Shout out...

...to all the folks involved in my carbon consumption. I like being warm when it's -20 outside. My coal fired electricity is keeping the place warm, oil is keeping me mobile, etc.

I would like to give a shout out to incandescent light bulbs. I'm not sure what they were hurting, but dang they were bright.

Diesel is high, but I am happy to be able to fill my truck up with it. Weren't so happy that it set me back by $115.00 dollars.

Do you feel guilty having such a large carbon footprint?

Does burning old copies of "An Inconvenient Truth" count against my footprint?"

Isn't that the do umentary by Al Gore. He flies all over the world in a private jet to promote that thing. Wait that makes him a hypocrit.

No. I'm sorry it doesn't. However, you are in luck as I happen to be a Government Licensed Carbon Sequesterer (No kidding) and for a small fee I will gladly put together a carbon mitigation plan for you. Granted, it will cost you money each year and it will do absolutely nothing, but it will give you the assurance that your nasty carbon is being sequestered in grass or trees where it will be stored so we all don't die a fiery death. Of course I'll have to give a portion of this to the government and we will also have to allow for third party verification of our mitigation plan to insure we are on the up and up. Good thing is I can take credit cards and I can automatically draft your account if you wish. Just think of it as a tax with similar differences but it is 100% deductible so there is no reason for you not to jump on board. I'll even supply the Kool Aide. :mrgreen:

You'd sequester my carbon? You are a prince, sir. I'm sure the price is reasonable. Bill me at Al's place in TN.

 

[Bigfoot]

Al should have stopped after he invented the Internet. It was down hill after that. Any of you tennessee boys remember his daddy's fine herd of Hereford cattle?

That I can do. As far as billing you for it ....... I ...... umm ...... have a slight ethical problem with this. Knowing what I do about all of this stuff I just don't think I could in good conscious charge you for it. In fact, I'd feel much better about myself if I were to simply sell drugs to children at the elementary school and that is something I'm not about to do so this creates quite the dilemma. For what its worth, if you get cold, just toss a few tires on the fire and we'll both be fine.
