The chic thing to do these days for politicians and rich people is to purchase carbon offsets to counterbalance their shame for engaging in the very activities that they claim are harmful to the environment.  That action seems a lot like what people do when they order a rich piece of chocolate cake with their dinner - despite espousing their desire to lose weight - and justify it by saying, “It’s OK, I’m drinking a Diet Coke.”

• John Edwards is carbon neutral!
• My kind of diet
• So this is what it has come to
• Carbon rationing in Britain
• Global warming predictions were overestimated. I’m just shocked.
