Creators of carbon credit scheme cashing in on it
Canada Free Press ^ | March 13, 2007 | Judi McLeod

There's an elephant in global warming's living room that few in the mainstream media want to talk about: the creators of the carbon credit scheme are the ones cashing in on it.

The two cherub like choirboys singing loudest in the Holier Than Thou Global Warming Cathedral are Maurice Strong and Al Gore.

This duo has done more than anyone else to advance the alarmism of man-made global warming.

With little media monitoring, both Strong and Gore are cashing in on the lucrative cottage industry known as man-made global warming.

Strong is on the board of directors of the Chicago Climate Exchange, Wikipedia-described as "the world's first and North America's only legally binding greenhouse gas emission registry reduction system for emission sources and offset projects in North America and Brazil."

Little more evidence is needed to prove the whole "carbon offset" thing is a giant scam.

"With little media monitoring,"

The media has been shoving this down our throat for years, what kind of joke it this.

Al Gore has a racket going.

Buying carbon credits from himself.

Unbelievable.

This is simply inconceivable--Al part of a scam? Why--it's just not possible! Al is an icon for all that is good!

Isn't he?

.... In 1997, Strong went on to accept from Tongsun Park, the Korean man found guilty of illegally acting as an Iraqi agent, $1 million from Saddam Hussein, which was invested in Cordex Petroleum Inc., a company he owned with his son, Fred....

Follow the money . . . Oil-for-Food corruption money? While Gore was VP?

carbon credit scheme

I'm actually surprised that I am not getting any SPAM touting such schemes yet. The spammers are missing an opportunity. :)

I have seen a lot of scams in my lifetime, but the carbon credit one is the most bizarre piece of chicanery and underhandedness that I have seen yet. And, the fact that so many environazis and leftist moonbats buy into it is proof that the left has done an excellent job of dumbing down the education system to the extent that they are graduating low grade morons from high school.

So, here's a question to ask an environazi: If Al Gore buys carbon credits to offset his eggregious use of carbon-based energy for his house, how does he get his excess pollution OUT of Tennessee and over to where ever his alleged sub-carbon producing counterpart lives so that they both have an equivalent carbon neutral footprint?

Hint: Wear a face mask when you ask the question. When their head explodes trying to think that question through and develop a rational answer, the matter that gets sprayed all over you isn't pretty!

Not a single person who buys off sets can tell you exactly how it works and exactly where the money goes. They buy off sets based on faith, alone, that it is real.

Proof that environmentalism is a religion.

You are being too charitable. They do not think, they FEEL. All critical reasoning abilities have been beaten out of them by the NEA and other leftist groups.

They will not even attempt a debate; They just Jump to comfortable SubRoutines and mindlessly run them.

I do not even talk to blood relatives who vote Left. What's the point?

This is leftist elitism at its best ... Algore does not have to reduce his pollution. All he has to do is prevent some other poor schmuck from increasing his current "carbon footprint." I cannot for the life of me figure out why so many people still fawn over algore.
