Carbon Credits - What the Hell?

Another in a not-so-regular series of posts highlighting nature's nature & 'ain't that odd'
Now that is a good plan! Let's go to really pristine places with lots of dirt, lots of trees and other carbon sequestering resources. Let's give carbonating spewing companies a choice. Let them stay in their current location, using their current polluting system but pay for these carbon eating trees "over there"; so they do not have to spend money to modernize their facilities.

Now that is a good plan -- pollute the heck out of what might be a heavily polluted area, or at least an area with considerable population. Yes, that is a good plan but lacking the true cost of ownership. Cheaper for the company, but how do we determine the cost to health, home values and other quantitative items.
