Rosie and Carbon Offsets are Bunk!
Question: I don't understand this thing about planting trees instead of conserving energy. Can you explain it? And also, what about Rosie O'Donnell's statement that America is a terrorist nation? Do you think there is anything to it? Ramona Moore, Columbia, South Carolina.
Answer: I used your question, Ramona, because the carbon offset issue is real and because I have received over a dozen questions about Rosie O'Donnell. Regarding Rosie O'Donnell, please see my response on February 26, 2007. I absolutely do not care at all what Rosie O'Donnell says about anything. From the little I have seen on news clips, she is an extremely ignorant and a not very intelligent person. I simply do not care anything about her and will not waste any of my time watching or reading about her.
Regarding planting trees instead of reducing one's pollution, it is all a scam. For information about global warming, see my answer on October 6, 2006. This tree planting scam is called carbon offsets. Supposively, one can keep polluting and using excessive energy and offset their carbon "footprint" by paying some company to plant so many trees to offset one's carbon input into the atmosphere. It is all bunk. Ignore it. And certainly do not plant trees or pay anyone to plant trees as an "offset" for you. I love trees and plant many myself. I encourage you, Ramona, and everyone to plant trees. But not as a carbon offset. Rather, plant them for their beauty and the homes they provide for wildlife. Carbon offsets are only for non-thinking people.

I think the carbon offset scam is designed to make rich people, who are feeling guilty about their energy consumption,feel better. Other than that, it is a worthless program as far as countering any carbon in the atmosphere. Like you said, it is always nice to plant trees but that doesn't counter one's carbon footprint.
