Is anyone else buying carbon credits to offset CO2 from travel?

[Greenturtle]

Not in our lifetime Salmon. That will be future generations problem. Which is why its so easy to not care.

How about an example of junk science exactly on topic.

A study shows 3-4x higher CO₂ emissions from tourism
That is because besides flights, includes transport, shopping & food at the destination
However, it doesn’t subtract less use of transport, shopping & food at home

So clearly vastly overestimated thus another piece of junk science destined for a dust bin.

Sure, tons of misinformation everywhere.

The nitty gritty details can be debated till the end of time. The big picture is plain to see.

You cant remove a good chunk of vegetation from the planet, replace it with asphalt, power plants, cows, factories, rooftops, and trucks; then expect the planet to maintain its temperatures or respond at all to this in any way.
This type of activity, and just the sheer overwhelming quantity of it now, is akin to volcanic activity that had massive atmospheric effects throughout prehistory.

Beach already skinny? Try adding more water and see if that helps.

Anybody enjoy launching directly out of the ruins of destroyed buildings? How about mangrove thickets? Cliffs? All a reality of the future of sea level rise.

Or we can continue to debate the cause of this problem, while kiteboarders access is slowly and surely eaten up worldwide inch by inch.

If you believe in science you shouldn't worry, given this one falls in the 50 percentile of non junk category.

First global assessment of historical shoreline changes shows that 28% of beaches accrete, 24% erode in the past 34 yrs

The article analyzed beach erosion. Since 1984. Ha.
Not sea level rise/polar ice melt.

Are you launching from an Ice Berg?

So Obama State Department was spreading bullshit, what else is new?

Climate change is not a key cause of conflict, finds new study

Fake science?

Last time I checked, you dont have to be a scientist, or listen to any scientists, or even read the news, to know betond any doubt that humans are having a massive detrimental impact on the environment in every category. Every single aspect. Water. Air. Soil. And every living thing that relies on those things. Including us.

Anyone that claims that everthing is fine and that we cannot possibly be having an impact that is causing any negative consequences has apparently not stepped out into the world in quite some time.

There are a lot of people who make a lot of money off of the destruction of nature and the environment. Therefore they have the motivation and the resources to do a damn good job at pulling the wool over as many peoples eyes as they can in order to keep the profits rolling as long as possible.

Im not saying we should all buy some bogus carbon credits. But to flatly deny these problems, clearly just means you either personally profit from it or just dont care.

If you care, educate yourself first and then get your priorities straight.

Let see, I spanked an a-hole in the morning drove 3.5 hrs, kited for 3 hrs and spanked a fake do gooder in the evening. Not bad of a day. Reminds me of another guy who does the spanking almost around the clock. Good night.

[knotwindy]

So far, the only thing you seem to have spanked is your monkey.
