Being the currently unemployed slob that I am, I even went through the trouble of creating a nice little Carbon Offset Certificate in Powerpoint this afternoon. I figured that if Algore, the upstanding former Vice-President can do it, why can't I? My solution to the problem would be to walk to the beach, swim out a little ways into the ocean and relieve my bladder. The nitrates I add to the water will be nutrients for algae that will then grow and absorb massive quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere! Buying the credits from me would fund the purchase of the beer needed.

There are people auctioning off such certificates on E-bay. And suckers are bidding for them. Al Gore & Co. have given the world a whole new racket.
