Transiting through SFO the other day, I noticed a number of kiosks where one can purchase carbon offsets for one’s flight. To feel good if you are crossing the country costs @ $12.00, or 30x the actual going rate. To feel good for a Transpac flight might cost as much as $20. Somehow, I think Al Gore is lurking somewhere in the background. Of course, that nasty carbon will probably just blow right back across the Pacific from China in a couple of days.

Stupid people! How is giving someone money going to help your jet pollute less?? Morons.
I am selling HELIUM Credits, for those who wish to see the SUN continue providing LIGHT and HEAT.

SUN BRIGHT.
Purchase your travel helium offset here: UCANSEE2 @FreeRepublic.com
You sell nothing, no overhead except to plug in the machine and keep all the money. Great scam.
Was there a kiosk to get your black baby off-sets ?

I want one so I can set it up here in L.A. This place is crawling with gullible idiots too.
Is this for real? Please, please tell me this is a clever photoshop and I’m being gullible.
Nope, this is for real, at the San Francisco airport.
I should start an online business selling carbon credits at a discount to the market, they’ll probably put out a hit on me.
I would feel better investing in a 24 pack of Bud Lite. What a bunch of Saps.
What morons these liberals are.
It is the modern day equivalence of ‘buying’ dispensation from the Church or doing pennance.....
I’m selling carbon credits to all you rubes..err I mean concerned environmentalists and liberals, for 50 bucks. I assure you all the money you donate will be placed into my bank account...err I mean, will be used to plant trees in the Amazonian Rainforest. Please forward to:
That was my thought exactly.
“What morons these liberals are.”
Obviously, the underlying problem here is that they have too much success and money, and cannot deal with the accompanying guilt. They need to be relieved of this horrible burden, by people better equipped to handle it.
It will be EXTREMELY difficult for me to shed a tear when the whole evil place slides into the ocean.
Actually it would be great if this was set up by a conservative capitalist who is, for all intents and purposes, making money off of left wing mental cases at virtually no investment cost.
What makes you think we aren’t?
