Hotair
Hot air is the amount by which Russia's Kyoto Protocol target (for 2008-2012) exceeds its probable emissions in 2012 even without any abatement actions. In other words, even if Russia undertook no actions to reduce their GHG emissions, they would still be below their Kyoto Target. Under some proposed trading schemes, the hot air could be traded and might be worth a lot of money.
