Solar Cooker System as “Most Meaningful Carbon Offset” Campaign Launched Sacramento, CA, November 24, 2009. Solar Cookers International (SCI), a not-for-profit organization founded in 1987, announced today the launch of “The most meaningful carbon offset is also the simplest” campaign. This campaign is arriving at a time when an enormous number of individuals want to do something meaningful to slow global warming. Yet, while our governments are painfully slow to act, options to offset our o... reneinsac bbbbmer 2009-11-29T20:20:13Z 2009-11-29T20:20:13Z

So, for all you doubters, you seek to support the oil companies (which are ripping you off and killing you and are the reason we're in Iraq) rather than developing clean sustainable energy??? That's ridiculous! What has come to be labeled 'global warming' is a constellation of empirical observances, including climate change, flora and fauna life patterns, and a host of other cause and effect relationships, that, like it or not, are resulting in a decline of a sustainable environment. People who challenge these theories are usually paranoid, in total denial of truth, and ridiculously ill-informed. But, it all comes down to whom one trusts, I guess... Such people carry the water for the oil and ag industries who have modified our world from a more natural state to one where plastics and steroids have replaced what we used to call food, our basis sustenance is compromised, including our food and water systems, and quite observable weather/climate changes have taken place that have potentially catastrophic results. Btw, there is no 'clean coal', and nuclear energy is NOT 'clean'. If you think it so, then go live by a reactor, or store spent fuel rods in your basement, for your ignorance justifies such ridiculousness.

This is a great idea whose time has come. I am tired of this "carbon trading" nonsense. And while I am conserving energy and changing my family's life to be local and sustainable, I still want to do SOMETHING to offset the carbon that I do create. I'd like to be part of the solution, not the problem. So a "meaningful: carbon offset I can trust and humanitarian benefits as well...sing me up!

Sounds to me that handing someone a solar cooker gets more energy on-line. Deforestation is a problem to solve, no matter what your opinion on global warming.

Global warming is a scam by Liberals to seize power by any means...even creating mass hysteria. The screwed up thing is that for those of us who truly care about the environment, global warming propagandists harm the overall cause. It's hard to take environmentalists serious when they fake research. If the far left lies about global warming, what else do they lie about to seek political clout? Global Warming is a religion, nothing else. A spiritual belief. And we all know that true believers can be very dangerous and will fight and die for their cause....which in the end is all about power and control. Why wont the Libs allow nuclear plants to be built? Hmm we could reduce our dependence on fossil fuels by 75% or more. We need nuclear power to produce the huge amounts of energy needed to turn our vehicles to hydrogen powered vehicles (Honda has a great hydrogen car) Hydrogen is the only reasonable and proven way to get away from our dependence on fossil fuel powered vehicles.

Hackers found e-mails with leading scientists cooking the numbers to hide a cooling climate. Other e-mails showed that there is not a scientific consensus on global warming. Check out the debate! http://networkedblogs.com/p19017096 http://networkedblogs.com/p19002409

Yep, these so called "Climate Scientist" have been preventing scientific data from being released that would altered evidence to bolster the case for man-made climate change. This will soon be the greatest scandal in modern science.

I hope this was an attempt at sarcasm... If not, citing the Washington Times as source material is on a par with referencing a comic book.
