Free condom as a gift

Copenhagen summit has started. In order to reduce carbon footprints during the trip, the "green" representative racked our brains for an answer. Some early days, don't go by plane or by bike, but in Denmark. This means of transport, comes from China, India and Africa, lest be unrealistic. Therefore, there is distinguished guest guarantee money to develop clean energy or trees to erase his project, the carbon footprints.

Don't you know? It is a new way to make carbon compensation. That is to buy a box of condom to a poor women of child-bearing age, let them have fewer children than emissions!

"Accidental pregnancy in 80m people"

This is not joke. It is the ideal of the British population think-tank "population trust fund" to put the Copenhagen summit "unprecedented, radical sex" carbon compensation method.

Offsetting Carbon offset (few) refers to the people to calculate daily activities of yourself, and Carbon dioxide emissions of tonnage offset these greenhouse gases needed economic cost, then donating money special enterprise or institution, the organization and emission reduction projects.
Last week, the ideal population trust fund new carbon, encourage rich countries compensation, donation in poor countries, the birth control measures to control population growth, slow global warming.

The popular, said the summer vacation to fly in the Caribbean, or open a four-wheel drive to buy a newspaper, guilt, donate some money. Charity organization took the money to persuade, to help countries of the third world women have fewer children.

The foundation of family planning, global warming is the most effective means of unit cost. Their research suggests that, in the birth of each input on four pounds, can reduce a ton of carbon dioxide emissions. And achieve the same reduction, planting cost is £8, wind, solar and is ￡15 pounds, hybrid cars technology is 56 pounds.

In the foundation of PopOffsets website, has a striking slogan: "the man! = emissions rapid population growth is the global warming is a major factor"! On a calculator website, help you calculate how much their emissions of carbon dioxide, the action to offset the carbon dioxide you need for developing countries to donate money to how contraception. For example, flew from London to Sydney, equal and 10 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, therefore, to donate 40 pounds, or Indian women help Kenyans have fewer children, can erase their carbon footprints.

The Funds said, never forced women contraception, not sponsor abortion, but to help control 80 million people each year against "accidental pregnancy."

Distraction?

Recently, this means in Britain carbon offset not often questioned. Recently, the British provides the Travel company carbon offset flights of responsibility ", "will no longer make had announced carbon offset. Company founder gus, Francis (Francis Justin, said the carbon compensation as "people" and "magic", want to be able to jail, don't change their behavior. Want to fly on the fly, you want to do, and comfort. In fact, everyone needs reduction, compensation, it will make the reduction of "distraction.

The poor, is also the most susceptible to the effects of climate change, any form of helping the poor response to climate change, welcome the funds. However, if the rich countries under the guise of compensation in carbon emissions, it's hard to convince people in poor countries give children the choice of poverty and dreams.

No wonder, the dispute between rich and poor nations, development and reduction of copenhagan between rival, replace the Kyoto protocol a summit of a major obstacle to international conventions.

Who should have fewer children than emissions? Is the developed countries of the middle? The third world is the poor? Do you think?
