It's a The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will soon become the country's first toll agency to offer car and plane travelers a way to Later this year, travelers in and around the country's largest city will be able to offset gases emitted by their car and plane trips by voluntarily paying fees through a Web site operated on behalf of the Port Authority, the agency said on Monday. The Port Authority operates the airports, sea ports, toll bridges and tunnels in the New York/New Jersey area. Travel offsets allow More blather at the link.... |

| #8 Presuming, of course, that the desired/future OWG-NWO can TERRESTRIALLY survive its BIRTH PANGS 2015-2020 + related VARIOUS EXTRATERRESTRIAL PANGS [SUN = Global Warming, Space Rocks, etc.]. GREATEST/ULTIMATE THREAT TO OWG-NWO > HUMAN BEINGS THEMSELVES, as always. * THE PRE-DETERMINED INTEGRATED COINCIDENCE, CONJUNCTION, CASUALITY, + COORDINATED PARALLELISM OF SECULAR SCIENTIFIC RANDOMNESS + UN/NON-PLANNED ANTI-INTEGRATION METAPHYSICAL QUANTUMNESS.

So-called CARBON CREDITS are likely NOT going tyo disappear anytime soon as WOT > WAR FOR OWG includ MACKINDER'S WORLD ISLAND > WAR BWTN NEW WORLD VERSUS OLD WORLD = AMERICA(S) VERSUS EURASIA > TRANSLOCAL TRANSREGIONAL TRANSCONTINENTAL, ETC. WAR FOR DOMINANCE/CONTROL OF OWG-NWO ECONOMY, again among other premises or thingys. I also like to belabel as WAR FOR-AGAINST ROMUS [ROME, USA] = WAR FOR CORSICANT/CORSICUS [Napoleon's CORSICA-PARIS, USA], LONDON, USA, TOKUGAWA GLOBAL SHOGUNATE, STARFLEET FEDERATION, etc..................@???

| #5 A "metric tonne" sure sounds like a lot of carbon. Unless, of course, you consider that is 10**3 kilograms (1000 kilograms). The total mass of the atmosphere is estimated at 5*10**18 kilograms. (That is 5 followed by 18 zeros). So one metric tonne is less than 10**-15 of that. (That is 1 divided by 1 followed by 15 zeros.) So these morons are supposed to pay $4-$20 for emitting 0.00000000000001% or so of the total mass of the atmosphere. (And CO2 is 0.038% of the atmosphere already. Water vapor is approximately 1% - or about 30 times as much as CO2. And dihydrogen monoxide vapor is a potent greenhouse gas.) |
