because the term exudes "moron"

My high school biology is fuzzy, but I recall a lecture on how green plants breathe in carbon dioxide and emit oxygen. If we limit carbon dioxide, doesn't that adversely affect green plants?

Stars join in on the world's most difficult task... Helping Al Gore stamp out solar warming.

Man, and I have been meaning to get in on this scam, too.

I can plant pine trees on my land for $100 a shot charged to the ecoidiots, and cut them down in five years, then sell them back to the idiots as christmas trees.

Looks like a win-win to me.

The environuts have a long way to go to repay their carbon "debt" for stopping the development of nuclear power in the US. The US burns three tons of coal per *second* that could be coming from nuclear power instead.

The practicalities of "offsetting" carbon dioxide emitted when flying, driving cars, even getting married are increasingly simple.

I refuse to atone for something I have no control over. I can't help it that my car uses gasoline. I use it primarily to get to work as there is no other way for me to get there.

The idea that I should even consider feeling guilty about this is just ridiculous. I will reserve my guilty feeling for action of mine that I do have control over.

Should the fact that my wife maintains 100 roses in our yard (along with many more annuals) make us feel better about ourselves?

Wait a minute and I will check......

Nope. Did'nt think so. I have to go get into my V8 Jeep 4x4 now to run to the store for ice cream.

What about the global warming hysteria isn't a scam?

One bag of chips and I cease to be carbon neutral.

Note to Leonardo DiCaprio and Al Gore: Please, by all means, become "carbon neutral". Of course, there's only one way that actually works, stop breathing.

[Old Professer]

Carbon neutral is for wimps; us real men are holding out for Carbon-free, no carbon at all, zip, nada, zilch, zero -- we're standing tall for a Hydrogen only economy and the sooner, the better.

A growing array of companies offer to calculate how much carbon dioxide such activities give off and how much money should be. . .MONEY?

Money given? . . .Oh, come on. Isn't this all one needs to know. . .and as 'far' as we need to go. . .to 'get it'. . .and what it means to be green - if only by envy; or rather; in this case; carbon-neutral green?

Lol, for sure; and a name only a Lib could love; the mind-set of those who 'burrito like' wrap themselves into the idea of the non-competitive -'egaliarian'. . .level - neutral playing field of life; whereby the 'green stuff' gets redistributed; from who earn it; to those who 'yearn it'. . .

. ..which in reality of course, is neither equal; nor 'neutral' by concept or implementation.

As for the color of these people, however; 'green' works.
