A Carbon-Neutral Editorial - Los Angeles Times

A Carbon-Neutral Editorial - Los Angeles Times
It's a nice idea, as far as it goes — a little consciousness-raising can be a good thing, and it certainly doesn't hurt to get more windmills spinning on the grid. But as some environmentalists have noted, this kind of do-gooder consumerism doesn't necessarily achieve an overall net reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (which is, after all, the ultimate goal).

That will take regulatory oversight and global coordination. Not to mention a dose of real sacrifice from all of us — including those of us who live in 15,000-square-foot estates in Beverly Hills and travel in private jets.
I'm not so keen on the "regulatory oversight and global coordination". "A dose of real sacrifice" is right on target. Especially those that ride in Lear Jets and take limos.
