It is actually quite easy to live a 'green' lifestyle. Just look at how Al Gore lives and do the opposite.

The more people hear about this nonsense, the more it will be discredited. People will wake up to the folly and recognize it is all about Social Engineering--to their detriment.

I never knew that she harbored Conservative sympathies.

Oh yes...the beautiful Ms. Keenan is not at all liked by the leftist media "watchdog" groups.

She has many times demonstrated conservative leanings in her reporting....or maybe its more accurate to say that she has often called leftists on their idiocy and hypocrisy

Carbon credits? Hah! Listening to the idiot Al Gore yesterday say he lives a carbon-neutral lifestyle - with his mansion in Tennessee and jetting around the world? My BS meter was pegged!

This cc stuff is nonsense. Everyone "pollutes" just by exhaling. What are we supposed to do, buy cc's for every breath we take?

to assuage any guilt

Guilt is usually not the real motive, envy deflection is what's really going on. Feeling guilt is a complex emotion driven by internal contemplation. Attack deflection, from envy, accusations of hypocrisy, or criticism, is a response to external pressure. It has nothing to do with being able to sleep at night. If it wasn't for the external complaints these people would do nothing. I have never seen a learjet liberal with bags under their eyes.
