Um, it may be disturbing for you to admit, but Big Oil and Wall
Street are heavily into the carbon credit trading market.



I have posted this before but I think it fits right now:

Al Gore has stated that he bought carbon credits to offset the energy
consumption of his house.

Yep, yet another of his convenient lies. If there was already a system in
place to trade carbon credits then we wouldn't need new laws to implement
carbon credits. Sounds to me like scammer lobbying to legitimize his scam.

Near as I know, there is no requirement
(yet) to buy these carbon credits, no issuing agency and, near as I
know, no regulation as to what they are or where the money goes. It
would appear that, under the circumstances, anybody with a printer
and a little design skill could print up a few million of these
things and get rich selling them to those that feel that throwing
their money away somehow offsets their sins against the environment
with the only real result being adding to the wealth of the issuing
company. Kind of like a televangelist. "Send me your money and God
will love you for it". The only "love" in the business is the
televangelist "loving" the fact that people are so gullible as to
send him their money.

I oughta try that--I wonder if anyone has tried selling carbon credits on
ebay?
