As long as I can, I will refuse to buy "carbon credits" because I am not doing anything wrong. My car has a catalytic converter which changes the exhaust to CO2 and water vapor, which is what environmentalists wanted. Al Gore's "Carbon offset Taxes"! Yep, that's what he calls them are a scam so he can make more money as well as others who stand to make a killing skimming off money we pay for going about our lives.And it gets worse, I read an article that tells of some dumb politicians who want to pass a law that makes new mothers pay $5,000 for the birth of each child, plus an additional $800 a year for every year that child lives to offset the child's "carbon foot print." The comment was made, "Why reward them (money given at baby showers) when they should be made to pay.Isn't interesting that the only way to stop global warming is always some method of emptying our bank accounts? Why is that? Why are AGW proponents salivating over the prospect including themselves, at being shackled into economic slavery? Very strange.

In 1970s the EPA and other Earth loving do gooders demanded that pollution be controlled on automobiles. Enter the cataylitc converter. Now cars are polluters once again. So in reality we need to blame the environmentalists and the EPA for their misguided "solutions".Just wait, when the African countries cannot develop industry or use the recourses they have at hand, then the same bunch that cried to make it so will be looking to blame companies for not investing in the African people and thus starving them.For many of these people activism is their hobby, and all of their projects MUST have boogie men. If "global warming" were to be stopped within the next hour, there would be something else en vouge to protest and cry about.Anyone remember "the homeless". Big in the 80's. Big press, big political issue...hmmm....they all must be in houses now, eh?USA for Africa...Well, I guess we fed them all. Don't hear much else about it.Oh...AIDS, did we cure that or something. For a while it was all the rage...today?

As long as the sky is free there's little incentive to change the status quo.Caveat Emptor.

You're not ready to shell out some hard earned cash for the right to produce CO2 - you're like most people. Some people buy them - Al Gore seems to buy them from himself.I haven't destroyed a piece of the sky. The hole in the ozone layer has been there since we had the technology to observe it.
