You can do nothing about the carbon that you spew into the atmosphere. Its there until nature deals with it. "Offset" = New World Order A scam perpetrated by Gore and his cronies. How the media plays into these scams is totally sick. Its just show how pathetic the global warming hoax is. A money grab. It’s bogus to say “… thus neutralizing your site’s carbon footprint.”

Even if you don't accept it as the truth, I still fail to see it as you stated. By Tech Crunch hyping the carbon credit scam and what I like to call 'the weather', they are doing a disservice to the rest of us. Repeat things enough times and we start believing it. In this sense, the green scam is poised to change the world as we know it. Just like anything someone or some company pushes, they'll only tell the positives and conveniantly leave out the negatives, when it's the negatives which carry 10x more weight. It's not that I believe man is not good, its that I believe those who have the power to control man's opinion are not good. Before you go green, read heavily into the UN Agenda 21. Make sure not to miss what is written between the lines either. I fail to see how the truth is pessimistic. Even if you don’t accept it as the truth, I still fail to see it as you stated.

If they can come up with a fake cause to fight for, then they can lie to themselves and feel that they are doing good. But they are falling into a bottomless pit, and the feelings they think are good are as fake as their causes. They need to realize that feeling good only comes from actually being good, you can not fake it. It’s not that they hate human acheivement, it’s that they hate themselves.

BUT, I'd like to point out, as you probably already know, that the black background makes no significant difference on the vast majority of monitors out there for energy savings.
