Carbon credits and liberal hypocrisy

Carbon credits are all the rage amongst the environmentally conscious, but this column in Time.com points out that while carbon credits might be well meaning, they're essentially a way for liberals to assuage their guilt while still just firing as many pollutants as everyone else into the atmosphere. Sounds like the indulgences one could pay the church in medieval times in order to absolve oneself of sin. Still, buying carbon credits is better than nothing, I suppose. Meh. Meh, I say!

Hey, without carbon credits I wouldn't be able to truly enjoy my "set old car tires on fire" hobby without feeling a little guilty...

Carbon credits are wrong. People who live in big, energy consuming houses and drive SUVs need to change their lifestyle. Sure it's hard, but it's a lot harder for people living in other parts of the world who depend on regular weather patterns to feed their families.

Spend the money on a Hybrid and energy upgrades for your homes you liberal wankers!
