When you have a 100% liberal news network(MSNBC) exposing Al Gore and his "carbon neutral" claims as nothing but a pure scam, you know that Al Gore and his junk science claims are getting ready to take the proverbial downhill ride to the trash bin of history.

First...this is how "carbon offsets/credits" work. It is the most childish, asinine, do-nothing thing the liberals have foisted upon an unsuspecting public...you people need to really wake up. You have to be virtually brain dead to buy into this crap.

Think in terms of the mafia coming to your store and telling you that if you pay them protection money, they'll let you continue to operate as usual....this is how C02 offsets work. If you agree to pay a certain amount of money monthly/yearly to some idiot alternative energy business(windmills, solar, etc), these businesses will issue x-amount of C02 offset credits to you...it's nothing but a piece of paper saying your $dollars bought x-number of C02 credits from Joe's Windmill Shop...based on some math formula.

If you buy enough of this worthless C02 play money(credits), you can then say, like Al Gore, that you live a "carbon-neutral" life. Are you polluting less...NO! Have you reduced your energy use...NO!! Do you emit the same amount of C02...YES!!! This is what the environmentalists are demanding from you and me. This is what the Koyoto Treaty calls for. This is more liberal insanity display.

We know from public access to Al Gores utility records for 2005 & 2006 that he and his wife burn four times the fossil fuel & emit four times the C02 footprint from their home than does the average home in Tennessee...their home state. Lying Al Gore claims to live carbon neutral life because in his lying mind he thinks buying C02 offset credits lets him off the hook. The only way Al Gore can live a carbon neutral life is to first stop breathing because he exhales C02 with each breath. Second, stop using all the electricity & gas in his home...don't start any gas-driven engine, no bar-b-Q-ing, do not disturb the soil in any manner...stop buying all products produced in this nation. In other words...Al Gore must be dead or take a time-travel trip back to the stone age before the advent of fire before he can ever claim to be a carbon-nuetral person.

Buying goofy paper C02 offset credits based on some math formular does not make you carbon neutral.

Global Warming debate is just starting, folks!
