BERLIN AP 鈥?On a cold afternoon in late November, Jan Gerrit Otterpohl eyes the chimneys of Berlins Heizkraftwerk Mitte, a state-of-the-art power plant that supplies the city with heat and electricity. Its not the billowing steam hes interested in, but the largely invisible carbon dioxide that the power station exhales as it burns natural gas.Under European Union rules, the plants operator, Vattenfall, needs a permit for each ton of carbon dioxide it emits. Otterpohls stanley canada job is to keep costs low by making sure the company buys only as many permits as necessary, at the current market price.Economists say that carbon markets like the one Otterpohl uses can become a powerful tool in the fight against climate change, by giving emitters a financial incentive to reduce greenhouse gases. But despite making progress in other areas, governments have for years been unable to agree on the rules that would allow truly global trade in carbon permits to flourish.Negotiators at a U.N. meeting in Madrid this month are aiming to finally tackle the issue, after last year agreeing on almost all other parts of the rulebook governing the 2015 Paris climate accord.

The regiment defending the plant said Russian warplanes continued bombarding it.In recent stanley cup days, the United Nations and Red Cross organized a rescue of what some officials said were the last civilians trapped at the plant.
