Enjoying the Carbon Scam?

[DEATH_INC.]

I'd probably suggest that we ignore your views as you have a vested interest in the pollution industries ..

I'd suggest you don't know Mr Quasi at all.
He has a job there, not a vested interest, and he'd be the first to say the opposite if he believed it.

And who do you work for? Or which companies do you have shares in?

[DEATH_INC.]

It IS simply a scam, you greenies can believe whatever you want, but 'till you all get rid of all your own carbon (and all the other shite you lot spout on about) producing possessions and lead by example then you can all go f*ck yourselves.

None of the above, tho I am in the automotive industry. What are you doing on a website that has mostly unessential carbon producing vehicles if you so believe in what you say?

Hang about - what have I said ??? I simply question Quasi's objectiveness as he works for an oil company ... much as he questioned Clarke and Fitzsimmons' stands because they owned shares in a Green company ..

Correct, but as I've said already Quasi is a VERY straight up bloke. He doesn't benefit at all from this stuff, he just has a job there.

That would seem to be a benefit ...

And it's still a f*cking scam, it's ok to pollute if you're rich enough

It is? .... That's amazing ..

Can you explain how that compromises my ability to be a free thinker ?
precisely ?

.....I dunno, some non rich fuck was here on Saturday and managed to pollute the downstairs shitter, so much so we need a plumber to......releave us of the offending pollutant...

[Quasievil]

That is completely wrong. This misinformation has been circulating on the net for a while so I understand why people might latch on to it. The fact is, Iceland's Eyjafjoell emitted 0.3% of annual greenhouse gases.

Thats one Volcano only, and there are other natural forces at play here which contribute for your info New Zealand emits just 0.11% of global emissions. I'm going to write it BIG so people can see it:

0.11%

Even if that were reduced to zero, the planet wouldn't give a shit.

Meantime we are all paying $150 a year for it and thats about to go up in 2013 to double !

is it doing much ?

It does not compromise your ability as a free thinker. It suggests that your opinion, as expressed, might not be as clear cut because you have a vested interest in the company you work for and in maintaining your job.

It suggests that any position you take in this argument might be influenced by the need to maintain your job ...

Now, this is only a suggestion - but it does add to the facts which need to be taken into account when considering your opinion ... and its worth.

Could somebody please explain how emissions trading is a scam? A fraudulent scheme designed to steal money.

What are the names of the scammers? How did they do it?

[ducatilover]

So what is it achieving? Why the need to charge money and who has the rights to sell "carbon credits" Can I have some for my trees?

Someone is profiting from this, to think otherwise would be silly.
