Carbon Offsets Sites: Scam, or Real?
Today, with a little mouse click, a credit card and $99, online
visitors can pay a Silver Spring nonprofit group, Carbonfund.org,
to "offset" a year's worth of greenhouse-gas emissions. Whatever
the customer put into the atmosphere -- by flying, driving, using
electricity - the site promises to cancel out, by funding projects
that reduce pollutants...
Sounds annoyingly familiar?!
This page will attempt to list and review all the infamous 'carbon offset sites' we know of.
As always, you can post yours, comment, etc.
Here's our pioneer:
1. CarbonFund.org
Ms. Hileman is PRO-greenhouse gas reduction, and even she has trouble with these "carbon offsets" that are being sold by Carbonfund.org and, by implication, Environmental Defense (http://www.fightglobalwarming.com/), which links the Carbon Fund. Our position is that these "carbon offsets" are a racket that, although legal and even tax-deductible, are about as reputable as selling people indulgences for their sins.
Things get more
interesting when one notes the connection of Carbonfund.org to
http://www.Groundspring.org,
which is in turn associated with the Tides Foundation: part of
George Soros' network of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), also
known as the Soros-Occupied Government (SOG).
http://www.fightglobalwarming.com is running radio ads even on the Laura Ingraham Show, and we have to wonder whose money is behind them. The site is sponsored by the Ad Council and the Robertson Foundation as well as Environmental Defense. Cui bono? (Who benefits?)

"Organizations like Environmental Defense have teamed up with corn growers and other special interests to save the world. ... The next time you get the warm-n-fuzzies as you drive out of your way to a station that allows you to fill your car with E85-ready gas, think about the fact that you’re helping strip the world of its trees, that you’re contributing to the plight of the poor in Mexico, that you’re supporting anticompetitive agriculture subsidies that are hurting the world’s poor generally, and that this ethanol fixation has a miniscule effect on climate abatement."
Yes, it looks like this "Environmental Defense" outfit is in bed with corn alcohol producers. Rising corn (that's "maize" to Britons) prices are already driving up food prices for poor people. We must expose this "greenhouse gas" scam for exactly what it is, a special interest SCAM that benefits all kinds of special interests while harming consumers and working people.
