TORONTO (AP) - Al Gore condemned Canada's new plan to reduce greenhouse gases, saying it was "a complete and total fraud" because it lacks specifics and gives industry a way to actually increase emissions.
Fraud kinda like selling carbon offsets to yourself, isn't that right Mr. Gore?
And in a related matter, from The Guardian:
EasyJet has warned that the carbon offsetting market is riddled with "snake oil salesmen" determined to make excessive profits from green-minded air passengers.
Somehow I already knew that.
