Very Elmer Gantry of him, right down to the buying of indulgences. Praise Gaia!
Posted at 2007-02-25 09:02:21 [PermaLink]hey Damian, great blog, just came across it today while doing research for an article. in response to the 'carbon credits' rebuttal, imho you are letting suzuki off a bit too easy. the people over at nicedoggie.net put it way more eloquently than i can, so here is a link if you want to have a look..[External Link]

A epilogue to this would be for someone to go and see where the money went an whether any CO2 emissions were actually eliminated/prevented or -like MADD - that 90% of the money went into marketing fees.
daninvan, just checked out your link LOL..hilarious..suzuki definitely should be using this as his means of travel..unless of course he is only preaching and not practicing...

Brodbeck is a tool. What's HE doing re. greenhouse gasses?
Just goes to show you. He is one of them.
