This is called proof texting.It is a self serving way to make someone feel smart and important. What he writes says very little about subject and a lot about him.

I don't understand how carbon credits can be traded if the penalties aren't collected somewhere like by the government.

These entrepreneurs are collectors of money who the redistribute the money mostly to projects such as wind farms, biodeisel plants, dairy farm methane projects, and reforestation projects. Some of these companies claim to be audited and verified by various authorities and non-profit organizations to assure transparency and accountability. I tried to find out about these organizations and companies. I wanted to know how much the principals made and how the money for the carbon credits is distributed and why. It remains a mystery. This looks kind of strange why should we have to pay something to someone who we have no idea where our money is going... Is this down the same road as a ponzy scheme. Take the money and run they will never know what hit them. Who audits them??? Quote from article : Who are these purveyors of credits and what do they do with the money?

A recent angle on Agricultural methane is that agriculture should be viewed more from a land-use perspective as we are currently unable to address livestock methane production, and it is not from a fossilised source, other than the fossil fuels used in various stages of the production system. also it is Cow Burps not farts. “Remember, according to the most recent “scientific consensus” only a small fraction of CO2 emissions are caused by humans and more damage is being done to our atmosphere from cow farts than automobiles or industry”
