Leading Environmentalist Claims Carbon Credits Are a Scam

January 24, 2009

 James Lovelock, a leading environmentalist and believer in man-made global warming, says that the idea of using carbon credits is nothing but a scam.

Most of the “green” stuff is verging on a gigantic scam. Carbon trading, with its huge government subsidies, is just what finance and industry wanted. It’s not going to do a damn thing about climate change, but it’ll make a lot of money for a lot of people and postpone the moment of reckoning

This is coming from a believer in the man-made global warming theory. Even if you believe that global warming is real this has to make you take a second look at the means behind solving this crisis. It has been my belief, and it still is, that the whole global warming issue is nothing but a scam to separate you and I from our money and make it easier to control our behaviors through regulations and fees. Even if I give to you the point that global warming is real and is man-made for the sake of argument, the man who is credited with saving the ozone layer still says that the proposed solutions are nothing but a scam.

 Is there any wonder why they call it the green movement? It is going to make certain people very rich.

    I took a environmental class at ORU in 2007 and I believe damage is being done to our world mainly by huge corporations who are irresponsible and greedy. I believe we play a very small part. As far as global warming, it can be argued logically from both sides and that causes me pause. In addition, if we are in a global “warming” I would like a word with Al Gore because we will be -20 tomorrow night! That is NOT a warming but a cooling…There is a Russian scientific paper out that actually states they believe we are entering another ice age. Interesting and much more in line with our weather here in NH! LOL
