Pay for Your Carbon
Look at this. Some cheeky sod has devised a way to work out your cars carbon and then wants
you to pay for it! Take it out of the bleeding tax we pay on the petrol

Skoda Octavia 2L VRs
Your emissions are: 5.06 Tonnes of CO2
The cost to offset this CO2 will be € 54.97£ 37.92
Bargain......Not
Wonder if anybody is going to pay, don't get me wrong I'm all for reducing pollution but I just think that the high polluting nations
should maybe lead the way in reduction instead of trying to make to little people be accountable for everything thats bad in the world.
Rant over
Actually maybe it is a bargain if they only knew how I drive it

small rant
fairly obvious but
Industry has massive Co2 outputs, tax them
Car companies are working ways round taxes example topgear and the bug mobile and the camera car... (so called hybrids)
We need a different fuel source without shooting ourselves in the foot, ie more profit in growing fuel than food!

Looks like a scam to me. Directs you to WorldPay's site.
Who are you paying and for what?
You have to be a mug to fall for that!

I reckon on on person by person rating, the worst polluters are the politicians.
Jetting of here and there for "fact finding" missions, and spouting a load of old shite at the same time.

Yep, the amount of hot air they kick out must be a significant contribution to any GW

According to that website. Doing 3000 miles a year in a Landy with a 4.2V8 give of less carbon than doing 12000 miles a year in one of those toyota
prius things. I know which I would rather have!

Id be more worried about the methane output of the worlds food stock animals (i.e. cows, pigs, sheep). Methane is an important contributor to GW (Be
it man induced or not).
Also the steam we emit from everywhere is also a greenhouse gas.

couldn't find anything to say where the money will be spent, or any email contact to ask. I'd really like to know...

The whole thing is rediculous.
Companies, airlines, countries even, can buy carbon credits from people who don't emit so much greehouse gasses.
So how does this reduce the overall pollution of the atmosphere? All it means is the customers / taxpayers in the developed countries have to pay more
for their fuel, transport goods, etc and the airlines etc continue to pump out the same amount of CO2 as before.

It's not called Global Warming any more. It's Climate Change.
Scientists (environmental) are in the pay of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change). Those scientists who wrote to the IPCC and said
they were talking shite are also included in the IPCC list of contributing scientists (but the IPCC doesn't mention the objectionists!!!!!). The
objectionists need to resort to legal action to get their names removed from said list.
Notice it is now Climate Change. The earth has been doing this for 4.5 BILLION years, and a bunch of tossers think they can change it, but can't
change the weather yet!
