Carbon Offset Scam

Industry caught in carbon ‘smokescreen’
The Financial Times Ltd

Companies and individuals rushing to go green have been spending millions on “carbon credit” projects that yield few if any environmental benefits.

A Financial Times investigation has uncovered widespread failings in the new markets for greenhouse gases, suggesting some organisations are paying for emissions reductions that do not take place.

Others are meanwhile making big profits from carbon trading for very small expenditure and in some cases for clean-ups that they would have made anyway.

I know I didn't believe it... And I don't think I ever will.

p.s. I am I sensing growing tensions between Hollywood and the rest of America? Or is just my view from the North (From the Socialist Republic of Canada)? lol

Take environmental scatoscience..add media hype ,business guilt and copius amount of cash..blend in resourceful con men......could the outcome be anything else but immoral and illicit profiteering?......Reminds me of some televangelists and charity campaigns that we've all seen and that continue today as we speak...As long as there's a dollar in the wind,someone armed with a net will be chasing it.

On a similar note, I saw a bumper sticker on a Honda Accord this morning that read "My car doesn't pollute because I plant trees. For more info call..."

STFU!! is what I would say to that jackass moonbat.

So, how would one go about finding a list of companies that have bought into this "carbon offset" bullshit? I want to know, because I NEVER want to do business with them.

Just like Pepsi and Toyota caving into Jesse Jackson's racebait shakedown.
