Carbon Trading VAT Fraudsters Net €5bn
Are you ready for Carbon Accounting Join our free webinar, [...] Carbon emissions are traded, as a way to penalise high emitters and reward those who can reduce their CO2 output, and reduce overall carbon emissions, in line with the goals of the UN climate change summit in Copenhagen. The trading unit is the European Unit Allowance (EUA), which is equivalent to one ton of carbon dioxide. [...] Criminals have taken €5 billion (£4.5bn) in fraud from the European carbon trading scheme, prompting calls for organisations to take greater control of their carbon accounting. [...]
Climate Change Deniers Quote Hacked University Data

Green IT And More (Part III) - Greening Your Organisation
You may be wondering why we haven't mentioned carbon offsetting as an option to improve an organisation's environmental performance. Well, a lot of organisations are using carbon offsetting (where you buy an 'offset' for the carbon dioxide emissions you produce usually a payment towards emissions- reducing projects) as a 'get out of jail free' card and claiming carbon neutrality because they're planting a forest or outsourcing their manufacturing. [...]
Data Centre Launches ?Eco-friendly' Facility
Pierre Dufour, head of the Carbon Trust loan scheme, said. The cooling technology which Blue Chip brought with an interest-free Carbon Trust loan will enable the facility to reduce its electricity use by over 60 percent. Blue Chip is just one of over 2,000 businesses taking Carbon Trust loans last year. [...] The centre's green credentials, and resulting claim to be one of the most efficient data centres in Europe, were made possible with an interest-free loan from the Carbon Trust under its Big Business Refit Campaign'. [...] A tree-planting scheme will also supplement the centre's green claims. But Mingay was sceptical of its value. Carbon offsetting is such a poor strategy, I thought we'd moved beyond that now, he added. [...]
University To Release All Climate Research Data
What effect will carbon credits have on IT Join our free web seminar, Carbon Credits, Copenhagen and UK IT, to find out. [...] Whatever the outcome of the continuing controversy, world governments will be meeting in December in Copenhagen to discuss a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Dirty Apple Turns Over A New Green Leaf
Products Companies Total Free / Apple Free Programme Iphone / Carbon Green Iphone st. [...] Apple was quick to claim its eye-popping 10.2 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually was a true reflection of, not only its own operations, but the use of its products by consumers, which accounted for 53 percent of that total. [...] By contrast the likes of HP and Dell, who Greenpeace have criticised for failing to keep to promised reductions in PVC and BFR use, have claimed that their carbon emissions at 8.4 million tons and 471,000 tons respectively. [...]
UK Staff Oblivious To Company Green Strategy
Kurt-Elli called for carbon emissions to be appropriately charged. He cited examples that carbon trading schemes for example are currently biased towards large businesses because they get more free credits. [...] We did little foot printing work, he explained. The total carbon cost of running a unified communication system in our data centre for one whole month equals the same carbon cost as running one flight from Edinburgh to London. [...] Corporate carbon emissions are causing a great deal of confusion, with UK staff kidding themselves about the green credentials of their employers. [...]
