From Moonbattery:
A reminder to those in the global warming Kool-Aid club who have to grapple with guilt and even feelings of hypocrisy for advocating Al Gore’s absurd War on Weather while partaking of the benefits of industrialized civilization: an enterprising outfit called TerraPass sells eco-indulgences, which let you inflict climatic doom to your heart’s content without putting a dent in your aura of righteous smugness.
Say you own a 2004 Ford Explorer and you drive it 20,000 miles a year. Plug the numbers into TerraPass’s handy interface and out comes the amount you owe Gaia: $79.95 per annum. Since Gaia is a goddess and not a real person, TerraPass will collect the cash on her behalf, and send you a decal you can proudly display on your vehicle.
Wait, I have to stop laughing. Just a sec.
Honestly, this is a seriously great business idea. I take my hat off to the folks who thought up this plan to separate fools from their money. And perhaps the funniest — and most appropriate — thing about this business is that it nails what liberalism is all about: Making yourself feel good about yourself!
Forbes needs to do an article on these folks. Absolutely brilliant.
