"Norfolk Island to trial world's first personal carbon trading scheme"
"Norfolk Island, a former British penal colony in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, is to become the first place in the world to trial a personal carbon trading program."
"During the trial, residents will use the card when they pay for petrol and power. Those who use fewer units by walking or cycling instead of driving or using less electricity at home will be able to exchange any remaining credit at the end of the year for cash."
"Over time the number of carbon units handed out on the cards will go down, forcing individuals to work harder to maintain a low-carbon lifestyle."

Ten months on from the failed Copenhagen climate summit, a binding global agreement on emissions cuts is still out of reach. Stephen Sackur speaks to Tony Juniper, the former head of the campaign group Friends of the Earth, who is now working with Prince Charles calling for a sustainable revolution. In this age of austerity, have environmental issues have slipped down the political agenda?

"I accept that the revelations about the IPCC probably were timed to coincide with Copenhagen. But then so were all of those reports in the weeks making the opposite case including lurid headlines about rising sea levels, falling sea ice and so on. Why is it okay on one side and not the other? If you don't want criticism then be more careful about they way you put together reports and deal with facts and not conjecture."
