POPSVirgin Group Chairman Sir Richard Branson Willing To Pay Carbon Offsets Former United Nation's chief Kofi Annan. "We must have climate justice." Abdul Gayoom is president of The Maldives, a band of 1,200 islands in the Indian Ocean. He said his nation faces elimination if sea levels rise, as a result of global warming... and suggested proceeds from aviation-related carbon offsets go towards benefitting small nations.

POPSJohn McCain global warming tour? I just love how McCain embraces the left with such enthusiasm, no matter how absurd their ideas are. I just wish he'd "reach across the aisle" to the Conservatives every once in a while!

POPSGore Shamelessly Exploits Burma's Disaster 
PROBLEM #4 HE PROFITS PERSONALLY FROM CARBON TRADING SCHEMES The Green Growth Fund will provide its portfolio companies with both global perspective and global reach, which includes the benefit of KPCB’s Asian presence through its KPCB China Fund. The KPCB Green Growth Fund will also enable the firm to extend its existing collaboration with the London-based Generation Investment Management, whose chairman Al Gore, former Vice President of the United States and Nobel Laureate, joined KPCB as Partner last year. Through their alliance, the firms actively work together to find, fund and accelerate green solutions with the greatest potential to help solve the climate crisis. Generation co-founder and Managing Partner David Blood said, “There is a significant gap between the capital needed and the capital currently deployed to create enduring solutions to the climate crisis. http://tomnelson.blogspot.com/2008/05/al-gore-continues-his-brazen-efforts-to.html

POPSGoing Out Of Business Sale Just Call 1-800-CARBON <<<<<<<<<<Call1-800-CARBON>>>>>>>>>> And look at the glaciers behind me. Never, in the history of the world, have glaciers melted before. Never! Not even after the last ice age! And, within the next five years, the entire world will be a barren desert reminiscent of Hillary Clinton's Rose Law files. Uhm, except for the parts that are completely underwater. Which will also be... a lot.

POPS Hedge Fund Traders Chasing Carbon Off-Sets The Kyoto Protocol allows 36 rich countries to meet limits from 2008-12 on their production of greenhouse gases by buying emissions rights from developing nations. About 190 countries attending the Dec. 3-14 meeting in Bali are edging towards launching negotiations on a successor deal to Kyoto, which is deemed too weak to win the battle against climate change. Delegates were expected to draft on Saturday the first details of a negotiating agenda.

POPSMan caused "global warming" debunked Al Gore, the Jim Jones of this new religious cult, preaches doom and gloom from his pettifogger pulpit, all the while living the lifestyle of an energy hog. He actually uses twice the amount of electricity in one month at his Nashville home than the average household uses in an entire year. He has two homes in Tennessee, one in Virginia, at least. He flies all over the world on his Magical Hysteria Tour, sucking down resources and belching out tons of carbon, all to tell us we need to conserve. We're trying to make ends meet just to afford gas in our cars while Al Gore has a carbon footprint the size of Sasquatch. And no one seems to care.

POPS Al Gore’s Carbon Crusade,The Money and Connections The Tennessee Center for Policy Research, a state think tank, revealed that he was an energy hog. Public records show that Gore’s Nashville mansion used in one month more than twice the electricity the typical American household uses in a year: His average monthly electric bill was more than $1,359. Moreover, Gore’s household energy use increased after An Inconvenient Truth, his film about global warming, was released to ecstatic reviews. Never mind that the scientific community is divided over what causes global warming, how bad it is and how to deal with it. Gore plays Chicken Little to the media’s applause, insisting that the world is warming dangerously and that he has the solution.

POPSParties Plan Green Conventions Here's an idea: If you guys are serious, why don't you scrap the conventions? "Nominating" conventions ceased some time ago and the current rush for states to have February primaries only highlights the extent to which these gatherings have been reduced to symbolic showpieces. Are they really needed?

POPSCalifornia and Victoria agree to combat climate change together It has been a long time since I have taken back my unflattering comments about Arnold Schwarzenegger upon becoming the governor of California. Everything he does about global warming confirms my decision. Because he is a Hollywood star - a major one - with a direct line to the electorate, perhaps he does have the cachet needed to short-circuit traditional politics and it's embedded vested interests - like the fossil-fuel industry. He certainly is running counter to the Bush line on global warming and, as we can see by his latest move, he is recruiting like-minded leaders around the world in his campaign to tackle climate change square-on.

POPSCarbon Offsets - Fraud and Deceit This whole "carbon offset" industry setup for fraud. The main aim is to have rich people pay money to feel good about themselves. The fact that nothing or extremely little actually is done to reduce carbon in the atmosphere doesn't matter.

POPSUgly? Stupid? A Jerk? Relax, Your Worries Are Over. (con't.) Ugly Offsets: Say, for the sake of argument, that you're a grotesque clod with the sexual appeal of a dump truck's undercarriage. I'm not saying you are, but I'm not saying you're not, either. Sure, you could get a better haircut or undergo painful, unconvincing plastic surgery, but why not just buy ugly offsets? Send us some cash and we'll spend it on beauty college scholarships and research into moisturizing creams -- after taking our cut, of course -- thereby making you, economically speaking, so damn sexy. Just explain to the hotties at the bar that you've completely offset your ugliness and they'll throw you into the sack with such speed and vigor that you won't get your breath back until you've had three orgasms.

POPSCafbon Offsets Demystified When you can’t choose a zero-emissions way of getting where you’re going, you can purchase carbon offsets equivalent to the impact of your car driving, bus or train travel, or plane ride. You can also offset any other greenhouse gas emissions that result from your lifestyle, such as those from driving a car or using coal-generated electricity in your home or workplace.

POPS"Do as I say, not as I do." First, Al Gore doesn’t purchase carbon offsets out of his own pocket and the actual economic cost, if any, to him is unknown. The actual offset purchaser is a London-based investment firm, Generation Investment Management (GIM), that Al Gore co-founded with former Goldman Sachs executive David Blood and others in 2004. GIM supposedly purchases carbon offsets for all 23 of its employees to cover their personal energy use, according to a March 7 CNSNews.com report. These offsets, then, would be provided to Gore more as an employee benefit, thus requiring very little sacrifice on his or his family's part.
