Maybe we should be signing an agreement with Huskey Oil on carbon emissions. And give them a couple hundred million to clean up their act.
Cheers

So someone tell why we care about carbon emissions? Why are we wasting all that money? So we just pay all that money and no questions asked. Amazing.

Carbon emission reduction has to start in Alberta, which is responsible for most of them in all of Canada. We can make an effort too, but our contribution is rather insignificant when measured against what is being emitted in Alberta.

So, I care, but not as much as I used to.

carbon offsets = scam.

And I dare all you ninnies to put your words into action and cease all hydrocarbon use immediately. Your house will be awful cold in this weather. You burn wood? Not so fast, the shop your woodstove was made in was heated with *gasp* - hydrocarbons! So you'll have to throw it out as it is tainted and evil. Watch out for frostbite as you walk to work and by the way, inform your boss you'd like your workspace relocated to the snowbank outside since your workplace is a den of petroleum sin. Try to stay warm and remember - no synthetic fibres. In fact, the only clothing you can wear is what you make yourself since all our clothing is trucked in. So have fun in your snowbank wearing your pine needles and eating frozen muskrat. Be sure to sneer indignantly at us carbon sinners, if your facial muscles aren't frozen.

yeah to all of the comments, true enough. But if it reduces operating costs, keeping companies going and jobs, and it might help the environment, what's not to like? at least they're trying to be proactive

"So someone tell why we care about carbon emissions"

Not that you will see my point, since you seem to write the same thing everytime the subject comes up.

So I will write the same thing too.

I don't give a chit about carbon emissions. I care about making as smooth as possible a transition from fossil fuel dependency to more renewable energy sources. Whether that transition will be from now over 50 years or 100 years, I do not care. I do know that the sooner we start, the smoother the transition will be.

To me, that is what it is all about. So, as long as the money is used to invest in alternate energy development programs, it works for me.

Hey all you SHEEP,get in line.Carbon reduction is part of the largest money grab scam that the world will ever see. Do your homework.... Google--"Carbon credit scam", "global cooling", "Maurice Strong,carbon trading". Only a few. Check it out.

And if you have any mercury filled CFLs in yer house, maybe you oughta Google Minamata Disease. Watch the video too. Don't let yer kitty cat play with broken CFLs. Nuff said.
