Saving the Planet Through Carbon Emissions

Typical. The Today show has sent their anchors to Mt. Kilimanjaro, Belize, Iceland and Australia to highlight different environmental concerns. If NBC is so concerned with the environment, shouldn't they be using local talent and interviewing them from New York City rather than sending film crews to the four corners of the world as some sort of green ratings stunt?

Go Green On NBC. Sigh » Pirate’s Cove — Avast, Sea Dogs!

Did anyone out there catch the halftime report on NBC during the Redskins-Dallas game? Bubblehead Meredith provided possibly one of the most irresponsible climate change reports of all time. I wish I could find the video, but, she claimed that the seas will rise 200 feet, that climate change has dried up all the water in Australia, and that the snows and glaciers are melting on Mt. Kilimanjaro because of climate change. Even the most irresponsible anthropogenic global warming sucker (Al Gore) wouldn’t make the claim about 200 feet of sea height change. The UN IPCC, a hysterical document in itself, only claims a few inches.

Calculating carbon emissions in the provinces is based on measuring the difference between a carbon source and its sink (the carbon reservoir that is accumulated and stored after its release) as an index to measure the release and removal of greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere.

Provinces that have higher carbon emissions than carbon captures should pay for the excess based on a certain amount of local gross domestic products (GDP), thus setting up a carbon fund.

The fund, according to experts’ calculations, could be set between 0.05 percent to 0.15 percent of provincial GDP, or about 13 billion yuan to 39 billion yuan for 2006 for instance.

When it comes to clean air and protecting our environment and fighting global warming, everyone in America wants to be part of that.
