Guilt-Free Kiosks at San Francisco Airport

Environmentally conscious travelers flying out of San Francisco International Airport will soon be able to assuage their guilt and minimize the impact of their air travel by buying certified carbon offsets at airport kiosks. The experimental program, scheduled to start this spring, would make SFO the first airport in the nation - possibly the world - to offer fliers the opportunity to purchase carbon offsets.

CO2: European Hypocrisy

I burst out laughing when I read this story about how carbon dioxide emissions from Europe's heavy industry sectors rose by 1.1% in 2007. And keep in mind this after carbon trading programs have been implemented and some of this industry has been offshored to China.

Personally, I have yet to hear any tangible proof that CO2 emissions are the primary cause of global warming but for those people who do believe it, they're sure not walking their talk!

Al Gore: Eco-Messiah or Eco-Hypocrite?

In his typical brilliant fashion, Mark Steyn illuminates the truth behind Mr. Eco-Friendly himself, Al Gore in this article. While reading it, think back to Leonardo's di Caprio's proclamation that "this year's Oscars have gone Green". Everyone in the audience did . . . exactly nothing and yet they've apparently gone green. Talk about trying to pull the [environmentally friendly organic] wool over our eyes!

If you're Canadian and reading this, remember Steyn's article when Stephane Dion is giving us his next lecture about what we need to do to be more green. I'd love to see his energy consumption bill!
