Holy Warming Church

Tell me I am not the only one seeing the purchase of carbon offests as a parallel between the cult of global warming and the pre-reformation purchase of dispensations from the Catholic Church?  Why is it I suspect that one is just about as valid and useful as the other?  I am rich, so let me sin, for I shall buy my way out of all consequences for my actions… Feh.

That meme has been everywhere for the last week or two—you’re just late to the party.

And in your absence, we have *really* been partying!!

Just out of curiosity, how much do carbon credits cost anyway?  Are they really only for rich people?  If so, I have to assume that they were something thought up to fleece the rich, because there’s not enough rich people in the entire world to make up for the rest of us even if you exclude China and India.
