Carbon credits are just another way for rich people to get richer on the backs of the working class. If a company produces more carbon than they are "allotted" by the government, they can buy credits from companies that have used less than their allotted amount. Just remember that ANY extra expense that a company realizes in the making of a product, be it increased transportation costs, higher minimum wages, taxes, carbon credits, etc is going to be passed along to the final end consumer of those goods. And I don't find it all that surprising that one of the MAJOR investors and promoters of the carbon credit BS scheme is none other than Al Gore. That man has made a career out of lying through his teeth, and this is no exception. Thank God that NJ's Gov Christe opted out of the Northeast states scheme for NJ. Our previous Gov (a Demon crap) had endorsed it whole hog.
