Insanity.

[EGPWS]

Brazil's largest city sold millions of dollars worth of carbon credits at an auction Wednesday in a deal that experts said paves the way for developing countries to make money fighting global warming.

Sheeple longing for fulfillment to fill the void between the ears.

[beltfed308]

Just follow the money to find the root of this Ponzi scheme.

[EGPWS]

The United States has not signed the treaty.

For the sake of humanity and our sovereign nation, let's keep it that way!

[HereInTheHeartland]

We are descending into a age of ignorance and superstition similar to the Middle Ages.
Believing in global warming, carbon credits etc, is like believing in leprechauns and trolls.

[EGPWS]

The Kyoto Protocol caps the amount of greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane produced by power plants and factories in more than two dozen countries. Such gases are believed to contribute to the warming of the Earth's atmosphere.

Soon to come will be a drive to finance very large corks to plug all the volcano's on earth.

Catholic Church Claims First With Indulgence Auction

Bunch of friggin idiots.

[EGPWS]

Believing in global warming, carbon credits etc, is like believing in leprechauns and trolls.

It's sacrilegious arrogance that makes some believe that we as humans are actually god's and can alter the fate of the universe.

[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

” like believing in leprechauns and trolls.”
Don’t forget believing in oGre s too!

[monkeycard]

This is almost as funny as the “carbon tax” imposed upon the subjects of the UK.

[Grimmy]

Maybe they should design and build a brand new capital city, again?

[HereInTheHeartland]

” It’s sacrilegious arrogance that makes some believe that we as humans are actually god’s and can alter the fate of the universe.”

That’s a very good observation, what you said is a very “root” idea that most don’t understand.
It very much underlies much of the left’s thought processes.

[EGPWS]

It very much underlies much of the left’s thought processes.

Try following their thought process politically and it will lead to insanity if one places too much focus on it. ; ) (twitch...twitch...)

[Triggerhippie]

Who *does* end up getting the money?

[EGPWS]

Who *does* end up getting the money?

Those who didn't earn it in the first place.

Today via the U.N.

Tomorrow? Who knows.

[Mike Darancette]

The USA could save over 300 million metric tonnes of CO2 every year by deporting the 20 million illegal aliens.

[John Jorsett]

If I’m paid enough, I won’t build a 200 megawatt coal-powered generating plant in my garage. The carbon savings will be enormous. What am I bid?

[Enduring Freedom]

I promise not to burn down my house.

Send me $100 - cash.

[Tax Government]

What am I bid for all the atmospheric carbon dioxide in the northern hemisphere?

[chmst]

Send me $100 and I will go out and burn an old tire in Al Gore’s name. A reverse carbon off-set.
