Nathan Ballard, a spokesman for Mayor Gavin Newsom, said a portion of each offset purchase would go to the San Francisco Carbon Fund, which supports local projects such as energy-efficiency programs and solar panel installations for low-income housing, as well as efforts to convert waste oils into biodiesel fuels.

No doubt the other "portion" would go into some political slush fund.
 
Are these the same freaks that are protesting the new football stadium at UC Berkley (Cal) by living in trees and ********************ting in buckets?
 
Carbon credits are a joke. They don't stop pollution, they are just salve for the conscience of the weak-minded.

You want to put up solar panels, windmills and drive a hybrid or ride a bike, good for you. You're actually accomplishing something.

You want to fly and drive a Suburban and buy carbon offsets to help the environment--neutralize your impact, you're a hypocrite or a moron.

There are some really good things we can do to help the environment out there. This isn't one of them.

P.S.--Don't make this a Liberal v. Conservative argument. I've been F#@ked by both...
 
There's a sucker born every minute...

These idiots buying carbon offsets really need to check where their "feel good" money is going. Have a friend who has been in Japan for a couple of years - they are big into paying for carbon offsets. Problem is a lot of money is going to some dictator in Africa (can't remember which one) who has made a lot of money (thus keeping himself in power) selling "carbon offsets".
 
Carbon Offsets is just another "vehicle" for commodities traders to make money. It's a shell game.

I'm going to incorporate, sell carbon offsets and rake in the dough. These people should be without their money if they're stupid enough. "A fool and their money will soon be depart..."
