Moron Alert - Carbon Offsets

This just may be the dumbest way ever invented to rationalize how you are living.

Have a huge home that eats lots of energy? Whoa! Just buy some carbon offsets to give yourself a zero carbon footprint to ease your conscience.

Got lots of cars or toys or whatever that suck oil tankers dry with their use? Just buy more carbon offsets to give you that feel-good satisfied peaceful feeling.

Feeling like you want to impress the other mega rich or friendly neighborhood green actor or actress? Jut buy another load of carbon offsets. Green is in baby! Let the good times roll and just add the carbon offsets as another cost of doing business of giving everyone the business.

You may win a prize for helping the world realize we're going into global warming as soon as we thaw out of the glaciers of this past winter, but get a huge house, impress your friends with the carbon offsets you can buy and you're in baby.

Ah, what a good feeling. Instead of just doing good for good sake and not worrying about keeping track of your carbon footprint, you have to keep track now to make sure you aren't causing more negatives than positive through your lifestyle.

Let's all just sit and grin at each other because we are all so proud of our zero footprint.

What a bunch of morons.
