Try con men like Michael Moore and Al Gore
Hell in Canada you can go with that hypocrite David Suzuki.
All making millions conning gullible fools like you.
And do explain to us how exactly "Carbon Offsets" which AL Gore and other
con artists are touting, are ANYTHING by a con job.
As to your false comparison of individuals to corporations..
Well that's typical of the AGW crowd.
Part and parcel of cherry-picking when not cooking the data. Or blocking
other scientists from seeing the data to insure that it's was properly
interpreted. Or even blocking scientists who dare question AGW from being
published or attending conferences where the subject is discussed.
As to you final claim of "privatizing the profits and socializing the costs"
feel free to give us some examples
Surely you do have some examples..
>You really are a Pollyanna.

Better to be called a Pollyanna by a gullible useful idiot, than vice-versa.
