Wow. I have heard of "big drug, big insurance, big oil and the big bad wolf. Now it looks like we'll see "BIG GREEN". This looks like the greenies own stock market. This is what Al Gore means when he talks about "fixing" global warming. I will be good for the American economy Al says. You have heard of the EU's talk of this kind of scam. Putting a surcharge/tax on airlines for the GHG they emit flying to those countries. This is the world taxing system we have all only thought about.

Smithfield Ham signed onto this. They've been under attack by environmentalists, and I'm sure they felt like this was a way to placate them. I guess the key is to make a commitment which you can meet.

After doing a little more looking at this and related sites, I found this.
"Methane Digesters. Eligible methane digesters are those that were in operation any time after 1999 and have installed biogas flow monitoring and/or electrical metering equipment. Methane is credited at 18.25 metric tons of CO2 per ton of methane, per year."
http://p2e2center.org/services.php
I have found this in many places. They "digest" methane. People get paid for this. They get the credits. Methane is a good fuel for fuel cells. Its being done in landfills today. The fuel cells produce electricity for the landfill and sells any extra.
This is not very "green" now is it.
This is a "waste of natural resources". Where are all the enviro-vangelists?

Chicago Climate Exchange Who could blame Chicagoans for wanting to exchange their climate? Even Greenland's climate would be preferable. I mean, .......oh, nevermind.

You know,........... I was thinking.......from a purely selfish perspective mind you: Why in the world don't I offer my own environmental offset services to people too stupid to ask what their money is actually buying them.
But then I realized, that I'm much too honest to clip people who'll believe anything they're told.

I got me 12 old cars up on blocks around my trailerhouse (which also ain't got no heat or air conditioner) and I figure I should be able to sell all them there "carbon credits" from these cars and such. Who is supposed to send me the check? Do I gotta send 'em pictures or something?

This looks like the greenies own stock market. This will be the new method to "take from those who produce, to give to those that don't". The New Communism.
The UN and various international types have been talking up the possibility that this kind of thing might become required. Like all flavors of communism, it won't work without government power.
Billions of dollars are at stake. I'm sure the traders are already counting their growth potential. The Lawyers will be readying for disputes. Capitalism twisted into a tool for the communists, with Green excuses this time, rather than helping the proletariat.

Look at the "members" of this group.

There HAS to be a connection to Al Gore in here somewhere. Come on Freepers. Who can find a link to Al here? Make it big in the blogosphere. Get YOUR name on the Drudge Report.

He reportedly buys his carbon credit offsets from Generation Investment Management. Neat, huh?
