If they were TRULY about what they say, they would shut down this "buying carbon credits" bull instantly. The whole idea is ludicrous--they're creating this "limit" for pollution, and buying the amount some people can use for their own use.
If they were really for reducing pollution, then they would demand ALL people stay below this invented limit. Al Gore or some bushman who doesn't own a car, EVERYONE has the same limit.
That would give Al Gore the opportunity to give MORE to the cause because he would have to sacrifice more.
But of course, he doesn't see it that way. He doesn't feel ALL of us should observe this limit on pollution--he can pay an indulgence and make MORE than his fair share of pollution because he's rich, and, well, he's a liberal democrat.
If these people were TRULY against pollution, they would stop with the flim-flam and simply pollute less. But they're not, so they follow an environmentalist who produces 20 times more pollution than the average American household.
That's the left for ya!
The Cathedrals to the dirt god will be built with the sale of carbon indulgences (and at the peasants' expense). Old concept, really.
Archbishop Gore's has decreed it thus.
How medieval.
I wonder if anybody did a survey of what kinds of cars were in the parking lots at these concerts? My bet would be they were chock full of gas guzzling SUV's or old smoking VW buses.....
I used to have a hardcore greenie neighbor who felt good about himself for recycling and loved to mention his latest environmental exploits. I'm hardly nosy but it became pretty obvious on trash day that the recycler generated more garbage than anyone else on the street. Typically three to four overflowing jumbo cans from a household of one vs. the usual two cans - lids on neatly - on the curbs of families of four. Just bizarre.
