Carbon credits anyone

About what I expected about Al and his carbon credits. It is a fraud.

I wonder if he owns or is getting money from any of the companies that "sell" carbon credits and does nothing.

From the first time I heard about carbon credits it sounded like a scam to me. I never could figure out how paying someone to use less while you used more could ever "reduce" anything.
I also can't figure out why people get all glorified because they're "carbon neutral" when the idea is supposed to be to use LESS. To me, "carbon neutral" means you aren't doing diddly squat but feeling good about yourself.

I got my carbon output currently at 90. Wonder if I just leave all the trucks idle more I could get it to go higher.
