Just over a year ago, I “purchased” one-trillion carbon offsets from this site and received “proof” of the transaction in the form of the Certificate of Carbon Offsets (right). Now, thanks to the “ClimateGate” scandal, we appear to have e-mail proof that scientists at the center of climate change research have manipulated data and otherwise [...]

Blogger ‘Purchases’ One-Trillion Carbon Offsets
November 18th, 2008 · 1 Comment
No one can say I’m not doing my part to fight GLOBULL WARMING. It took me only about 10 seconds to “purchase” my free Certificate of Carbon Offsets (right) from this site. Now, according to my certificate, I’m the proud owner of one-trillion carbon offsets. Best of all, I didn’t have to contact Al Gore [...]

My First ‘Carbon Credits’ Offer Arrived in the Mail
November 6th, 2008 · 8 Comments
I knew it would happen eventually and, yesterday, it did: I found my first offer to purchase so-called “carbon credits” had arrived in the mail. A review of the offer, which arrived in the form of a postcard-size insert inside the envelope carrying my monthly electric bill, left me scratching my head and wondering. Delivered [...]

Flight Attendant Hillary Wouldn’t Save a Soul
January 17th, 2008 · No Comments
Married to a flight attendant, I’m familiar with the unofficial motto of those in her profession: “I’m not here to kiss your ass, I’m here to save it!” When I discovered Hillary Clinton had made news for her impersonation of a flight attendant, I began to think about the former first lady and how she [...]

Airline Joins Blogger in Calling Offsets ‘Snake Oil’
April 30th, 2007 · No Comments
A headline in today’s business section of the UK’s Guardian confirms what I wrote in Bob McCarty Writes posts here and here: EasyJet slams ‘snake oil sellers’ in offset market and goes it alone Though I received civil criticism from one high-level industry insider (see comments below this post), I stood firm in leading my [...]

Carbon Credit Projects Yield Few, If Any, Benefits
April 26th, 2007 · No Comments
One month ago at Bob McCarty Writes, I wrote a post, Blogger Investigates Carbon Offsets Industry, that generated a response from one carbon offsets pusher who was very polite but unappreciative of being compared to a snake oil salesman. Today, I offer another angle on the topic, this time from Financial Times.com, a media outlet [...]

Great Article: Al Gore’s ‘Inconvenient Oops’
April 14th, 2007 · No Comments
Yesterday, I came across this great piece, Al Gore’s “Inconvenient Oops”, by David Burchett. I was probably enticed by the lead paragraph: Immediate disclaimer to Internet hall monitors: This article is not meant to throw Al Gore under the bus. That would be an inappropriate use of carbon resources to fire up a nasty fume [...]
