How Carbon Credits Trading Works by Benton Bain

Carbon offsets are a strange concept. Let me show you in layman terms how it works: Al Gore goes to an Italian restaurant and eats a loaf of garlic bread, a plate of lasagna, a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, an extra large pizza with seven toppings, a couple bottles of expensive wine and a large assortment of pastries.

As a result, he puts on 10 pounds. But he is deeply concerned that mankind is getting too fat. So he pays 10 peasants in Asia $10 each to eat nothing for a week.

Although they are already skinny, by starving themselves for a week, they each lose a pound. As a result, after a week, mankind is weight neutral.

Al Gore weighs 10 pounds more, 10 Asians weigh 10 pounds less -- and Al Gore is given another Nobel Propaganda Prize for his leadership in keeping mankind's obesity in check.

Of course, this example is not quite fair to Gore because that imagined humanitarianism actually costs him cash money.

In the real carbon offset business, he looks forward to being paid for directing other carbon consumers to invest in carbon neutral projects through Generation Investment Management which Gore is the founder and chairman.

So Gore will profit from mankind's misery. I'm glad to see he finally has developed the capitalist instinct (like his daddy did with Occidental Petroleum and Armand Hammer).

When Gore personally is using carbon, as when he flies in a carbon belching Gulfstream jet, one of his companies would pay some other guy not to fly or plant a tree or do something to offset Gore's carbon belching so that Gore can feel elated about himself and live as he wants.

Under the TRILLION DOLLAR Kyoto Protocol's trading scheme to determine the offset of emissions and the amount of CO2 that needs to be paid for will be controlled by the same organization that controlled the pittance BILLION DOLLAR Iraqi Food for Oil SCAM with Saddam, the anti-America/anti-capitalist
corrupt United Nations!!!

Socialist French President Jacques Chirac said in 2000 the UN's Kyoto Protocol represented "the first component of an authentic global governance."

  • Fighting pollution is a noble cause.

    Lying about a non-pollutant that is essential to plants, CO2, to make big bucks, is as ignoble as you can get.

  • How can you trade something that never belonged to you in the first place? How do you trade something you can't see?This was literally invented out of thin air.

  • Yep, and Al Gore was promoting his scam before congress just last week.

    He even lied and said we only have temperature records going back 150 years, when the record is in the ice cores and goes back more than 10,000 years, and it shows that we're NOT in an unusual warming period, and in fact, may be entering a cooling period.

    He then tried to say if we didn't believe his lies and buy his carbon credits, the earth would heat up like Venus and we'd all die, lol.

  • Selecting 150 years out of the earth's history to try to determine a temperature trend is like seeing measuring the trend to higher temperatures in the spring and going "OMG, if this warming trend continues, the earth will be 200 degrees warmer by this time next year!"

  • BOTH McCain and Obama support carbon credit.

    Whenever, the two parties agree on something, the people lose freedoms.

  • yay for people making money on air. This is the greatest scheme since bottled tap water. They really think were stupid dont they? Or are we really that stupid? What will they come up with next? Blood futures market? How about having to buy the right to give birth? America has to bury this and the copenhagen treaty if we dont that freedom we pretend to believe in will evaporate faster then the ethaanol in our tanks.
