I just checked out "Carbon Credits" on eBay.

Yes, indeed, you can buy them there! Apparently there are "certified" individuals out there making a big profit on this scam.

You can purchase for about $10.00 a ton.

Most of the eBay sales are for fun and are very funny. Here are a few descriptions....

"Here you have 5 full years of high volume CARBON OFFSETS to purchase against your consumption of energy. Al Gore says everyone who consumes more energy than they should will be required to purchase CARBON OFFSETS. Al speaks the truth. Please see the pictures for a better description. This is a 10 mile square area of PRISTINE WILDERNESS with enough CARBON OFFSETS for a lifestyle of 20 Al Gore's! The MASSIVE amount of ENERGY CONSUMED by the 400 LB Al Gore could be offset easily by this purchase. Good luck bidding!"

"Car-Ban Off-Sets For Sale!

If you use more energy than some on the left think that you should and would like those people to think you are more concerned about the environment than you truly are (without spending big bucks for those worthless carbon offsets)…then “Car-Ban Off-Sets” are for you!

These “Off-Sets” are good for one thing…and one thing only…to tell people that you have paid good money for green “Off-Sets” to make it seem like you haven’t used any energy at all! Imagine how you (and they) will feel when you can go about your life and do whatever you would like to do, whenever you would like to do it, and go wherever you would like to go (just like Al Gore), without worry or guilt! Go ahead, take your wife or “significant other” on your private jet or helicopter for a quick jaunt to your favorite restaurant in LA. Just tell them that you are “Car-Ban” neutral and that you have purchased “Off-Sets.” "
