How Green Do You Want To Be?

Radio host Glenn Beck notes today that Sunday's Oscar presenters had a very special "green" item included in their "goody bags." Each received a special dispensation from terrapass.com to reduce their annual "carbon footprint," measured in CO2 emissions, by 100,000 pounds. That's fifty tons. According to bp's carbon footprint calculator, the average American's carbon footprint is 18 tons per year.

For a $159.00 donation to terrapass, celebrities and environmentally conscious little people can have their carbon footprints symbolically offset by contributing to one of terrapass's green programs.

We don't think that's enough. For $159.00, we will have one of our operatives put down a homeless person, eliminating their carbon footprint for what would have been the remainder of his or her natural life, thus significantly reducing America's total carbon footprint. There will, of course, be other environmental and aesthetic benefits to this program.

(For the benefit of the semi-retarded who may have stumbled through the preceding by sounding out the words and mumbling to themselves, this is satire.)

This terra pass thing has been done before in fact it is over a 1000 years old. With the Catholic church a millenia ago you could buy your sins and save yourself from hell and redeem yourself. Just today it is sinning with your SUV. I wonder how long the liberals are gonna buy into this scam? Some one is laughing all the way to the bank.

5 What the hell is carbon credits?  And who gets the money when I buy one?  I suspect it ends up in China or India, as if we haven't given them enough already.  The Liberal intelligentsia is dead set on destroying America as we know it.  They are internationalists, not patriots.  Fuck them and everything they stand for.  They must be stopped.  God forgive me, but I hate those assholes.  Please, Leftards, pick up a gun,.  Give us a reasonn.

6 Carlos: Note the change.  Now some power companies and other business interests are signing on.  Why?  Why would they sign on to a big waste of money.  There is no indication that any of these changes can reverse or affect the current trend. No indication what the future trend may result it. Glogal jungel, desert, ice age no one knows. They do know thatthe changes wont be enough to reverse mans input.   What the lefties have done is make it profitable.  The power companies will have  plenty of justification to raise rates as they develop the carbon market. They will also have to "invest" in creating and installing the new technology.  None of this will be cheap. But that's OK. If your electric bill goes from 150 to 300 per month you willl care. They will earn more profit. You and most ordinary schmuks will get screwed buying power that could have been made a lot cheaper.  But al-Gore's bill will go from 30,000 per year to 60,000, but hey he's got the scratch, so he doesn't give a crap if others have to eat baloney all year to keep the lights on.

Intersting interview countering al-Gore's film on Charlie rose last week.  An actual scientist says its exaggerated crap.  Teh sea might raise 10 inches but the movie shows a giant rise and sunnami  waves. he called it fear mongering.




That's why liberals are hypocrits. When they talk poor they mean their pet voters sucking at the federal tit. They don't mean working folks. They say they'll help "the middle" but all they ever do is dig deeper into your pocket.

terrapass

So
Gore pays indulgences (carbon credits) to Leftard environmental causes
(terrapass) in order to justify his using 30 times as much energy as
the average American, while the Leftard environmental causes he pays
those "carbon credits" to use that very money to downsize the life of
regular Americans?  HAHAHAHA!!!!   I've tried, but I just don't have
the words.
