#1 I'd like to see bumper stickers that say, This SUV is a carbon offset for Al Gore's jet.

Or...We The Little People should go without so Al Gore can go first class.

#3 Take the idea of carbon offsets made popular by Al Gore. If well-meaning environmentalist activists and celebrities either cannot or will not give up their private jets or huge energy-hungry houses, they can still find a way to excuse their illiberal consumption.

Carbon credits = a feel-good invention for it to be OK to be a hypocrite.

#6 OFFSETS > the future OWG + COMMIE-SOCIALIST WORLD ORDER need reasons to engage in Cold War-style, Commie-style, Global COMPLAN/GOSPLAN-style, BUDGET WRITE-OFFS. i.e. iff we pretend we don't have any debts, we don't. Conversely, iff the State pretends it has $$$, it does. YOU SEE WHAT HAPPENS, MORIARTY, WHAT PENNY/COIN HATRED DOTH BRINGS UNTO THE WELD.
