 An Open Letter to Fred Krupp
by Marc Stuart
Fred Krupp is President of Environment Defense Fund. Marc Stuart, co-founder of EcoSecurities, responds to comments Mr. Krupp had made about CDM.
Krupp (Wall Street Journal B: The Clean Development Mechanism [the offset part of the Kyoto Protocol], which provides about 95% of the offsets used in the European market, is clearly broken and should be quickly phased out.
Stuart: My first reaction to reading that parting statement in what was otherwise a very rational and cogent interview was unprintable in a family blog like this. First of all, let’s get a few things straight. When it comes to protecting the environment and harnessing market forces to that end, Fred Krupp is a god. Maybe I should even capitalize that description. More >
