Blowing Smoke

The Financial Times has this...

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

...The growing political salience of environmental politics has sparked a “green gold rush”, which has seen a dramatic expansion in the number of businesses offering both companies and individuals the chance to go “carbon neutral”, offsetting their own energy use by buying carbon credits that cancel out their contribution to global warming.

Can you say Al Gore?

Any true eco-nut would reject this as just another rich fiberal way to salve their guilty conscience and the scientific community is united in that fact.

I've said it before, it reminds me of how the rich used to buy their way out of war (like the Civil War) by paying someone else to go.
