Here's something a little more light for a Friday.

I forgot to update the video links. Here they are:

Video: Real (793 KB) or Windows (893 KB), plus MP3 (125 KB).

Others think it's a lot of bull

Umm, that would be ME

[SeanOGuano]

When did Keiran Chetry go to CNN? I thought she was a bit right thinking.

[marsapan]

Very interesting. Glad CNN is airing this.

[TheRiverNile]

I’m selling this if you’re buying it.

[cgbg]

So let me get this straight. I own a lot of land. Some corporation is going to pay me to grow trees?

Where do I sign up?

(Hey, somebody needs to get rich off the global warming scam--I nominate moi.)

Global Warming has supplanted Marxism as the new religion for the Left.

A friend of mine calls them the 21st century version of indulgences. She’s a liberal Democrat and she still thinks the they are the dumbest idea to come along in years.

[politicalwit]

Is that “carbon-free” bull?

[Pyro7480]

Her agent and Fox News had a heated dispute earlier this year, so she ended up defecting. To her credit however, earlier in her first week on CNN's American Morning, she asked a hard question of a gun control advocate.

CHETRY: "Congresswoman McCarthy, there is a school of thought that criminals are going to be able to find guns that way, even in some cases at these gun shows where it's unregulated, and they can just go and get guns. So what if we end up in a situation where we've legislated it to the point where only the bad guys are getting handguns?"

[GSlob]

No credits are needed, for this is but a greenpissing abuse of recent vintage. One is justified by faith alone, and no credits are needed, or would be of any use anyway. Now, could one please organize the whole 95 theses?

[Redcloak]

I thought that Ann Coulter nailed it when she compared carbon offsets to Papal indulgences. Global warming is the latest god for the godless.

[Pyro7480]

A friend of mine calls them the 21st century version of indulgences.

As the author of the article states, it was the selling of indulgences was an abuse.

Can ya front me till pay day?

[cdbull23]

That was my first thought as well. It's simply ridiculous. Maybe when I get a little older and start putting on some weight, I'll pay someone to exercise for me.

P.S. I just realized my 3-year Freeper anniversary was a couple of days ago...yay!

[DuncanWaring]

...a metric ton of pollution. That's about a year's worth of emissions from 216,000 cars...

I'm quite sure that this is utter hogwash.

ONE car probably produces more than a metric ton of pollution in a year.
