Carbon Offset Purchase Scheme for Airports

(San Francisco, California) Some enterprising guilt-mongers have convinced the San Francisco Airport Commission to invest $163,000 on certified carbon offset kiosks for the airport.

[T]he general idea, officials said, is that a traveler would approach a kiosk resembling the self-service check-in stations used by airlines, then punch in his or her destination.

The computer would calculate the carbon footprint and the cost of an investment to offset the damage.

The traveler could then swipe a credit card to help save the planet.

As a result, jello-brained travelers can board their flights free from guilt. Al Gore and his ilk have convinced the weak-minded that they are, collectively and individually, responsible for everything that goes bad and the only way they can minimize their guilt is to pay, pay, pay.

Incidentally, certified carbon offset program donations are NOT tax deductible. Note that they are, however, called "investments" which is the same term used in every other leftist money grab.

Of course, one positive result of the plan is that an empirical measure of the gullibility of northern California travelers will be obtained. Arguably, the haul from the global warming money drops will be an indicator of just how stupid people can be.
