“These carbon credits, these offsets are nothing more than the precursor to an imposed tax on energy usage, maybe an international tax. You are being set up.”<\/p>\n

“You know, we ought to go into business here at EIB selling ‘carbon offsets.\u2019 We could become gazillionaires! ‘Just trust us: we will take steps here at the EIB Network to reduce carbon footprints so that yours can remain as large as you want it to be.

“There is no shred of proof that Al Gore is carbon neutral. In fact, I would submit to you that being carbon neutral is impossible as long as you are breathing.”<\/p>\n

“I want to support these guys in the administration, but two weeks ago they tell us that talking to Iran is never going to happen, that they won\u2019t break bread with them and have tea and play the State Farm ‘good neighbor\u2019 jingle. And then, lo and behold, they do it.”<\/p>\n

“‘Artificial lighting confuses the sea turtle hatchlings, causing them to veer off course from their intended destination.\u2019 You know, I\u2019ve put myself in the same position as a hatchling, and from where you lay down on the beach you can\u2019t see the lights. By the way, I have nothing against sea turtles.”<\/p>\n

“Now, remember: I have never said I\u2019m the smartest person in media. You people just think it.”<\/p>\n
