  The Earth has been wrecked by global corporate capitalism and&#160;modern industrial consumer society and international finance has been driving this process.

Ever since the&#160;counter-revolution of the&#160;late 70s and early 80s elites have been working to&#160;create markets that benefit the narrow interests of private power.

What is now generally known as Carbon Finance, or Carbon Trading [...]]]></description>
