Not so Green after all?

Global Warming - Carbon Dioxide - Environment - Climate Change - Air Pollution - New York Times:

"The worst of the carbon-offset programs resemble the Catholic Church's sale of indulgences back before the Reformation,%u201D said Denis Hayes, the president of the Bullitt Foundation, an environmental grant-making group. %u201CInstead of reducing their carbon footprints, people take private jets and stretch limos, and then think they can buy an indulgence to forgive their sins.

This whole game is badly in need of a modern Martin Luther, D Mr. Hayes added."

Are the candidates listening?
