letter. Here is additional background on Marc Tucker’s influence on our country’s educational system, including RTTT and CCSS. Why is he considered an expert? There is no shortage of information on this subject.

BUDGETS (State and Federal)

As I mentioned in my end-of-session mailer, because of my concerns with the very low reserve it left, I could not support the supplemental budget. I also feel we can do a better job of controlling our spending. The federal government is setting a poor example for states and all entities. It is important you know what the budget breakdown looks like at the federal level. There is a trickledown effect. The state relies on a great amount of money from the federal government. The current debt at the federal level is $13 trillion. You can find a budget breakdown here: Background on Budget and Economy.

TRANSPORTATION

My interest in the history of our state’s Growth Management Act (GMA) led me to a very interesting interview with former Rep. Joe King. He said he was stuck in traffic and wanted to do something about unplanned growth. That was 25 years ago. Is the plan (GMA) that was put in place working?

Recently, I watched an eye-opening presentation (starting at 49 min. mark) by Wendell Cox about our region’s transportation and land-use policies. The Seattle Times ran his article titled “Region’s transportation and land-use policies have little effect on traffic congestion.” It’s an excellent read!

WOODSTOVE LEGISLATION

I have received a number of calls on House Bill 2326, the woodstove burning bill. I want to clarify that I did not support this measure. The legislation gives the Department of Ecology authority over woodstove use, particularly uncertified woodstoves. Apparently, parts of Pierce County did not meet federal air quality standards about 10 days each year. It amounts to more government intervention in our personal lives.

ELECTION-YEAR RESTRICTIONS

I want to remind you that because this is an election year, my legislative communications to you are restricted. After May 11, I am no longer allowed to send e-mail updates, such as this one. Hopefully, there is enough information in this e-mail to keep you busy for several months. After June 30, I am unable to initiate communications with constituents by mail or e-mail unless you contact me about an issue or request information. If you contact me, I can respond as a normal course of my work as your legislator. The mailing restrictions will remain in place until Dec. 1, 2012.

I appreciate all your support during my time in the Legislature. Please continue to contact me during the interim if you have any concerns, comments or need assistance with a state issue.

Sincerely,

Jim McCune
State Representative

OWS~Anit-Capitalist in the Military?

This is a very recent YouTube clip from OWS where they are having “Teach-Ins” that espouse anti-capitalism.  This video has a moment of truth that the progressive/communist/socialist/marxist/ecologarcists have infiltrated all sectors of government, including our U.S. Military.  The U.S. Military is empowered to protect the U.S. Constitution and should never be allowed to have this type of rhetoric taught to those entrusted to protect the Country.

Just my thoughts…enjoy the video.

Days of Rage - grassroots or astro-turf?

Back in February of 2011, on the Glenn Beck Show, Mr. Beck revealed a video taped session from SEIU’s former leader, Steven Lerner.  In this video Mr. Lerner speaks about the beginning of an organized event to be called the “Days of Rage”.  The event was to begin on September 17th, 2011 (Constitution Day) on the streets of Manhattan, New York, known as “Wall Street”.  This action comes directly from the manifesto; “The Coming Insurrection”.

There has been a lot of local and national news blips with cutesy video of the protestors.  Their video pretty much focuses on the un-intelligible rants of an uninformed band of parrots.

The video I’ve posted below shows a great difference in the level of protestors who are gathering in Washington, D.C., but they are no better informed than the protestors in New York.  The difference is that they are not showing drugged-out children, from the flower children, of the 60’s generation.  They are college educated youth, on their way to be the “leaders” of tomorrow.  The college educated class that are graduating from our schools of higher learning are prime examples of the re-wiring that has been done to our youth.  Listen to their words and realize that this is a prime example of the how our public Universities, a majority of our private Universities, our public Schools and again a majority of our private Schools have turned away from teaching the true meaning of the Founders fight for our U.S. Constitution, free markets and the rights to our private property.

The schools are dependent on public funding from the federal and state governments.  This funding comes with many strings attached and some of those strings are tied to A21/Sustainable Development policy.  The stated goals for Sustainable Development is to change education of the youth towards a “global” understanding that the United States unjustly has accumulated too much wealth in proportion to the rest of the world.  They fail to mention that it is due to the U.S. Constitution, State Constitutions and Local Charters, that citizen’s of the United States have the rights to their property, and this is the key to our ability to create wealth.  As the government taxes and regulates these rights and protections away, our private wealth is seriously eroded, which is the major factor to our current economic malaise.

