"Carbon neutral" is the biggest scam since "oil for food". Basically you give money to third world politician, who then pockets it but claim he will do something good, like protect the rain forest or some other BS, and you can be like Al Gore, feeling morally superior, not in the real world, by in the twisted liberal fantasy you find yourself unable to escape.

"Rain Forest" - hmpf - I went to see one of those once, but was major-league disappointed - it had been overrun by a dadgum jungle...

I wish one of these tree hugger types would pay me for my non-used CO2 credits. I think you can get a pack of 12 credits at the Piggly Wiggly pretty cheap.

"Carbon neutral" is a scam. A liberal friend of mine said she thought it was a good idea. So I asked her what was going to happen to the money we sent to third world nations so that they wouldn't produce "green house" gasses. She said she didn't know. So then I pointed out that for money to be worth anything you have to buy something with it i.e. goods or services. So where are they going to get the goods from if they aren't producing things themselves? From the West. And what's that going to take to produce things? Energy! No savings in carbon whatsoever.

Another thing to ask Gore would be "Why just "carbon neutral"? Why not "carbon negative"? If you were at a concert where the concert goers left a bunch of trash and someone said it would destroy the earth don't you think they would pick up more than their own soda cup?
