We must create a whole new carbon credit industry, whereby consumers who do not create and release carbon and buy credits which would the be offset by those that can and will release carbon into our environment.

Does methane count? Because if it does, I'm going to grow beans and cabbage, then can the beans and make the cabbage into sauerkraut. I'll make a fortune (and a bit of noise).

P.S. Does lighting up the methane add or subtract from your carbon credits?

"Does lighting up the methane add or subtract from your carbon credits?"

Adds. Methane is a much stronger "warming gas" than CO2, so converting methane to CO2 would reduce the "greenhouse effect".
