If I died today, I'd be putting about 200 pounds of carbon (among other things) into the environment. How do I neutralize that?

I'd listen a bit more to Al Gore if he practiced what he preached and he could start by dumping the big energy-guzzling houses and getting some small, efficient ones. He could get a discount on commercial airfare if he promised not to sit next to anyone; that is much more carbon neutral that taking a large, private craft. And Hurricane Katrina, not a global warming event. If fact, it was nothing special as far as hurricanes go...it just hit in a 'special' place. And of course if he did not give China and India a pass that would help.

The version I read about said that evil American capitalists can buy polluting coal plants in China.
The deal is that an American company buys the polluting Chinese coal plant from the Chinese and is credited with X number of carbon credits to continue operating its CO2 producing business.
The Chicoms, after getting paid off to stop producing CO2, dismantle the coal plant. Then the Chicoms rebuild the coal plant down the road to wait for the next buyer.
In turn, the evil American capitalists raise their rates on consumers to pay for buying the scam Chicom coal plant. So in the end, Americans see huge tax and goods increases that drain them of capital.
Economists at Wharton calculate this will cost each American family another $2,000 annually and throw millions of people out of work.
You might invest in throw-away Chinese coal factories to offset your family's increased cost of living expenses, but I'd guess the IRS will consider it a tax evasion scheme. The Marxists really, really want their pound of flesh from you on this scam.
Welcome to the brave new soviet world of global warming.

Does this work with dieting too? If I give some poverty stricken third-worlder a big fat check, can I eat his share of the pizza?

An enviro version of the Nigerian 419 scam. Only instead of promising non-existent riches, what is offered is non-existent CO2 reductions. The beauty of it is the scammer still gets paid. And Leftists are so guillible they fall for it - every time!

Remain carbon neutral, send money to the nuts. It has all the trappings of a protection racket.

Mr. Gore, Just who are you buying 'Carbon Credits' from?
Can we please see your receipts?
And isn't the Carbon output the same as it was before?

Those Chinese are some great capitalists, aren't they? It reminds me of the old joke about not worrying about the communist Chinese but do worry about them turning capitalist and wanting to start driving. :)

You're good to go. But you have to eat the whole pizza, because there are starving children in other parts of the world.
Hey, maybe that's where the enviroloons got the idea.

Good article. Thanks for setting us straight about Uncle Al (The Moron)Gore's buy-back-your-guilt scheme.

Is there anything better designed to make the rich richer and the poor poorer? In return for throwing a few pittances to the masses, they'll ensure that the Eco-Revolutionary Elite get to exclusively enjoy the right to live in a big house, fly wherever they want, and drive a big car while the rest of us are riding bikes and living in hovels. After all, Al's doing important work managing the environmental movement. He can't be distracted by little things like actually living like an environmentalist.
I seem to recall another group of people with a utopian vision where everyone lived in harmony with one another, while the "Revolutionary Elite" got to enjoy all the privileges. Now, if only I could remember where that was....
