  1. Since human beings cause global warming, why not people-offset credits — credits for children you didn’t have, family members who died prematurely, etc.?
    Abortions and suicides — the new gold standard of human conduct.

  2. But…what about single guys? Shouldn’t they get a break, say only $100. And what about the single gals? $50??Mind you, the polygamists might not like the scheme.

  3. Yeah, I want my “breeding credits”, and I want my breeding credits NOW. How much money am I going to get from one of these 12-children families on welfare (and who do I get my cheque from)?

  4. These guys really don’t see the real humorous irony: they get the fraud of profiteering on guilt that off-setting cons work but they miss the overall political/corporate profiteering on guilt that human cause GW runs…so they are eyes-wide open suckers.

  5. Is Bill Clinton a charter member. Anyone watching this and still believes in carbon trading or offsets is beyond help.

  6. I was going to say that GE could potentially be in a conflict of interest since it has GE Wind Energy projects and could buy credits from itself. However, I see that there is no “potential” about it.
    “GE AES Greenhouse Gas Services, a joint venture between GE and power company AES Corp., said on Wednesday it has strengthened standards for the creation and sale of U.S. greenhouse gas credits.

    The first customer for the joint venture’s credits will the be the Earth Rewards credit card, a company spokesman said.”

  7. This is the way to start a weekend with a smile. Thank you Kate for linking to this. I don’t personally have any “breeding credits” up for offer, but I’ve buckets of fidelity ready to go!

  10. Here’s one for the confusium file:
    Did you know that, when dieting, some of the excess weight is bled off through C02 emissions from your body?

  11. Addendum to the above, due to my earlier imprecision:
    Fat acts as a CO2 sink, because it releases CO2 as a byproduct of the glucose it’s catabolized into once metabolized. That glucose turns into C02 and H20 through being used for energy. So, dieting releases an amount of CO2, which has been “sunk” into the fat, that would otherwise not be there had the person not been dieting.
    Now that I’ve gone from wisecrack to explication, I realize that I’ve just given the fat circuit a plausible excuse for government-paid liposuction. “Provided it’s disposed in a carbon-neutral way, of course!”