Yours in Truth, Shelly

The Constitution vs. Democracy School Teachings of “Mob Rule”

Local Ferndale, WA citizen, Bellingham Tea Party President, Karl Uppiano has published a well stated analysis of what’s being taught at the local Democracy School instruction vs. the U.S. Constitution’s protections of the minorities from mob rule.  The main ingredient missing from today’s political activities, is their upholding of the protections given to the individual from the “collectivist”, the “community”, the “globalists”, the “Gaia obsession” to place Mother Earth on a religious pedestal and teach that no human has the right to de-grade her in any way!  Is it naiveté that drives the Democracy School agenda?  Or, is it about the continual push towards full implementation of Agenda 21 through the auspices of  “Sustainable Development”?

2011 National Constitution Week; by Karl Uppiano

On September 17, 1787, The Constitution of The United States was ratified. Saturday, September 17, 2011, on the 224th anniversary, kicks off National Constitution Week.

You might be interested to know that several of our local politicians attended a “Democracy School”, that teaches that The Constitution was a “usurpation” of the Articles of Confederation. To wit,

1. The Mount Vernon Conference was convened to solve the problems encountered by the Potomac Company, and the Conference led to the Annapolis Convention, which sent a report to Congress urging for a broader meeting to be held in Philadelphia.
2. Delegates to the Philadelphia Constitutional Convention were a select group representing property-owning white males, that the proceedings were secret and sentries were positioned at the doors, that Madison and Randolph presented the Virginia Plan on the first day, and that minutes of the Convention were not released for over 53 years.
3. Most of the delegates viewed democracy as rule by the rabble, and called for the crafting of a Constitution that enabled a minority to govern, and which protected the property of the minority from majority governance.
4. There were a group of people called the anti-federalists who understood what the delegates were attempting, and attempted to stop the ratification of the Constitution.
5. The Constitution is an anti-majoritarian, slave document that established a minority-rule, slave state.

Please consider telling all of your elected representatives that we believe the un-revised history,

1. The Articles of Confederation were weak, inhibiting the ability of the several states to cooperate, or even be recognized as a single nation by other countries, especially Great Britain. We were in danger of disintegration. The problems addressed by The Constitution were manifold, and they may have incidentally addressed or hindered various special interests.
2. Property-owning white males is a modern construct used by statists to justify more centralized government, not a return to more diffuse states’ rights.
3. The federalists believed that pure democracy suffers from “the tyranny of the majority”, in which minority rights would be overridden by the majority. They created a representative republic in an attempt to help protect minority rights.
4. When The Constitution was being considered, there were federalists and anti-federalists. Political change always has opposition. As such, the tea parties oppose abandoning constitutional government, and certainly without due process.
5. Most of the founders were federalists and abolitionists, believing in liberty and equal justice for all. The fact that The Constitution did not abolish slavery at the time was part of the great compromise that was necessary to get it ratified. When we finally did (thankfully) abolish slavery, it nearly destroyed The Union. At least we still had The Constitution.

The fact of the matter is that The Constitution was ratified, and for 224 years, it has helped to protect our right to live free, and keep what we earn. Regardless of how some would mischaracterize the founders and their motives, The Constitution is still the official specification for The United States government, and any regime that distorts or disregards the document that they took an oath to uphold and defend, is untrustworthy and dangerous.

Canadian Oil Sands vs. Green Jobs

When journalists write about the fallacy of the Obama Administrations energy policies, but fail to connect the dots to “Sustainable Development” policies, I question their honesty or thoroughness in research of the subject.

The Canadian Oil Sands, just like the Bakken Shale Oil discovery, should’ve created a fabulous spike in industry and jobs for the North American economy and driven down the cost of energy, thus giving a boost to the global economy.  The only reason this is not occurring in the United States is our local/state/federal representatives have bought-in, hook, line and sinker, to Agenda 21 and the goals of “Sustainable Development”.

Sustainable Development is a Council, an Apex, a top down form of governance and is completely in-compatible with the United States Constitution.  Unless we have a complete change in the Executive and both sides of the House, in 2012, the United States will idle along at 9% or greater unemployment, have industry and manufacturing disappear as a viable portion of the U.S. Economy and lead the United States into 3rd World status for decades.  All of this is an integral part of Agenda 21 and “Sustainable Development”.  We the People must push this issue to the forefront of the political debate, because the ‘3’ E’s of Sustainable Development are almost complete:

Environment Regulation

Economic Reform

Equitable Re-distribution

Canada's Oil Sands Are a Jobs Gusher

• By MARY ANASTASIA O'GRADY

For all its soaring rhetoric, President Obama's "jobs speech" last week didn't demonstrate a lick of insight into why economies grow or how wealth is created. It was merely trademark Obamanomics: using government diktat to move money that's over here, over there.

Having spent an hour the day before with Ron Liepert, the energy minister from the Canadian province of Alberta, I found it especially disturbing to hear nothing in the speech about reversing the administration's anti-fossil-fuels agenda. Canada has recovered all the jobs it lost in the 2009 recession, and Alberta's oil sands are no small part of that. The province is on track to become the world's second-largest oil producer, after Saudi Arabia, within 10 years. Meanwhile Mr. Obama clings to his subsidies for solar panels and his religious faith in green jobs.

