""The Sydney-based Easy Being Green says it will mitigate your cat's flatulent contribution to global warming for 8 Australian dollars, or $6. The same company could also make your granny "carbon-neutral" at 10 dollars a year, according to a report in the Australian newspaper last weekend."
Wait until they put a greenhouse gas emission tax on beans. Methane (the primary component of flatulance) is a much worse greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide.
Re: Nigerian carbon emission credits; "I have a million tons of carbon emission credits, but I need $2000 to get them out of Nigeria. If you pay me that much, I will split the carbon emission credits with you 50:50." Don't worry, what is going on now is probably just about as reputable as a 419 scam, and so are most of the people behind the "carbon emission trading" movement.
Also, bovine animals and sheep are major greenhouse gas sources (methane from flatulence). I plan to go into the business of not raising cattle and sheep (so I can claim greenhouse gas credits to resell), and I would like to know what kinds of cattle and sheep are best not to raise. I will start by not raising 1000 this year, but I hope to expand my operations to not raising 2000 next year.
