A general observation directed at no one in particular:
There is an interesting contradiction to be seen when free marketeers denounce the commodification of environmental responsibility. Specifically, how quickly they abandon any faith in the ability of the free market to ensure the effectiveness of the commodification of environmental responsibility.
It is interesting how untrustworthy and unreliable the market becomes when the subject of carbon offsets comes up. I don't believe in invisible hands, but if I did, I certainly wouldn't presume that they went on vacation with respect to carbon offsets.
