visualizing.org Since 2005, Europe has been running the world's largest greenhouse gas market, capping emissions of its major factories and power stations, and allowing those companies to buy and sell pollution permits amongst themselves, as well as on the international "offsets" market, where funds go towards developing world projects that help curb emissions. The permits were originally handed out for free instead of by auction – a practice that, according to the Times, has likely earned some of the heaviest CO2 emitters billions of extra euros since 2005. There were also far too many credits initially issued at a time when dirty fuel was ridiculously cheap, leaving polluters with plenty of breathing room and inspiring some, like energy expert David Victor, to call the European Trading System little more than a "Potemkin market." The British non-profit organization Sandbag has created this map-based visualization in an attempt to illuminate the unwieldy world of carbon trading.
