Real Journalism - I think not!!!

What is the deal with Carbon Offsets? A person continues to live their normal lifestyle and feels guilty, so they pay a corporation (like the one Gore owns) anywhere from $5.50 to $12.00 per ton of CO2 so they can sleep at night. I calculated my carbon footprint and the results vary from 35 tons of CO2 to 60 Tons of CO2 depending on which site you use. One site said that they could plant 52 trees to offset my Carbon output, the coal company that I work for recently planted about 5,000 trees, shouldn't that count for something. Sorry but I just don't buy the idea of buying carbon offsets, if a person is so concerned with the enviroment they should make some personal sacrifices.

MSNBC, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC and others sells just as much BULL as Fox News does!

Yes they lie, but no one can lie as much as fox, they are an embarrasment to journalism. They're just a right wing propaganda network, and if you cant see that, they've already got you brainwashed (or your'e just an idiot). I don't watch any news channels, If I want to know about a topic I research it, I don't need no political pundit telling me what to believe. The only thing you can tie Gore to is a zinc mine in Tennessee, but what does all of this prove? Nothing, Global Warming does exist, it's been proven, whats wrong with someone standing up and saying carbon emissions need to be controlled. But wait you work for a coal company, if we get away from fossil fuels you want have a job. so stop being biased and do some real research, quit listening to the shit they feed you. I tell you what, do some research and show me how mining helps the environment, or how mining companies help this region (They don't, I know all the dirty secrets of the mining companies) or how Al Gore is such an evil hypocrite, if you can give me a reliable source, no conservative web sites, or conservative nutjob viewpoints, I'll hush.
Now a coal company planting 5,000 trees is a joke, who is making up for the 14 million acres of forest, and over 1,000 miles of streams they have destroyed. All that planting does it get people off thier back for a while, just like the Elk introduction did a few years ago. But if you want to debate me on the affects of mining, I'll put you to shame, so for your own sake, dont even bother.
