| 1. | Carbon Offset | ||
|
An act of pretending to care about the environment. The attempt to justify ones use of greenhouse gas emissions. A false hope for solving global warming. The act of buying ‘carbon credits’ from a third-party company that says it will offset the carbon emissions the purchaser produces. The problem with carbon offsetting is it allows companies to continue to produce harmful greenhouse gasses while their offset has done little or nothing to counter global warming. A recent Financial Times article found that many offset companies and their 'carbon credits' were of either uncertain value or were completely worthless. Global warming cannot be solved by just planting more trees, a common way to attempt to offset ones emissions. If global warming could be solved by just planting trees, environmentalists would be planting night and day. A certain well known ex-vice-pres 'eco-maniac' very interestingly endorses the practice of carbon offsetting. The industry of carbon offsetting is expected to double by 2010.
A better solution to solve global warming is to reduce total emissions as much a possible. Source: google carbon offset and financial times Gore: google al gore and carbon offset Journalist: Environmentalists say your company is going to produce a 3% increase in greenhouse gas emissions on earth.
Company CEO: That is indeed super true, but it's totally okay because we carbon offset. We bought a shit-ton of carbon credits, so we are carbon neutral, duuuude! |

Making sure the enviorment is taken care of. Stopping emition of pollution/Green House gasses. When to many greenhouse gasses are emitted then the heat gets trapped in the earths atmosphere! WE sign enviormentalist contracts and treaties and don't follow them! Enviormentalism is good!

Any person that sells a product or idea on the basis that not buying into that product or idea will cause global warming. A politician says "Vote for me because I'm going to shut down the factory you work at that emits those dangerous greenhouse gasses and support legislation to give you an energy credit on your income taxes if you buy a hybrid car." The voter says "Yeah right, he's such a Gore Whore." It can also refer to someone pimping a green product; "Those guys that sell those light bulbs are Gore Whores."

|
(n.) Soem gasses, such as Carbon DiOxide (CO2) resident in earths' atmosphere act like greenhouse glass and trap some of the heat that the sun shines on us (by creating more molescules for it to travel through, on the plus side it moves faster, not that you would notice). There are too many fo these gasses for the plantlife on earth to absorb, and so slowly the earth is heating up, and by 2030, 15 million Bangladeshis will be homless. Like you should care... The netherlands, where Joram lives, will be flooded. Haha on j00!

A planet that will probably not exist in 2, 000 years. I wonder why.
*cough, cough, humans, cough* See man, are we screwed, if it exists. Greenhouse gasses, global warming, polar melting, nuclear radiation.

What will happen if we keep slowly destroying the Earth. "Global warming, greenhouse gasses and pollution are destroying the Earth!"
"Man, are we screwed." |
