Comments on: Carbon Neutrality — “Kind of Bogus” http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=4832 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 22:36:51 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: tarpon http://cstpr.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=4832&cpage=1#comment-11497 tarpon Fri, 02 Jan 2009 00:16:33 +0000 http://sciencepolicy.colorado.edu/prometheus/?p=4832#comment-11497 Can't we get carbon neutral in the USA by having all our products made in China? Isn't that what cap and trade is all about? Me, I think I am going to try and get some startup money for 'litter offsets'. That way people can throw anything they want along side the road and feel good about it, because they have bought offsets for that litter. Isn't that what carbon offsets are? Oh, you mean the government will limit them and there will be a strictly controlled amount of 'offsets' available? Oh I see, isn't that what rationing energy is all about? And what black markets are for? I think I've got it now. Can’t we get carbon neutral in the USA by having all our products made in China? Isn’t that what cap and trade is all about?
