...Each carbon credit represents a 1-ton cut in carbon dioxide emissions.
Then the next paragraph
Once certified, these credits can be sold for $5 to $15 each on the global carbon market, and the buyer can use them as a permit to emit 1 ton of carbon dioxide elsewhere in the world. The most likely buyers are from European Union countries, where polluters must pay fines if they do not have enough carbon allowances.
They can say that with a straight face.
Where is the cut in carbon emissions??
They are just moving the emissions around, and making money doing it.
If you’re robbing Peter to pay Paul, you can always count on having Paul’s support, only in this case Paul’s name is Al Gore.
“They are just moving the emissions around, and making money doing it.”
BINGO!!!!!
***They are just moving the emissions around, and making money doing it.***
THAT’S IT!
Buy a carbon credit and KEEP ON POLUTING. And Al Gore and his partner in a firm that SELLS carbon credit get richer and richer.
The guy who invented carbon credits has to be a descendant of P.T. Barnum...
