I’m leaning towards the Deluxe Carbon Debit Package myself.

    1. Ripping out pages of the Byron Bay Echo and layering them over sleeping hippies as a weed-suppressant mulch doesn’t count, huh?

    1. No No No!
      By chopping down a tree, and letting the chips get buried, you sequestrate far more carbon than Algore ever did! By allowing grass and a new sapling to grow, you genuinely cause a carbon credit.

      Like most things to do with Goebbels Warning, this whole thing is a terrible fraud. If carried out on a larger scale, it would actually reduce atmospheric CO2 levels.

      Even worse, by killing more O2 breathing CO2 exhaling tasty animals, you decrease atmospheric CO2 even more. The whole thing is a con!

    1. I’m with you Zoe. However, we can still salvage the plan by simply shooting the tasty animals and use the wood chips as fuel/flavoring for the BBQ grill. Additionally, The run-off from the charred wood and blood will kill that nasty oxygen spewing algae in any nearby lake. Another plus.

    1. I don’t see why they can’t air-freight your chips to you.

    1. I liked that. But I’d prefer an option whereby my own faecal matter was recycled in the form of a donation to Al Gore.

    1. This is awesome! I finally know what to get my Sister the greenie for Christmas. She “Goat me a gift” last year which involved donating money in my name so some poor dude in a far off land could have his very own goat.

      I wanted to get her some Gunns shares, as was suggested here a while back, but it’s difficult to buy shares in someone else’s name apparently.

      This more than makes up for it. Thankyou.

    1. #4 The only problem I can see with air freight it it’ll take a while and I want my barbecued tasty animals NOW!

      On the other hand…
      If we load them into the back of a B1 bomber, we could freight them at supersonic speeds. Not only will we get our chips faster but think of the extra CO2 generated to maintain those speeds. Then on top of that, imagine how many air-to-air refueling tankers we’ll need to get just one supersonic freight-bomber from the USA to Oz!

      For that I’d be willing to wait.

    1. I was in freakin’ awe of what looked like a tracked bobcat with the woodchipper from hell attached. It sliced. It diced.

      That attachment would look fantastic mounted on the front of my V8 F100. Another example of mechanical genius. I equate this to being equivalent to the self-loading shotgun or the self-licking icecream.

    1. Nearly on topic:
      Wired reports that scientists have learned how to better model phytoplankton in their climate models. Turns out that the wee beasties are responsible for 2/3rds of the photosynthesis on earth, and were drastically simplified (or ignored) in previous models.

      No word yet on how AlGore and his enviroclones will attempt to spin this and maintain the credibility of their consensus consortium.

    1. 13, brett_l:

      I had heard about that years ago. The argument at the time, iirc was whether it was 2/3 or 3/5 of the photosynth conversion was due to the itty bitty critters.

      I don’t remember any details from that day, we were all stoned as hell, but I do recall the consensus was that in order to save the earth, the whales had to die.

      Then, I think we went to Taco Bell.

      But, I am not any form or sort of scientizer so we could have been talking about ground squirrels and I just got confused.

    1. All this talk of trucks and critters. It’s funny, you know, sometimes ya just get that tingling feeling and your hairs stand on end. There’s a sort of spiritual presence, like, maybe… Iowahawk is kinda… hanging around.

    1. Carbon debits? Pffft! Paco Securities can offer forward contracts on carbon debits, with a roll-over feature, that will cancel Al’s carbon offsets unto the tenth generation. We can also fix you up with a carbon insolvency contract – payable to the beneficiary either in instalments under an annuity, or deferred lump sum – that will wipe out any offsets purchased by your neighbors. But what’s really hot right now are reverse-credit magnesium offsets. Remember: diversification of risk is key.

      Maybe you should start with Pre-boom Anti Cooling Offsets. As you say, risk diversification.

    1. #28, Barbara, agree with you about the black walnuts.  I once carved a Welsh spoon out of a piece, and unthinkingly dumped the chips and dust in my flowerbed.  Killed everything within a two foot radius.  Those trees are murderous.

      It’s MUCH worse than GIGO.

      Climate models are all recursive (their previous outputs are their inputs).

      ANY ERROR NO MATTER HOW SMALL, will be amplified by recursion, and will result in an exponential increase in the innacuracy of the prediction.

      It’s near perfect in -> Garbage out.

      All computer models of the atmosphere are a fraud.

    1. #4 rhhardin, why the chips cannot be airfreighted is simply that the chips are already there.

      Read your sentance again:

      I don’t see why they can’t air-freight your chips to you.
