What's the deal with carbon trading?

Join Chuck and Josh as they dive into the fascinating world of carbon trading and cap-and-trade schemes, explaining how these market-based systems work to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. They explore everything from the European Trading System to the Chicago Climate Exchange, discuss the controversial world of carbon offsets (including why some critics call them "permits to pollute"), and examine whether these programs actually help the environment or just make people feel better about their carbon footprint. The hosts also share some surprising revelations about how companies like Vail Ski Resort claim to be "100% wind powered" and what that really means.
