Someone please explain to me carbon credits..........?

Question

How can we use an existing tree for carbon credits? Aren't those trees "credits" already spoken for? Shouldn't a new tree be required to produce a credit? Doesn't it stand to reason that we are already using the "credits" produced by an existing tree? Liberals and enviromentalists please chime in.

Answer 1

If everyone was allowed to have a carbon footprint as BIG as Al Gore's, we would all have carbon credits to sell to cover our new increased costs for energy.

It is a scam to make Al Gore and his friends rich. Al Made over $100 million last year while he increased his energy usage. He got most of it from speeches regarding "global warming" he was paid to give.

Wish I were that good at making millions for bulls-hit.

Carbon Credits = EXTORTION.

Answer 2

liberal bull c**p.

Answer 3

let's see...people who use cars and roads will give all their money to people who don't use cars and road, who in turn, armed with all that cold, hard cash, will buy cars and build roads because nobody likes to hoof it when they don't need to...so instead of just us polluting the planet, EVERYONE will be polluting the planet...great idea...let's call it "plan b"...

Answer 4

Answer 6

The simplest definition:

carbon credit(Kar-bun Kred-it) the way to extract free money for nothing by a liberal marxist on a free market individual,corporation,or country.

Answer 7

That is the greatest invention Gore ever had!  Guess who makes a profit from investing in his own carbon credit scheme...yep, Gore again.  He can use more electricity, fly in private jets, etc.  But because he pays into a company he holds stock in and claims it offsets his carbon print, everyone thinks its all good.  The whole idea is ludicrous.

Answer 8

I find this "green" scam insulting to my intelligence.

Answer 9

LOL. It is a scam man. Do some research!!! All the planets are warming, and its not because of carbon.
