carbon offsetting....

[Philip Scott]

I suspect Ian may have something to say about this... very thought provoking and cleverly put.

I can't work out what the fuk they are on about - is that even a "legitimate" website or some kind of conceit ?

 :huh:

As I read it, they're taking the piss out of carbon trading. And whilst Im all for saving the planet, a very good pisstake it is as well. I offset my carbon emissions against some penniless kid in Africa who can't even afford a jerrycan, let alone burn up gallons of fuel driving to see mines, and hey presto, I'm carbon neutral and therefore a goody. And all the cute monkeys in the rainforests and newts in ponds live happily ever after  :whistle:

Ok cool, so it is a p!ss take then - I couldn't work out if they were serious. Had they been serious I would have had a comment or two - much like many others I would guess lol
