But, of course, they are purchasing "carbon offsets" to justify it all...



What a load of horseshit.

From the article:

And the total number of electric cars or hybrids among that number? "Five," says Ms Jorgensen. "The government has some alternative fuel cars but the rest will be petrol or diesel. We don't have any hybrids in Denmark, unfortunately, due to the extreme taxes on those cars. It makes no sense at all, but it's very Danish."

[...]

And this being Scandinavia, even the prostitutes are doing their bit for the planet. Outraged by a council postcard urging delegates to "be sustainable, don't buy sex," the local sex workers' union – they have unions here – has announced that all its 1,400 members will give free intercourse to anyone with a climate conference delegate's pass. The term "carbon dating" just took on an entirely new meaning.

If anyone still doubt this is all about a global carbon tax and certain sectors profiting from it, think again.....

It is all about money

We can print it and some of the poorer countries want it.

What a bunch of bullshit

almost as hypocritical as the likes of Bono etc who preach about saving the planet then organise massive world tours which spurt out masses of CO2.

Is this not the big problem with govt (and fucking pop stars, come to think of it)? Do as I say and not as I do?

save the Earth, plant a tree (over a politician)!

well we need the government to run the country, but they need to have the best interests at heart for the country (which they don't...):mad

I don't know about that, I'm not seeing any governments doing a particularly good job... I think we're best off without the buggers...
