“If Climate Change(AKA Global Warming)is so real then why are these people allowed to preach one thing to us and live a totally different life style than they preach?”

It's a tax.
The Saudi's and the high oil prices are buying all our debt.

[Sgt Joe Friday 714]

I don;t think he is hypocritical, exactly. HE never said that he should take steps to help the environment. HE has only said that the rest of us should.

If he had said that he should take steps, that would make him a hypocrite.

Is that a hydrogen Gulfstream?

Who controls the money for the carbon credits?

[Texas Eagle]

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was offsetting his jet travel demands by purchasing green credits.

Prove it, Ahnold. Who do you buy your credits from? How much do you pay for them?

Oh, and by the way, did you take your family with you whenever you had to go out of the country to film your movies?

I didn't think so.

What this article proves is that liberals/greenies really don't give a damn about (and don't believe in) the concept of so-called carbon credits. At heart they know it's a scam. The real reason they're angry at Schwarzenegger is that his flying is high-profile -- and thus stands to expose the scam to the masses. They just won't stand for that!

Notice how now it's morphing from "carbon credits" to "green credits"? Guess even the enviro-weenies are starting to realize that the too-much-carbon argument doesn't hold water.

No. It's more like he's the Judas Goat in this....Lead by example and all that B.S.

This is like the televangelists who scream a puritanical morality but have hookers and gay trysts on the side.

Never believe anyone who protests too much.

BUSTAMANTE!

This is exactly why I cannot take the global warming scare seriously. The people who keep telling me it is a crisis and I MUST change my lifestyle, make no effort to change theirs. I refuse to be lectured by someone whose carbon footprint is bigger than mine.

[chainsaw]

Last March, we received word that Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger was offsetting his jet travel demands by purchasing green credits.

It makes no difference what he buys, his carbon footprint is still the same. A piece of paper doesn’t reduce anything. MANUFACTURING THE PAPER JUST INCREASES THE FOOT PRINT.

The Gov. is a big man so a small aircraft ( i.e. a Vari Eze) will not work but something like this Lancair IV below might, at a much lower cost.

Either that or utilize some of the telecommuting technologies that everyone else is using.
