I planted 20 4-5 ft. blue spruce trees in my yard last spring and plan to plant 20 more this spring. Where to I sign up to get my credits?
There’s a little green peeking through right now, although it’s pretty pale this time of year. Whatever green there is should be covered in another thick layer of global warming within 4 or 5 days...
Let’s paint concrete green and pretend it’s grass!

We are going to take things away from you for the greater good.

I’m running my 2 SUVs all might because it’s cold outside and loving it.
I value my home in the burbs where my wife can walk to the store at night and be safe.
But if dems value other stuff, I suggest they pack themselves into tight, tall, little boxes and walk around on the streets between the boxes looking hip and being sensitive. We would encourage them to wear billboards advertising their low carbon footprint. The local rag could feature heartwarming stories about pigeons they have saved. The could spend a lot of time understanding what they did to make muggers mug them. They could wonder where the muggers got guns as guns would be strictly prohibited there. They could have little boxy "churches" with homosexual bishops who deny the divinity of Christ and call themselves Christian anyway (but not in public) and have little reeducation boxes for anyone who does so in public.
Then we build a large double fence around the box community and tell them it's an exclusive, gaia-friendly, gated community.
If they cannot adjust what they "actively value" to socially acceptable norms and move voluntarily, we will force them out of the homes and into a box at gunpoint, of course, using due process at every step.
A key element in making this plan work is that all voting locations would be outside the gates and the gates would be locked on election day.
Heck. I'm an urban planner. And what I just proposed sounds a lot like the Warsaw ghetto, which is what the urban planners are shooting for--a docile, controlled population that does the bidding of it's masters.
When an article begins with bunk one has to assume that the rest is bunk and sure enough the body is full of things we "need" to do and stuff we just "have" to do. No sale.
I have 5000 spruce trees in my yard. Is that green?
Yep. 300 million Americans and 1 billion Chinese who collectively arrive at the same decision are "dopey". It's only the author who possesses the savvy to see a better path.
I couldn’t care less how green or un-green my neighborhood is.
I ripped out eight trees yesterday. Nobody will give me carbon credits for the other 100, so there.
It was pretty darned green until winter (A.K.A. Global Warming caused by Bush and Haliburton) set in and caused all the trees to drop their leaves. I say we need a new tax to fix this.
