What in hell is this about? You can pollute all you want, and pay for it? Well that makes sense to the rich, and the corporations I suppose. I see it working into a new tax, just for being alive on the planet. Who will the beneficiaries be? Certainly not the general population. Be afraid, very afraid. This is just a scam, and will eventually be a religion if Al Gore has his way.</p> Looks like Al Gore has created a new way to make money for some, at the expense of most of us.

As for integrity of most Offset Projects (CDM/JI) - the real problem is not the integrity of the actual reductions - the problem is in the CDM Executive Board. Its constant revision, non scientific analysis, and a general disregard for commercial markets has rewarded non sustainable projects and destroyed other, more sustainable projects. I can only hope that the US follows CCAR's lead in Project Offset Standards.</p> The actual problem with the Carbon Market to date lies in the inability to properly design the underlying C&T.

Give trilllions to UN huh, cause they really know how to manage money?

The chicken litttle globalists have tried this strategy at least 3 times in the last 50 years. Once it was cooling, then cooling and warming, now warming – each time about money and liberty that we give away for the sake of the planet, but really for the sake of the con-artists.

Its a hoax folks.
