OK, at the time, I was thinking more of posts rather than posters, but I’ll admit that you’re causing me to rethink that approach.

Oh goody, I get to explain offsets to Roulette Man. I'll use a simple analogy, and I promise to type slowly.

Let's say you have a big dogs that leaves massive loads in the neighborhood, and you're not always there to clean them up. You could:
1. Get rid of the dogs. (Roulette Man's solution for Gore.)
2. Brag that the massive loads are no problem and actually smell nice. (Roulette Man's solution for himself.)
3. Pay a neighborhood kid to clean up after your dogs AND to clean up after other dogs too. (Gore's solution.)

That's how offsets work. There, Roulette Man, now you can say you learned something today.


And there in lies the real difference. I am sure you really, honestly, think this is OK.

This is why the debate is futile. The gap is just to wide.
Could you be a little more vague?
I own a business that sells carbon credits. I buy those credits from myself. That makes it okay for me to do what I want to do while telling other people they shouldn't be doing the same things on a much smaller scale.

That is Al Gore. It's all about money, and Gore gets wealthier every day by playing fools in the name of saving the planet.
