Just a total cesspool of stupidity and ignorance. It is what keeps liberals alive and destroying America at an unprecedented rate.

If I purchase a tomatoe plant, can I get a tax credit to offset the “wind” I just generated?

Just a thought, if the dairy in Rockport, PA is getting credit for their methane project, then why can’t we get some kind of credit for the...er...”gas” we all create? Gotta think on this a little more. There must be a angle here somewhere....

A little bit of trivia. “Iron Eyes” Cody, whose crying Indian commercial helped kick off the “environmental movement” in this country, was actually an actor whose real name was Espera de Corti. He was the son of Antonio de Corti and Francesca Salpietra who moved to America from Sicily. The liberals’ envirogig has always been a fraud.

“To date, the average carbon footprints of all delegates from California, Vermont and Nevada have been accounted for through delegate participation in the program.”

Which handily identifies those states as possessing the delegates who are the most gullible, ignorant and moronic.

Give them a prize.

Hey what stops a guy, particularly a landscaper and nursery broker, from opening a carbon offset website? Although this isn’t the place to advertise. Maybe they’ll send me some cash and I’ll plant some trees.

I am sorry to sound so stupid. I never thought I was this stupid, but I have no idea how much a “carbon credit cost”. Who do you pay this to. I asume you get something in return for paying for it. This whole concept me drives me crazy. Before I pay for a carbon credit, I want to know who and how much Al Gore pays for his.

“Translation: Salve your conscience: bribe an Indian.”

Perfect.

Particularly if they can rustle up some transgendered Injuns.

At a media preview of the convention site July 8, Democratic organizers said convention activities like air and ground travel, accommodations and waste will produce an average of 1 ton of CO2 pollution per person.

The discounted prices amount to an average of $12 per ton, which company officials said is the market rate for carbon credits.

twelve bucks will plant enough trees to offset the jet travel? Highly dubious, and I'm sure they have a much higher price for the rest of us when they get this passed.

The offsets specific to the convention have resulted from a number of domestic community-based clean energy projects, including the Wray School District Wind Turbine in Wray, Colo. The utility-scale wind turbine at the site was built in January in reliance on exclusive carbon funding from NativeEnergy.

Sounds good to me.

Sayyyyyy...wait a minute. How do we know this money isn't just going into somebody's pocket?

Somewhere, someone allegedly plants a tree. Undoubtedly a single, spindly sapling. This miraculous process allows the odiferous, thoroughly unaccomplished, greasy carcass of Al Gore to be transported, fully guilt-free, in air-conditioned, V8-powered SUV comfort.
