First we had carbon offset trading, a cute little offering similar to a pyramid scheme, where you live your life, but pay money to have others do things to make you carbon neutral. This is perfect for people like Al Gore, who preach about people needing to change their lifestyles, but do not want to actually do it themselves.
Now, we have another scare tactic money making racket, Climate Appraisal. Their mission?
Address-based climate reporting that allows homebuyers and property owners to assess how climate change and other environmental risks could impact a property. Now individuals can have the same kind of information the insurance companies have to review their risk.
For the low, low price of $30, you can get a premium report that includes information on over 50 individual items across 9 categories like Shoreline Reduction, Earthquakes, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, Wildfire & Drought, Flood, Health & Disease, and will help you determine:
- Will your home be submerged this century from global warming?
- What is your hurricane history and how many can you expect?
- How strong are the tornadoes near you and how near?
- How close do you live to a fault line and where are they? (now Climate Change involves earthquakes? Give me a break!"
- What is your wildfire risk and what is your drought cycle?
- How much damage has occurred from flooding in your area?
- Are Lyme and other vector diseases a factor in your area?
- How close are coal plants and superfund sites to you?
Don't you just love the scare tactics? All designed to part you from your money.
WHAT WE GIVE-BACK – More than 50% of our net profits are committed to funding new research and development on climate change.
More likely designed to part you from your money in better ways by scaring you.
I'll ask the question yet again for those who believe climate change is caused solely by Man, based on political reports and scare tactics: are you living the carbon neutral lifestyle? Or just complaining about it and doing nothing, or playing shell games like the Goracle? Said shell game also enriches the Goracle. He buys the offsets from his own company. When you buy them, you are paying Al. But, no, he has absolutely no reason to be pushing climate change as caused by Man, right?
Meanwhile, John Hawkins has 10 questions for the Goracle and the GWACBM crowd. Read the whole thing here.
