Ofsetting CO2 pollution? I have tried to read this article about 5 times now and I have no clue what it is about. Is there anyone able to read through the double-speak in this one and explain it in 20 words or less?
It's about time travel, didn't you read the Headline?
In all seriousness it isabout the following:
Travelling from A to B in fossil-fuel powered transportation emits a given amount of CO2 into the atmosphere. This can be approximately calculated in you know the distance and type of transportation taken.
If, in turn, you wish to "offset" those emissions, you can purchase carbonn emission reduction credits and/or invest in alternative energy or planting trees that theoretically reduces the amount of carbon in the atmosphere by an amount commensurate with what one has calculated that one has released.
More simply put: If you cut a tree and burn the wood, you are pretty much even if you plant another tree.
This is coming from a 'band' that dumped 800 pounds of human waste on sightseeing tourists from their tour bus in Chicago.

Are they offsetting the polluton from the millions of fans that have driven to see one of their concerts?
Yeah but will they stop pissing in the rivers? Chicago demands an answer.....
They are going to quit exhaling. Six words, oh, now it's eight, oh no, now it's twelve. No wait, now it's.. Never mind.
