"If Al Gore really believed that climate change is a problem and that human activity is part of the problem, he'd reduce his "extraordinary personal energy usage" and buy the "carbon offets" ANYWAY."

I wish he would live in a cold dark cave for the remainder of his life so we don't have to see or here of him again.

Gore...."I didn't know I owned that firm. I was drinking too much ice tea at that meeting and had to pee when it was discussed." Sounds like Forrest Gore.

And it obviously will be the "trendy" thing for all the rich libs to buy their idiotic carbon set offs from Gore's company.

Gore has described the lifestyle he and his wife Tipper live as "carbon neutral," meaning he tries to offset any energy usage, including plane flights and car trips, by "purchasing verifiable reductions in CO2 elsewhere."

What exactly is "verifiable reductions in CO2" ????

Are the Windmill Farms??

Solar panel Farms??

A certificate ??

Or is this all just a scam like the Dot Com Companies in the 90's

[spokeshave]

If Big Al and Tipper want to live in a carbon environment I suggest they get carbonized like Harrison Ford in the StarWars movie

Where does he buy these reductions? From dead people? People in third world countries who don't even have electricity?

And if he can buy reductions (which doesn't actually involve money), why can't we?

[Arrowhead1952]

I think I'll start a company that sells these "offsets"....there are so damn many FOOLs out there, I could get rich off them.

I am willing to sell "carbon offsets" to anyone who needs them for me not turning on the TV tomorrow morning to watch the Sunday talk shows.

[Cheapskate]

Or better yet, Get LIBRATS to pay for your new fishin lake.

I saw an article where Ray Scott would design your very own Bass lake!

Sorry about the double post. The first time I got timed out.

[right wing]

This is so rich, I've got to go take an alka-seltzer!

[mylife]

I gotta hand it to Al Bore. He devised a beautiful scheme!
Its all legal and delivers what is promised to the purchasers of the credits.

Im almost sad that the media has picked up on how beutiful it is for the owners of the carbon credit business.

Its interesting to note that No one at DU is even discussing this, but they have to be feeling very burned.
If they found out that GWB owned the company they would be screaming their fool heads off about how they were being decieved and preyed upon L0L

[The Great RJ]

True hypocrisy is the homage vice gives to virtue.

[MediaMole]

If I reduce my personal production of greenhouse gasses by, for example, reducing my intake of beans, can I start selling offsets?

[Mike Darancette]

"To be blunt, Gore doesn't buy 'carbon offsets' through Generation Investment Management – he buys stocks."

I'll bet he takes a tax deduction.

I bet GW doesn't have one of these in his back yard!

[Mo1]

I would love to know all the little details of this so-called company ... because it sure smells of a scam to me

[eleni121]

Carbon Gore can take his "carbon offsets" and stick 'em where the sun don't shine.
