U.S. Forest Service to sell carbon credits

The Payette National Forest in Idaho will begin selling private individuals carbon credits (L.A. Times). It is unclear how this service will work exactly, but it seems likely to be a variation of the old game. We give the Forest Service money and the Forest Service takes the money and clearcuts old, decadent public forests to plant new, vibrant, healthy ones.

They say the money will go to "restoring wildlife habitat" and burned areas.
