I think this is a great system - a cap and trade system for the economists out there - and I feel that people should be aware of these potential solutions; it helps people to be more optimistic about what can be done, and also gives them the opportunity to demand this kind of action from their leaders. With this in mind I recently gave a talk on C&C to the graduate body of my College - not the whole body, but about 15 people, with differing levels of understanding about the climate change problem. By the end, everyone understood the C&C proposal, and we had a little debate about whether this was better than taxing emissions (they are similar but not identical). Feedback was very positive, and I think it helped to not only inform the people there about C&C, but also about the nature of the climate change problem in general.
