Rogers Joins Carbon Offset Aggregation Cooperative

Wednesday, April 25, 2012 @ 2:27 PM
Prince George,  – The Carbon Offset Aggregation Cooperative of British Columbia (COAC) is pleased to announce that former Prince George Mayor Dan Rogers has joined the organization as Director of Sales and Marketing.
“We are excited to have Dan join our management team as he brings a wealth of experience in marketing along with his passion for efforts aimed at improving the environment,” says George Stedeford, COAC Chief Executive Officer. “Dan’s always been interested in promoting initiatives that address climate change and his understanding of the opportunity to help reduce emissions through the work we do, makes him a great fit for our growing organization.”
 
“I’m happy to be joining such an innovative organization that is breaking new ground in helping the transportation and resources sectors reduce their carbon footprint,” says Rogers. “COAC is well positioned with its unique products and services to help transportation and equipment operators reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing efficiencies and productivity.”
 
A long-time resident of Prince George, Dan has spent most of his life involved in marketing and communications.  He began his career as a broadcast journalist in the early eighties but then shifted to marketing and communications consulting in the late nineties.  Dan also has a great deal of local government experience, serving fifteen years on Prince George City Council including three years as Mayor.
 
 Among his many accomplishments, he led the team that recently won the rights to the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

The purpose of COAC is to provide a fuel efficiency and carbon reduction initiative for owners of heavy diesel burning equipment and trucks to reduce operating costs. COAC has developed a, first-of-its-kind in the world, methodology for converting diesel saving into verified carbon offsets, which can then be transferred, traded or sold

Carbon offset trading is the new panacea of corruption to rival derivatives trading. I do not want public money spent on this asinine nonsense.

Lets see no proof co2 affects climate except corrupted science. Every prediction on so called climate change made by so called computer programs has not happened. Hundreds of billions spent by various governments in research and no proof or results. How come so called climate scientists and self proclaimed experts fight not to release their data or will not debate.

Big money money making politcal scam.

I believe dano has found another office where he could prove himself useless.

Surefire;

cheap shot and shouldn`t expect any less from some parts of our population…the druids….

“After years of effort Svensmark shows how the variable frequency of stellar explosions not far from our planet has ruled over the changing fortunes of living things throughout the past half billion years.”

Hey, Seamutt, you wrote: “Lets see no proof co2 affects climate except corrupted science” and then you point us to the above quotation …….

LOL …… ;-)

Careful there Runner46 …. I do not like it when someone pokes fun at my religion.

When our primitive government of bygone days were still allowing organizations to ask what religion we were, I always answered Druidism.

Is the AAP part of Dan’s new sale’s kit?

Lets see, 3% of greenhouse gases are comprised of CO2, and of that humans are responsible for .03% of all CO2 produced on earth. How can anyone seriously think that the carbon offsetting/trading is anything BUT a scam. Water vapor is the biggest single element that comprises the greenhouse gases, something we can’t live without. This is a very fitting fit for Dano, in my opinion.

Hey Gus I was referring to the Co2 corrupted science which has been shown to be corrupted if you would bother to have a look see. But I guess you are happy with the hundreds of billions spent on a corrupted science. Did you even have a go at the information I posted before commenting? Hey broaden your horizons, you just might be surprised, I sure was. Hey Gus start here, http://wattsupwiththat.com/

Hey seamutt, I was referring to your link which was the following, if you would bother to have a look see.

Interesting that you believe in something like that.

As I keep on telling everyone who cares to listen I really do not care whether one believes in antropogenic causes for global warming, the fact is that fossil fuels are finite, so anything we do to reduce their use will lengthen the time it takes to use them up.

One would have to be pretty damn stupid to not understand that simple little relationship.

“Is the AAP part of Dan’s new sale’s kit?”

And this is supposed to mean what, Resident? Makes totally no sense.

The AAP is a municipal tool. Did you not realize that it is part of the new Mayor’s tool now, the one she said she has supported while a Councillor and the one she said she would use in certain circumstances as Mayor.

So why exactly do you hook the AAP onto an individual that is no longer there and not on those Councillors and Mayor, other than Skakun, who have shown they think it is the greatest gift to a community not interested in democratic principles?

If you want to show your disdain of the AAP, at least hit those individuals who are able to do something about it for the next 2 1/2 years.

Gus you should care about antropogenic global warming issues as it is costing the worlds economy 100’s of billions for what. None of the warmist climate model predictions have come true compared to real world observations. Here is an example,

Then get this blast from the past

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/earthnews/3318239/Arctic-ice-could-be-gone-in-five-years.html

When comparing recent climate to historic climate records, nothing new to report.

Here is an interesting read on fossil fuels

http://bigdustup.blogspot.ca/2012/03/us-has-largest-fossil-fuel-reserves-in.html

Maybe Prince George can sign up for a “carbon capture storage sight”. Bury the CO2 right under all our roads. But then again that gas might leak out through all the potholes. Never mind.

“verified carbon offsets”. Take a night school course to learn how to verify? An app on yer iPhone for verifying? How are they measured? Keep it simple. “Which then can be transferred, traded or sold”. Selling carbon monoxide, dioxide or even trioxide to make a buck? Now why didn’t I think of that?

So Dan just how will this carbon offset work besides making you money? What will be the result? You gonna make millions like Gore, Hansen, Mann, Suzuki etc.

Here is another interesting read seamutt ….

Seamutt, you seem to believe in leading a risky life. It is one thing to do that for yourself. It is another to propose that for entire societies that have taken thousands of years to establish.
