Seems the left is taking a page from the PT Barnum playbook.  An eco organization wants you to "buy" a Terrapass.  Does this pass reduce pollution?  No.  Does this Pass help with Global Warming?  Nope. So what does this pass do?

Well, it gives a nice absolution to some liberal who is so concerned their Ford Explorer is going to kill some canaries.  And it gives a nice chunk of change to the group promoting the pass!  And that is all.

So run over to the web site and sign up for you Terrapass!  Go ahead and throw your filthy money away for some good old fashion warm fuzzies and a nifty sticker!  After all, we know that money is the root of all evil, and we have to protect the squirrels!

I wonder how many people actually fall for this latest Internet scam?  Probably enough to make the Nigerians very jealous!

There is a sucker born every minute!

I would err on the side of caution here. I read nothing on their site to indicate the money you give them is actually used for anything that would in any way help the environment.

Even if every penny went to that cause, their method of collecting it is a lie. Paying so you can drive a gas guzzler will not help anything.

it appears they guarantee to "offset" your emissions by forwarding the money you give them (or a percentage - gotta have overhead costs) to companies building non-polluting energy sources.

So they should ask for donations, not give out guilt-free stamps.
