Since 2005, when major greenhouse-gas emitters among the Kyoto signatories were issued caps on their emissions and permitted to buy credits to meet those caps, there has been more than $300 billion worth of carbon transactions. Verification of the emission reduction or carbon sequestration is critical in efforts to mitigate climate change.
