Carbon Offsetting

Here I go again on about Carbon Offsetting.
I made the mistake of thinking of going on holiday and while searching for the best prices to our chosen destination came upon one travel website which had "Carbon Offsetting charge £9.30 each way. Untick box if you do not wish to offset your flight carbon"
Well excuse me but didn't the beloved Gordon Brown double air tax as part of a green carbon type thingy.
No, sorry your right he is not beloved, hes just a twit. (substitute "i" for "a" if there are no children about)
Other airlines are actually selling carbon offsetting on the flights, going around selling you nothing for something in the region of £90 on some long haul in first class.
Its got to stop. Its a myth, it can not be changed.
Look its simple there was an ice age and the earth was pretty and covered in snow and ice and you could not see the mess at all.
But then it started to thaw and instead of being able to walk from France to Britain you had to catch a ferry, well dug out to start with until P & O saw a profit in it.
As the earth was one rather massive ice cube its taking a long time to thaw out and it is still doing it. That is why there is ice at the poles, and that is why it is melting.
It is nothing to do with me wanting to fly on holiday, paying £9.30 is about as likely to stop global warming as everyone holding their breath for a minute every Wednesday.

I should be careful with that though, no one in power realises we breathe out Carbon Dioxide, there could be million to be made from a breath tax.
