"Mr. Gore is offsetting the carbon dioxide emitted in order to heat his house, by purchasing credits which represent conservation of energy— that is, someone else is forgoing the production of CO2, which means that if Gore wants to engage in a little extra polluting, he can buy the credits for not polluting from elsewhere, and it’s all hunky-dory. Get it? I confess, I don’t get it."

What's not to get? It's very simple: "From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs."

Get that!
