FAYETTEVILLE, AR (kuaf) - The global scientific community agrees that carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels are warming the earth's climate.
Nearly two hundred nations gathered in Copenhagen late last year to strike a new global treaty to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. Talks will continue in Mexico next year.
Comprehensive national climate and energy legislation passed the U.S. House of Representatives last summer. The legislation is currently under debate in the Senate.
But as Jacqueline Froelich reports, carbon sequestering companies, including one in the Ozarks, are already positioning themselves to capitalize in the emerging U.S. carbon commodities market.
