Global warming alarmists may want to expedite their efforts to hamstring the global economy with greenhouse gas regulation. A new study touted as showing that we're not sufficiently panicky about manmade carbon dioxide emissions actually supports the exact opposite conclusion.

The growing industry has few standards; buyers need to beware. 'There's a lack of standards in the voluntary market, and the offsets that people are purchasing might not be accomplishing what they hope they will,' said Deborah Carlson, climate change campaigner with the David Suzuki Foundation, a Canadian environmental advocacy group.

The rush to go on a carbon diet, even if by proxy, is in overdrive. But is the carbon-neutral movement just a gimmick? On this, environmentalists don't agree. Some believe it helps build support, but others argue that these purchases don't accomplish anything other easing one's conscience after buying a 6,000 sq.ft. house or an SUV.

WASHINGTON, Students and office workers, you'd better brush up your math skills. On top of counting calories, you can now calculate how much what you're eating is adding in carbon cost. It's a new take on "carbs," only this time we're talking the damage you may be doing not to your body but to the globe.
