Dave Gee: Life from Right Field

You've heard all the crap about "Carbon offsetting"... the greenie media beat-up bollocks which encourages misguided individuals to invest in projects to "offset" their so-called carbon emissions.

Even for the sad majority who have bought into the MSM-fuelled myth of man-made carbon change and global warming because of CO2 emissions, carbon offsetting is a massive con job. Put simply, many "carbon offset" projects just don't add up...

Some companies have been found to be selling the carbon credits from their supposed projects several times over, while Carbon credits from tree planting are basically a phony climate fix.

Then there's the massive tree plantation projects, which have seen some indigenous people forced out of their communities (Amazon villagers refer to them as ‘devil’s orchards’.)

But now (with tongue planted firmly in cheek), there's a new kind of offsetting... Cheat Offsetting. According to the website offering this unique service...

When you cheat on your partner you add to the heartbreak, pain and jealousy in the atmosphere... Cheatneutral offsets your cheating by funding someone else to be faithful and NOT cheat. This neutralises the pain and unhappy emotion and leaves you with a clear conscience.

Cheatneutral does recommend that you first look at simple, everyday ways of reducing your cheating. Once you've done that, you can offset the remaining, unavoidable cheating through the site. ;-)
