This rather amusing video was produced by a project of Greenpeace. While we agree with their assertion that carbon credits are a bad idea, we strongly disagree with their “solution.” Rather than carbon credits, Greenpeace seeks draconian and unrealistic cuts in carbon emissions that would cast the civilized world into a preindustrial state, all over unproven and […]
