At the heart of these double standards is the idea that the haves can pay to 'offset' their carbon consumption, while the have-nots can't. However, the carbon offset industry is a smokescreen that receives payment for actions that nature would also complete if it weren't paid for. Moreover, the carbon offsetting industry endangers our food supply chain. it thereby amounts to a two-pronged taxation of the poor by the wealthy: food becomes more expensive due to reduced supply, as well as due to bogus 'carbon offsets' paid by the producers. We must work with lawmakers to end carbon offsetting.
"the carbon offset industry is a smokescreen that receives payment for actions that nature would also complete if it weren't paid for"
Worse, the "renewables industry" receives payment to pollute with toxins on steroids in the name of sparing carbon. It is insanely stupid, even vulgar.
I guess I was citing a moderate example... totally correct that carbon offsets also flow in the direction of giant wind blades who scatter into millions of shards that end up on the Nantucket shore.
:) And for carbon "sequestration" machines that suck the stuff from the air. No chemical pollution or energy usage in their manufacture, maintenance, and operation, right?
Don't forget the jet fuel that spills out over us everyday, which has coal ash in it that can cause cancer and also damages the ozone layer! I don't hear the EPA or the Go Green people talk about that!
I live on the farm where the milk cans were stored in a gravity-fed, cold water bath from a spring. Both the spring box and little milkhouse remain.....
Not for me, but for thee.

None whatsoever. The only polluting machines are the ones nature designed to produce meat and cheese.
lol.....
