Organized criminals are being blamed for stealing European Union pollution permits and sparking a police hunt across the continent, battering confidence in an 80 billion-euro ($110 billion) market.
Thieves who steal CO2 permits try to sell them in the market before owners realize they are missing, according to Czech trader Nikos Tornikidis. The criminals may have exploited “negligent” security standards in some EU nations that participate in the world’s largest system for trading rights to discharge greenhouse gases, Jos Delbeke, director general for climate at the European Commission, said in an interview.
“Sophisticated” computer attacks this month may be linked to last year’s outbreaks of “carousel fraud” and “phishing attacks,” the director of Europol said. Barclays Plc stopped buying futures from some clients, and a traders association said the market may become “untenable.” The EU regulator suspended registries on Jan. 19 in 30 countries that track carbon permits, triggering a 12-day halt in spot trading.

Blue is the New Green As Water Footprints Enter The Economy
Water rights holders get paid to leave water in streams, businesses pay to clean up water...
By establishing a voluntary market through water restoration certificates, the foundation was able to establish a pot of money to pay water rights holders to keep their water in the stream rather than using it for irrigation. Through the program, the foundation has active water restoration projects in Oregon and Montana. The projects are vetted by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation.

Republicans are willing to walk the US to the brink of insolvency because they are operating by a playbook written and perfected by radical free market fundamentalists over the past 30 years who've been able to exploit or create economic crisis across the globe -- from Latin America to Africa and from South East Asia to Russia -- in order to strip these nations of their wealth and enrich a small claque of oligarchs and their empty promises of prosperity and democratic reforms.

The political context of the current Egyptian uprising is clear: The United States has steadfastly supported dictator Hosni Mubarak, whose rule has been marked by sham elections and the jailing and torture of dissidents, propping up his regime since 1981 with some $60 billion in aid, most of it
How Egypt Is Not Iran
From Mideast expert Professor Juan Cole:
Image via Wikipedia
Alarms have been raised by those observing the popular uprising in Egypt that, while it is not itself a Muslim fundamentalist movement, the Muslim fundamentalists could take it over as it unfolds. The best-positioned group to do so is the Muslim Brotherhood. Some are even conflating the peaceful Brotherhood with radical groups such as al-Qaeda. I showed in my recent book, Engaging the Muslim World, that the Muslim Brotherhood has since the 1970s opposed the radical movements. In any case, the analogy many of these alarmists are making, explicitly or implicitly, is to Iran in 1978-79, which saw similar scenes of massive crowds in the street, demanding the departure of Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, their king.
Read the whole thing.
And follow Cole's Informed Comment daily.( All of which makes the quip about the Muslim Brotherhood being MI-6 more fun. )

One US Corporation's Role in Egypt's Brutal Crackdown
THE HUFFINGTON POST – The open Internet's role in popular uprising is now undisputed. Look no further than Egypt, where the Mubarak regime today reportedly shut down Internet and cell phone communications -- a troubling predictor of the fierce crackdown that has followed.
What's even more troubling is news that one American company is aiding Egypt's harsh response through sales of technology that makes this repression possible.The power of open networks is clear. The Internet's favorite offspring -- Twitter, Facebook and YouTube -- are now heralded on CNN, BBC and Fox News as flag-bearers for a new era of citizen journalism and activism. (More and more these same news organizations have abandoned their own, more traditional means of newsgathering to troll social media for breaking information.)
But the open Internet's power cuts both ways: The tools that connect, organize and empower protesters can also be used to hunt them down.
Telecom Egypt, the nation's dominant phone and Internet service provider, is a state-run enterprise, which made it easy on Friday morning for authorities to pull the plug and plunge much of the nation into digital darkness.
Moreover, Egypt also has the ability to spy on Internet and cell phone users, by opening their communication packets and reading their contents. Iran used similar methods during the 2009 unrest to track, imprison and in some cases, "disappear" truckloads of cyber-dissidents.
The companies that profit from sales of this technology need to be held to a higher standard. One in particular is an American firm, Narus of Sunnyvale, Calif., which has sold Telecom Egypt "real-time traffic intelligence" equipment.
Narus, now owned by Boeing, was founded in 1997 by Israeli security experts to create and sell mass surveillance systems for governments and large corporate clients.