U.S. unemployment is high because capital is on strike. Short-term offers to coax investors into taking new risks aren't going to cut it when they have been forewarned that the president intends to pay for it all by raising taxes in the out years. The market dropped over 300 points the day after Mr. Obama's speech.

On the regulatory front the picture is even gloomier. Much of America's vast untapped energy potential lies dormant because Mr. Obama's regulatory watchdogs have spent the past three years throwing sand in the gears of the permitting process for exploration and exploitation on federal lands. Separately, TransCanada has been trying since September 2008 to get a permit to build the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to the Gulf Coast. The Environmental Protection Agency has so far blocked it.

Associated Press

TransCanada's Keystone XL pipeline could mean 118,000 American jobs, if the U.S. government ever issues the permit.

A glimpse of what all this has cost the U.S. economy can be seen by looking north to Canada, where animal spirits have been unleashed in the energy sector. Canada's close economic ties to the U.S. have traditionally meant that when the U.S. gets the sniffles, Canada gets swine flu. This time it's been different. Part of the reason is that Canada's housing market was not poisoned by a federal government push to put unqualified borrowers into homes they could not afford. After the 2008 collapse of the housing bubble in the U.S., the Canadian financial sector remained strong.

What if?

What if the goal of a “New World Order” or “Global Governance” wasn’t the imagination of conspiracy theorist(s)?  What if instead of independent, caldrons of ideas and economic experiments, the world was made-up of a global, top down oligarchy?  What if too big to fail, failed?

It was the intent of the Framers of the U.S. Constitution that the States remain independent of each other to safeguard the “free markets”, to allow each State to respond as needed for the needs of their residents in the most efficient and creative manner possible.  To prevent the States from unifying for anything other than their safety and economic benefit, was clearly understood by the Framers.

So what harm could happen to the citizen’s of the United States as our local representatives saunter down the path of “Sustainable Development”?  Now remember that when the term sustainable development is used, it not only refers to the development of buildings, roads, farms and transportation corridors.  Sustainable development refers to the ‘3’ E’s; Environment, Economy and Equity .  Since Agenda 21’s goal is a global unification of the ‘3’ E’s, is it logical to take it to the next step that this top down, global structure could become the nirvana it’s promised to be?  Or, is it more reasonable to believe that a top down, global oligarchy (that which Hayek warned against) will inevitably fail in a magnificent catastrophe?  That it will cause the massive death and destruction of human life, leaving humanity in shambles, left to tyrants and/or patriots to rebuild itself?  Well, that story remains to play itself out and until it does, it’s my belief that patriots will always rebuild the world the way the Framers envisioned.

So why did I ramble on this way?  The first article represents what should’ve happened in response to the “too big to fail” scenario of 2008.  The second article is what I believe will continue to happen if our elected representatives follow the goals of Agenda 21.

Agenda 21 For Dummies

I first became aware of ICLEI last month. Sure, I had heard the name "Agenda 21", but I had no idea what it was about. This has been going on for decades, under the guise of warm fuzzy names like "sustainable development", right under our noses, under the radar, out of the reach of the US Constitution, and with the help and approval of politicians from both sides of the aisle. Many so-called "non profit" community organizers are paying themselves handsome salaries with federal grant money to sue us, regulate us, and to confiscate our property rights. They are using our tax dollars against us.
The 'progressives' at ICLEI have latched on to the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) hypothesis even though there is no objective proof that it exists, and no experiment that you could run to prove it. You just have to believe, because the consequences if you do not are so dire. Where have I heard that argument before? Oh, that's right -- religion! The big difference is, the first amendment prevents government from interfering with or establishing any religion. The Church of AGW on the other hand, is somehow exempt from the same constitutional constraints.
Under the influence of ICLEI and Agenda 21, public schools are now teaching that objective truth is unknowable, so it isn't worth seeking. There's only one reason for saying that: So that upcoming generations will believe claptrap like AGW. It's a handy tool to keep people from questioning anything. Knowledge is power, and the truth will set you free.

Posted on February 23, 2011 by Joan of Argghh!

Some days I can’t decide if I’m actually impressed by the once fresh-faced irony of the Mexican ruling party’s name, or horrified that the good-citizen-teachers of Wisconsin will seize upon it for their own identity.

We Don't Need No Steenkin' Badges!

You’d have to admit at this point that “Hope and Change” is a hollow cover for blatant Marxism and it clanks against the heart of liberty in the same sophomoric key as all things institutional. But that is the way of all governments at some point: assimilate the popular sentiment and institutionalize it for your own purposes. Or did you not see what happened in Egypt? Good and impressionable people took to the streets and the governing powers infiltrated, adulterated and subjugated the national mood. They (an amalgam of power-brokers) now own what happened and the people lost.

