Is it just me or does Al Gore really look a lot like... Jeffery Jones?!

Purchasing carbon offsets brokered by AlGore reminds me of the sales gimmickry surrounding the “Naming Stars” routine; except with star naming, everyone understands from the onset, it’s a novelty item.
I think of it more like being grossly overweight, but paying someone else to diet.

LMAO!
I do
Does anyone know if Al Gore uses chlorine in his pool or does he have a bromine system? If he is using chlorine and heating his pool he is really contributing to the hole in the ozone.
Perfect analogy!
My home star is K-Pax!
I wanna be a carbon terrorist!
He does use chlorine in his pool but he is paying me not to use chlorine in my pool. /humor
Maybe we could just start naming the carbon emissions?
It's more like paying indulgences to have our carbon sins forgiven by the Church of Ecology, as one person on Hot Air commented.
Right on the money.
Reminds me of Je$$e Jack$on'$ "rolling" hunger strike a few years back.

Plenty of real Carbon credits for sale.
Five bucks and a pint will allow the purchase of unused credits on the streets of most cities.
hmmm, you can do that?
;=)
I think it's more like ENRON.

LOL Is that how Al is keeping his perfect figure these days???
Go ahead and GOOGLE "carbon offsets".
You will find plenty of organizations willing to take your money in exchange for these 'credits' that really don't amount to anything.
In fact, the paper they are printed on or the bandwidth used to transmit the credits probably uses up a good deal of carbon itself!

Sounds Catholic-like process to me. Only without any God involved.
That occurred to me too!
LOL! When I read Mrs. OLA the story about AlGore's business, Mrs. OLA remarked: This sounds like "Star Naming."

There's a hilarious show on HGTV where Ed Bagley, Jr. saves the planet with his own energy efficient lifestyle. He had to go to some awards ceremony at Lake Tahoe and drove his Prius with the "carbon offset" bumper sticker, feeling good about saving the planet. His wife flew there commercially, with, I'm guessing, 100 other people, because she didn't want to drive. His getting on the plane with her would have made no more difference in energy consumption as the plane was already going there with other passengers. His driving himself was wasteful, but he had that cool sticker that gave him absolution. LOL
Al Gore can buy carbon credits from Pres. Bush's crawford ranch and buy sanctimony credits from everyone who doesn't buy carbon credits.
Is it just me or does Al Gore really look a lot like... Jeffery Jones?!"
Looks more like one of the drinkers in the bar scene in Star Wars...
And just who or what is he paying this money to? I think we need an investigation into this SCAM.
See my post on this thread: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1793236/posts?page=14#14
Carbon offsets are a scam, but the good news is it looks like a great way to relieve moonbats of their cash.
I think the whole carbon offset thing will backfire big time. As the global warming nuts start demanding more and more "sacrifice", the average joe will see the elites "buying" their way out of any inconvienience.
These phony liberals are the picture of excess consumption. They'll spend two grand on a purse and five hundred bucks for a pair of shoes. Their bed sheets cost more than most of us earn in a month. The amount many of them pay for gas and electric exceed what the average homeowner pays as a mortgage. They have to have several homes, i.e., a mansion as their primary residence, a ranch in Montana or Wyoming, an apartment in NYC, a condo or beach house in Hawaii, all of which they travel between at their whim. Let these pukes move to a modest home, drive a single fuel-efficient vehicle and travel mostly by public transportation, then maybe I'll pay some attention to their blabber about my carbon footprint.
I just don't understand how people can't see through this scam. I really need to open up one of these businesses...I can even see ways to have it be profitable on multiple ends: will plant trees! (and then sell them to lumber mills)...hmmm...
Not only that, but Al is making a profit off of this scam....

LOL!!
That's a great analogy.
A FOOL and his MONEY are soon parted. Are you listening ALGORE and Hollywierd?
To a front company he owns, or has a major stake in. It's on a thread somewhere around here.
I guess he got tired of selling his Occidental petroleum stock.
Do you think algore has the sign by his pool that says, "Don't pee in our pool, we don't swim in your toilet!"
Or do you think he gave Bill Clinton a key to the pool house so when he is in town, he can swing by with a waitress from the local truck stop?
Carbon offsets are so 2006...
I've got the hottest thing in element offsets.
Get your nitrogen offsets here!
When I was a child in Catholic School, Sister Victorette told us that by saying daily indulgences, we could offset (pay-off) the minutes in firey hell that we rack up for each of our daily sins. As fifth graders, we concluded that this system was waaaay cool -- that we could still sin and get away with very little sacrifice.
So far, so good. So, where does Gore buy his ‘carbon offsets’? According to The Tennessean newspaper’s report, Gore buys his carbon offsets through Generation Investment Management. a company he co-founded and serves as chairman:
Ebay has several carbon offsets for sale by clever individuals. I need to get into this racket. I can design some frilly important looking document, print them out, and get some guilty environmentalist Gorebot to buy them. Maybe go to the theaters where "The Inconvenient Truth" is showing and set up a booth. I'll have my fishing cabin in no time.
I've got some methane offsets I need to unload.
I'm selling "monetary offsets". For every dollar you send me, I promise not to spend $10.00... For example: You send me $1000.00 and I promise NOT to spend $10,000.00. You can send your payment to my paypal account at urasucker@scam.com.
Bromine is far more reactive than chlorine and has been blamed for ozone loss proportionately.
Ozone purification is the way to go, not of the air but actively used in the pool.
