		<description>I would love to plant a big carbon footprint on Gore&#039;s ass for this scam that he is perpetrating for his own wealth enhancement.

&quot;Well meaning&quot; Government plan = Ponzi scheme = redistribution of wealth = socialism/communism

Subtract out the loopholes that will be made for Congress and bought by &quot;preferred industries,&quot; the exorbitant &quot;administration fees&quot; and outright vote buying via earmarks etc., and you have just another ineffective goverment boondoggle that will degrade the quality of life in the USA and help no one but the politicians in the process.

Call me cynical, but when you see the same stupid moves, over and over again, it just gets predictable.</description>

		<description>Be it the carbon offset scam, food for oil or peacekeeping I can not think of one thing that the UN has done honestly or well. The UN may or may not have been established for a good reason but by the Friday of their first week the UN was an ugly scam. But Carbon Offsets will give them an income stream of their own which is what that group of pirates has always wanted. Then there will be even less restraint on their schemes.</description>

		<description>Given the UN&#039;s anti-Semitism, I don&#039;t just want to get the UN out of the US. I want to then convert the UN General Assembly Building into the world&#039;s largest synagogue, and then use the Secretariat building as the headquarters for the Agency to Fight Carbon Emissions By Replacing Every Fossil Fuel Powerplant in the US With a Nuclear Plant. I&#039;d use the other buildings for an Israeli consulate and headquarters buildings for JihadWatch and MEMRI. The money that used to go to the UN would be either redirected to the US military or go to a new League of Actual Democracies.</description>

		<description>Hmmm.  Perhaps this scam ought to be called the

 CarBORG offset program

since it seems no matter what, everyone&#039;s going to be assimilated into it.

		<description>Boy, will there be a scramble for &quot;spin doctors&quot; when the global warming farce finally dies away. In keeping with the usual cycles over the past decades, we should be just about entering a crisis now with global cooling.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;Dear UN,
Just yesterday I decided not to build a coal-fired power plant in my backyard. Please send $2 billion to AlohaGuy…&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Dear UN,
As you are well aware, I am the person who personally planted every tree that is less than 45 years old in Yellowstone National Park, (please see attached photos).  The carbon uptake as a result of my effort is estimated to be worth $125 million over the expected life cycle for those trees.  I do not wish to quibble over an exact amount so please send me a check for $100 million to me and whatever balance as a bonus to IPCC scientists to encourage their continued effort to study the global warming problem.

&lt;strike&gt;Warmest&lt;/strike&gt; Regards,

DWD</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;This sounds very much like absolution– pay to have your soul cleansed. And here I thought liberals had no use for religious dogma.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Point taken, but with a slight nitpick... I believe you meant &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indulgence&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;indulgences&lt;/a&gt; when you said &quot;absolution.&quot;  The wiki article I linked goes into more detail, but the thumbnail version is this: Indulgences do not forgive sin, but are the removal of temporal punishment for sins already absolved through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.  So even when people were paying for indulgences, they weren&#039;t paying to absolved (unless they misunderstood doctrine -- certainly possible); they were paying to lessen or remove any time spent in purgatory for sins already confessed and absolved.</description>
