Sure, you've named the star, but who really gives a rodent's behind what you've named "your" star?

I think of it more like being grossly overweight, but paying someone else to diet.

"carbon offsets"

I've got 'em for sale. FM me.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

I do

Does anyone know if Al Gore uses chlorine in his pool or does he have a bromine system? If he is using chlorine and heating his pool he is really contributing to the hole in the ozone.

I wanna be a carbon terrorist!

[Hegemony Cricket]

Maybe we could just start naming the carbon emissions?

Is Purchasing Carbon Offsets Similar To Naming A Star?

It's more like paying indulgences to have our carbon sins forgiven by the Church of Ecology, as one person on Hot Air commented.

[LowNslow]

Plenty of real Carbon credits for sale.

Five bucks and a pint will allow the purchase of unused credits on the streets of most cities.

[Nevadan]

re: Purchasing carbon offsets brokered by AlGore reminds me of the sales gimmickry surrounding the “Naming Stars” routine

That occurred to me too!

[HOTTIEBOY]

Is it just me or does Al Gore really look a lot like... Jeffery Jones?!

[bigfootbob]

I think it's more like ENRON.

[Zathras]

No.
Is an open invitation for the entire world to tax the USA.

Hey! Algore....I got you carbon offset right here!

[keepitreal]

There's a hilarious show on HGTV where Ed Bagley, Jr. saves the planet with his own energy efficient lifestyle. He had to go to some awards ceremony at Lake Tahoe and drove his Prius with the "carbon offset" bumper sticker, feeling good about saving the planet. His wife flew there commercially, with, I'm guessing, 100 other people, because she didn't want to drive. His getting on the plane with her would have made no more difference in energy consumption as the plane was already going there with other passengers. His driving himself was wasteful, but he had that cool sticker that gave him absolution. LOL

Al Gore can buy carbon credits from Pres. Bush's crawford ranch and buy sanctimony credits from everyone who doesn't buy carbon credits.

[BMC1]

And just who or what is he paying this money to? I think we need an investigation into this SCAM.

Carbon offsets are a scam, but the good news is it looks like a great way to relieve moonbats of their cash.

I think the whole carbon offset thing will backfire big time. As the global warming nuts start demanding more and more "sacrifice", the average joe will see the elites "buying" their way out of any inconvienience.
