""Once they have done so, he then advocates that they purchase offsets, as the Gores do, to bring their footprint down to zero.""

The whole business of carbon offsets is a laughable scam.

Just a way for guilt ridden liberals to write a check and make their "enviro guilt" go away.

Its not like these companys selling carbon offsets actually reach into the air and remove the pollutants. They are really nothing more than 21st century snake oil, designed to fleece naive rich liberals.

You got that right. I recently took a look on the net at some carbon nuetral sites and realized what a huge scam this all is.
