"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?

Bishop, your name crops up for the Climate Folls day meeting at Westminster, are you attending?

Looks like Graham Stringer has a busy day Wednesday:

Remember the BBC experiment using distributed computing to operate a climate model? The team that started it are still going with many experiments ongoing.

rg : Historical climate records tell various stories — Let's test them all.

We'd like to understand the climate changes since 800 AD (i.e., for just over a millennium). In addition to the post-industrial era, this period includes so-called Medieval Warm Period (~900-1300 AD) and Little Ice Age (~1300-1900AD) (see e.g. Medieval Warm Period on wikipedia). The anomalously warm and cold periods are probably caused by the variation of volcanic & solar activities, land use changes and perhaps the change of oceanic circulation pattern, but the contribution of each component is not well understood...
