Chiulean Sea Bass is endangered, but you can buy it from sustainable ceritfied fisheries. Which is exactly what the catering company did. And did you forget that the groom's family is responsible for the rehearsal dinner? Do you need to buy made-up-facts offsets? Geez, Roger, is even one of yout posts about Gore supported by fact?

Do you need to buy made-up-facts offsets?

Which has been going on for a rather long time before man got in the game. Why, I ask, imbue each and every species with a right to life when we do not, in fact, control outcomes to the extent we'd like to imagine. On some occasions, like whaling, yes we have a rather large role, as humans, but to generalize from that to the preservation of all species, pretty much regardless of cost? I give you the spotted owl, whose 'endangerment' turns out not to have been logging old-growth forests (ceasing that cost thousands of jobs, mill closures, small town eradications) but a competing owl species. What does one do about that? I’ll engage you on a discussion, Lem, not a debate, re extinction. Which has been going on for a rather long time before man got in the game.

Just because Al Gore has very likely got it wrong on climate change doesn't mean there aren't <a href="http://tinyurl.com/yqggal" rel="nofollow"> species of animals </a> going extinct. How many, how soon and what can we do (if anything beyond the endangered species act) is in my opinion an important debate we should be having. For the record.

We set up a fund, take it public, privatize it, apply for grants, lobby for earmarks, sell shares, float bonds, write options, trade futures. The Chilean Sea Bass can put us on Easy Street!

I will sell it to you for about the same price of carbon offsets which was 28 cents per credit. In return I promise not to eat endangered fish for the rest of the year. For you this means you can feel good about yourself, just as you would buying carbon offsets from the Sudan. I’ll be happy to sell you fish offsets.
