Say, I find tracts of barren uncultivable lands-- and cultivate bio-diesel and other plantations somehow-- do i earn Carbon Credits? Can I trade them?

first realize that this is all a marketing scam, then realize it takes more energy to produce ethanol and bio diesel from plants than it produces when used. severely inefficent. and as far as i know you can't trade carbon credits

Plant something.
But you will have to do it in a way which uses less fossil energy than is replaced by the products you produce. You dont cultivate biodiesel, you grow crops which can be processed into fuel.
And as for trading you need the scheme to be in place first.
Now there is a chicken and egg dilemma.

You can't grow carbon credits.
Only Al Gore can produce the credits. Only Al Gore can rofit by selling them.
Quit trying to horn in on Al Gore's scam.
What are you? A Capitalist?

"Carbon Credits" is like money .. it can only be issued by Governments (same people who print money) ..
It's just another money making scam by Government ...planting a tree (or forest) to 'offset' your Holiday flight (or whatever) is simply wasting time, effort and energy that would be better spent designing & building less polluting power stations, cars and aircraft ..
