One thing that has been pretty clear for a while is that so-called<\/em> “carbon offset credits” are mostly<\/a> a scam run on the gullible<\/a>. Even the NY Times has admitted it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also keep in mind that these so-called<\/em> “carbon offset credits” are at the heart of the “Cap and Tax” scheme our Dear Leader<\/em> and the congressional democrats<\/a> are trying to shove down the throats of the American People.<\/p>\n

Here is another block of evidence to support the “it’s a scam”<\/a> school of rational thought.<\/p>\n

The UK Telegraph reports<\/a> the following:<\/p>\n

Officers from HM Revenue & Customs searched both residential properties and offices in both Gravesend and London targeting an alleged network of organised crime.<\/p>\n

Members are believed to have been trading large volumes of high-value carbon credits from overseas sources free of VAT.<\/p>\n

Tax investigators believe these may then have been sold on to businesses in the UK charging VAT that is never paid to the authorities.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So far, the cash total in this “green” criminal enterprise $62.8 Million.<\/p>\n

The nice man at Watts Up With That<\/em> has noted<\/a> that someone has already done a Masters Thesis on just how ripe the so-called<\/em> “carbon offset credits” for fraud.<\/p>\n

Let us look at the most famous peddler of these Modern Plenary Indulgences<\/a> here in the United States of America, Al Gore<\/a>. \u00a0Selling Carbon Offset Credits has been very, very good to Al Gore<\/a>. \u00a0He owns a mansion and yacht. \u00a0Not just any mansion, mind you, but one that uses more electricity in a month than the average American home uses in a year<\/a>! Like other eco-hypocrits<\/a> pushing the Carbon Offset Credit Scam<\/a>, Al Gore also isn’t giving up his use of private jets<\/a>, which produce about four and half tons of carbon per hour of flight time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
