Thanks for this delicious parody! And to quote Arnold Schwarzenegger at the Governors' Global Climate change summit in 2007: " You can have a solar-powered jacuzzi" - it is all about how intrusive changes are in our life-style, carbon offset are indulgences and a way to pay for externalities , not a way to reduce the overall "planet cheating practices", they are a temporary solution that cannot be the answer at the core of the problem, they cannot substitute leadership within regulatory framework and technology-driven solutions.
