• LiberalDemocrats "Responding to research by Shell which claims that developing new technologies to tackle climate change could generate up to 30bn for British business, Liberal Democrat Shadow Environment Secretary, Chris Huhne MP said:  "When a large fossil fuel company like Shell starts extolling green business opportunities, the world is beginning to change rapidly. "The business community has the key role in reshaping our economy to reduce its use of fossil fuels and boost renewables. But as Shell points out, the Government needs to set a framework to provide certainty for investment. This means a stronger emissions trading scheme and green taxes to guide behavior."
• Wikipedia "Green politics or Green ideology is a political ideology which places a high importance on ecological and environmentalist goals, and on achieving these goals through broad-based, grassroots, participatory democracy and a consensus decision-making. Green politics is advocated by supporters of the Green movement, which has been active through Green parties in many nations since the late 1970s and early 1980s. The political term Green, a translation of the German Grün, was coined by die Grünen, the first successful Green party, in the 1970s. ... "Greens" claim that their ideology represents a fundamentally new way of addressing societal and political problems, and that green politics is therefore not classifiable along the traditional left-right political spectrum. While green parties are often characterized as left-wing parties, this is not always the case. In fact, different currents within green politics can be described as variously left-wing or right-wing. In addition to ecological issues, green politics is concerned with issues of social justice, civil rights, and nonviolence." notes: concepts, ecology, social justice, grassroots democracy, four pillars expanded to its 'Ten Key Values', Decentralization from national to local level, community-based economics, meaningful work with dignity, feminism, respect for diversity, personal and global responsibility, sustainability, future focus.  Global Greens, an international movement, charter, six guiding principles: see above plus participatory democracy,

• Bloomberg "George W. Bush, who's lately warmed to the notion that nations must cut greenhouse gases, has stopped short of endorsing mandatory caps. That hasn't prevented the world's biggest banks from plotting ways to eventually rake in winnings off emission limits in the U.S.  The banks are rushing to hire traders for the U.S., betting it will enact caps, combined with emissions permit trading, after Bush leaves office in January 2009. In the European Union, emissions trading tripled in value to $24 billion in 2006 from a year earlier, when the market started, World Bank figures show. ``The growth is phenomenal,'' says Seb Walhain, who runs the world's biggest emissions trading desk at Fortis, Belgium's No. 1 bank.  The U.S., which produces more greenhouse gases than any other country, promises to be an even bigger market, says Stephen Welham, a trader at Ambrian Capital Plc in London.  ``The EU emissions trading scheme is going to look like a sideshow to the U.S. and other embryonic programs in a few years' time,'' Welham says."
