Do you need any more proof that large profits are to be made from
greenwash, i.e. pretending to combat climate change?

"Business leaders including directors at Tesco, Lloyds TSB and other
top high street names have urged Gordon Brown to drop his slowly,
slowly approach to tackling global warming and go for
"transformational change", saying the prime minister should not be
held back by fears over the current financial crisis.

But the involvement in the initiative of BAA, owner of Heathrow, and
the energy firm E.ON angered environmentalists, who said the companies
that encouraged flying and built coal-fired power stations showed
"hypocrisy of the purest strain".

A letter signed by some of the biggest figures in British business, to
be sent today to Brown and to David Cameron and Nick Clegg, said the
party leaders should work together urgently on measures such as higher
energy efficiency standards, support for low-carbon technology and the
auctioning of carbon allowances..."

I seem to remember that not all that long ago motorists on this
transport newsgroup were quite keen on carbon trading/offsetting/
neutral/footprint/blahblah as a means of trying to excuse their
pollution. Don't laugh! They were paying for people to plant trees for
them, among other things. As if this could ever compensate for taking
carbon out of the ground, which has been there for millions of years,
burning it and then releasing those emissions into the atmosphere in
the vain hope that some mechanism or other will absorb it and retain
it for more millions of years.

Why are you deliberately ignoring the point I made about serious
profits from greenwash? Is it because you can no longer deny it and
you now see yourself, as a serious 4x4 polluter, being deliberately
misled and exploited by governments and corporations?
