You pay someone else to not create the CO2 that you will use.

For instance, if I want to burn a 60w light bulb for an hour a day, I can pay someone else to not burn one an hour a day, or plant a tree to eat up that CO2, or some other such BS.

It's a great racket - I think I'm going to start a business like this, to get paid for *not* doing something.

And who keeps track of who is burning what? Or is it whom?

Don't kid yourself for a second that libs haven't already thought of this racket for profiting from the alarmism.

Al Gore's family were farmers, so they know all about getting paid not to do something.

I live in 23 acres of woods that clean the air. Can I sell my CO2 cleaning to Algore? I am not far from him, so it could be a direct trade.... he can pay me to clean his air!

Thank you both. I missed Rush's 10:00 hour (the middle one) today and I hear he explained the whole racket. Maybe I can watch that hour later. I am sick of hearing fools ask me if I am carbon neutral. Whatta crock.
