Buy them from who? There isn't a country in the world that is't "carbon neutral". Western nations are cleaner than most.
What an idiot. Mind you, by 2050, there won't be much industry left in Norway anyways, just hordes of muslims protesting, holding public stonings in the streets, racing camels, herding goats, and marching Norwigian slaves around in shackles.
So how exactly does buying Carbon Credits STOP the pollution they are pumping into the air? Even IF you bought the GW BS, this is an obvious sham.

given a choice of, rolling blackouts,
or, getting re-elected...
guess what they choose?
