Ruth Greenspan Bell observesthat the claim that ‘market instruments’ such asemissions trading ‘have lower institutional andhuman resource requirements’ than conventionalregulation ‘is totally at odds with empirical evidencefrom the US’.

Surprisingly, in the face ofthese figures, the UN has assumed that existingscience and technology is adequate for measuringadherence to the Kyoto Protocol’s small reductiontargets. See Tim Denne, ‘Aggregate versus Gas byGas Models of Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading’,Centre for Clean Air Policy Scoping Paper No. 6,June 1999, p. 2. Uncertainties associated with bioticemissions are likely to become progressively moredifficult to estimate due to the non-linear response ofplant life to global warming. In July and August 2003,500 million tonnes of carbon is likely to have escapedfrom Western Europe’s forests and fields during adrought – twice the amount released in the regionfrom fossil fuel burning. In 2005, contrary to standardbaseline assumptions, Europe’s ecosystems areexpected to be net releasers, not net absorbers, of
