I can't believe anyone who's seriously "green" buys into this scheme. Only charlatans like Al Gore--"Do as I say, not as I do"--could go for this snake oil.
In MD they have a place called Olney. They almost have guilt. Almost Olney only guilt. Good thing I'm around, or it would be only Olney.
The article says, "only charlitans like Al Gore...". Ah, so he is responsible! Maybe he will give me a discount on only offsets.
yeah, I know it's stupid. So is global warming. It's also 0420 and I'm fried from no sleep. I've only been awake, and I'm feeling guilty...
I think you’ve mislpaced an “only”.
Not just carbon credits, the whole environmental movement is about assuaging guilt. When you are guilty you wouldn’t mind paying higher taxes knowing your money is being put to ‘good use’.
For example, every person would be alloted x number of pounds of Carbon emissions, that must be presented every time you fill up your car. If you have any credits left over, you can sell them to someone else.
Then you have something tangible to barter.
This will be the 21st century's equivalent to the Catholic Church's Indulgences racket of centuries past. These scammers are trying to frenzy the market like the Dutch tulip bulb mania, and then walk away with the billions in ill gotten capital scot free. Evil evil people who are destroying the lives of billions and killing millions of third world people to follow their scheme to it's logical conclusion, complete collapse of the carbon trading market, and discrediting of anything and everything "global warming" related in the slightest.
Algore - Ignorant, stupid, or liar?
Ignorant means that someone does not know something. This could mean they did not have access to the truth. It’s not realisic to think that Algore has not had access to the truth. There is a great deal of information about the truth of “carbon credits” available.
Stupid means that someone does not have a reasoning ability. This can happen when someone is blinded by idealogy.
A liar is someone who says things they know are not true.

"The earths atmosphere is only made up of 0.0383% CO2 which you can literally call 'zero point zero'. On top of that, 2/3rds of the earth is covered with water of which contains algae and other life forms that suck up CO2. Add on top of that all the plant life that that covers almost all of the land on earth that sucks up CO2. So as you see, all this talk by me saying that man made CO2 emissions will destroy the earth is complete and utter bullsh*t."
The Kyoto accord was just another name for Carbon Credits. It was an International scam that the world almost fell for a scam that would ahve ruined us had George Bush not realised it for what it was.
IMHO, I’ve always assumed that “carbon credits” are code for how an AL Gore presidency intends to deal with the consequences of pulling out of Iraq.......
I’m planting a couple of trees and sprucing up the yard this year. Can I pick up a standard Carbon Credit Form at my local Home Depot....I’ll be sure to include the receipt and any bar codes necessary to get my “credit”.
The hubby’s looking at coveted John Deere lawn mower (gas guzzler model) and the credit would go a long way to fulfill his dreams. He even promises to sell the grass cuttings to help develop green fuel to fill up the Hummer.
Shocking, just SHOCKING I tell you!
Liberals are idiots.
Future historians may look at such inanities as “Carbon credits” and regard our era as one where insanity was the order of the day.
Carbon credits.... can I use these at ANY mall? I love shopping.
I think conservatives should get behind this idea and become the primary carbon offset providers. I can’t think of a better way to redistribute the wealth of some of these econuts that have more money than sense.

My dogs have substantially reduced their intestinal emissions since I adopted more effective methods to keep then out of the used kitty litter. Because if this, I’m prepared to sell dog gas carbon credits to anyone who wants to buy them from me at $100 dollars apiece.
This is a picture of a white cedar tree growing on my property which I will KILL unless you buy the carbon offsets from me!
So this isn't just about some anonymous carbon credits anymore, this has just become personal!
Just look at this magnificent, mature white cedar! This year it's trunk's girth will exceed 8 inches, meaning... THE TIMBER COMPANY WANTS IT!
Sooooooooooo..... this is kind of all up to you.
This wonderful tree can spend the next decade scrubbing the enviro-toxins out of the air because YOU saved it, or it can wind up as plywood by July!
I'm serious. I've done this before. Don't call the police or FBI.
