Personal carbon credits: the trick | Mick Hume - Times Online

Quote:
Personal carbon credits: the trick
The phoney climate change war is upon us. We're are being drawn into a Blitz spirit.

Get out your gas masks and tin hats. We are under attack from a noxious army of doom-troopers demanding that we treat climate change as a rerun of the Second World War. In the latest move to militarise everyday life, the Environmental Audit Committee of MPs has seriously proposed energy rationing, aka “personal carbon credits”.

Baroness Young of Old Scone, head of the Environment Agency, says this is “World War Three”.

Any way to get into your pocket book and fill theirs up... each dollar they TAKE away from you goes somewhere... somewhere in SOMEONE's pocketbook... when will America get smart about money... every dollar you lose SOMEBODY gains... this carbon credit system is a profiteering machine and government likes to create profit for investors... Where's Al Gore? Oh yeah he is living in his mansion and flying on his personal jet while chugging away with his eight cars and creating more kids who will enjoy his wealth in similar fashion... oh well... at least he is having fun with my money (somebody should, I guess people don't think it should be the person who MAKES that money)...

Carbon credit IMO are just ways i whcih you allow those that have money to pollute more and others to make money.Its like rationing and making exemptions for thiose that can pay money in order to buy more of waht is rationed and put it in to the market.To those in the business it is like getting money for not producing anyhting;while at the same time making those that have more continue to burn more energy. They then want to force others to burn less even if they can afford the gas for a SUV.Pure non-sense.
