New Website Offers Carbon Debits to Take Away Al Gore's Meaningless Carbon Credits

This is way too funny, and by now, you should know the drill concerning potables, combustibles, and sharp objects. You've been warned!

A website has surfaced that is “on a mission to take away every one of Al Gore's meaningless carbon credits by simply providing carbon debits.”

Called “Carbon Credit Killers” (h/t Glenn Reynolds), the proprietors “run a burgeoning business of clearing trees from grasslands so the Antelope won’t be scared.”

Their Deluxe Package includes:

  • Kill (Shred) 1 Living Tree (see pictures of this being done)
  • Send an email to Al Gore about your civic mindedness in buying Carbon Debits.
  • Send an email to you certifying you are doing your part to save the Earth from Carbon Credits.
  • 1 shirt of your choice (specify style and size in notes at check-out).
  • Pictures of the Tree with Your Plaque both Before and After it has been shredded
  • And we will send you the plaque with a commemorative piece of the tree attached.

In reality, I have no idea whether this is serious, or just a brilliant way to sell t-shirts and marketing material.

Regardless, I can’t stop laughing.