I think that’s why it’s best to leave Wisconsin to the moonbats. A counter-march and all the attendant fringes of such will, a)never be faithfully portrayed by the State-run media, or b)will be artfully cherry-picked by the MSM out at the fringes for a net loss, or c)be assimilated into One Thing and that won’t be the thing anyone really wants, but will be what they get.

It’s best to let such people self-define, in the end. The singular and non-distilled messaging of the Left is doing our work for us. The minute the Tea Party decides to do something similar, we will be handing power to the ruling Institution and, like it or not, that is still a very fat and happy body of government; a government that is inventing social-bots and twitter-bots and all sorts of State-run media-bots and setting them free to roam the Intartubes.

Even now, people are tiring of the tedious business of sorting through the media morass to find simple meaning. The delicate types want everyone to quit being mean, the deceiving types want to shift blame, and the rest just want to control the conversation when they’re not trying to regulate it for cash and valuable prizes. It all works in their favor. Sure, the cure for restrictive speech is more speech but the ear can only hear so much.

A solid ideology, pure, simple and easily defined by its outcomes is our only unifying force. We lose it at our peril. We must guard it jealously and wisely, not trot it out into the streets when the risk of confusion is high, as in Wisconsin right now. Let that weak pony run itself out.

The Tea Party simply must remain the non-institutionalized factor of real hope. Even now, nice, well-meaning people are planning on using what so many have already accomplished for their own political ends. They will shove candidates and issues and agendas onto the Tea Party like a feather in Yankee Doodle’s cap and call it macaroni if we let them. But for now those types are completely frustrated by the lack of organization; that’s how you know it’s working.

In the meantime, if you want to save your country, you’ll have to do it all by yourself: one acquaintance, one casual encounter, one community meeting, one moment of accountability,  one blog post, one vote at a time.  It might be out of your comfort zone socially, but it wields more lasting effect than all the hollow promises and tender mercies of an Institutionalized Revolution.

Just speak up. And if someone is offended? Wear it like a badge. . . of honor.

The media has a way of capturing the best in people and are really good at capturing people at their worst.  The State of Wisconsin elected a Governor to fix their economy, stabilize their pension system and still honor these people by keeping them employed within the public sector.  What thanks is he getting from the Union bosses and all of the bussed in protestors?  Where has all the civility that was being demanded of us after the shooting in Arizona of Congresswoman Giffords?  How short is our memory?

Here’s a little story, which is based entirely on fact:  A child was standing in front of a candy vending machine.  The child’s father said, “no”.  The child continued to whine for money to get candy from the vending machine.  The father said, “no”, again.  The father went outside to take some personal belongings outside to his vehicle and came back in to retrieve his child.  The child then threw herself onto the floor and proceeded to kick and scream for daddy to giver her money to buy candy from the vending machine.  The father got out money, put it in the machine and gave his daughter the candy.

Now, what is the difference between that scenario (which we all know was exactly the wrong thing to have done) and this display that the Public Union Workers of Wisconsin and around the Nation are displaying here?

CCX Gets Capped ~ “wOOt!”

To quote the words of the “Rage Against the Kakistocracy” scribe; Karl Uppiano, “wOOt!”  Forbes has published an interesting article on the demise of CCX with the foul winds of the Cap & Trade (Tax) scheme.  After decades of regulatory manipulation and fabrication, they realized that there is no way to continue the charade that CO2 is the cause of all the worlds ill.  Anyone who has spent time understanding the needs of and make-up of the planet, understand that CO2 ‘is’ the life blood of the earth.  Why else are we ‘all’ largely constructed of carbon?

Please enjoy this morsel of the article and follow the link to the full article.  Remember the people involved from the beginning in this scheme and ask yourself; “How did they get so far?”  “Who is the Joyce Foundation?”  “How much money have they stolen from the People?”  Want the answer?  Follow the money…

The Bell Tells for You

The Chicago Climate Club Gets Capped

Larry Bell, 12.22.10, 12:00 PM EST

The amount of influential Democrats in this group is perhaps too coincidental.

I didn't receive an invitation to attend the annual holiday festivities sponsored by the Chicago Climate Club this year. Initially concerned that this might possibly be due to something I wrote in this column, a different reason is now apparent. The Chicago Climate Exchange (CCX) has shut its doors in response to a different sort of climate change--one producing a cold political Northern that blew into the Windy City from the Great Plains and beyond on Nov. 2.

Consequently, many prominent officers, corporate affiliates and individual shareholders--many of whom you are likely to recognize--won't receive the public gifts they had hoped.

CCX was launched in 2003 as a "voluntary pilot agency" that aspired to become the New York Stock Exchange for Carbon-emission trading. Its planning was initiated thanks to a $345,000 grant from the Chicago-based Joyce Foundation to Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management to study and test the viability of a future carbon-credit market.
