Back during the "Inconvenient Truth" timeframe I remember reading that corporations with unacceptably large carbon footprints could legally offset them by paying into some fund of some sort, so.as always follow the money.

The IPCC's approach to creating the AGW meme was to ask for only papers and studies that would confirm that humans were causing the warming and refused to accept papers that countered the supposition .The real problem was that the scientist that contributed to that cause had to defend their work that was actually indefensible .When the peer papers were put through the ringer the flaws were found as well as the cable of people behind the scene that was exposed in the leaked e-mails .Surprisingly ,to date no one has been charged or fired but the story is still working it's way through the system and may yet produce some justice .After the Banking crap and the lack of justice there I wont be holding my breath though . a reply to: MissSmartypants
Something from nothing?
You will not find a credible particle physicist who claims that the singularity arose from nothing.

Woodcarver is correct. The singularity could not have arisen from nothing. The equation is universal, constant, and unalterably true anywhere in the universe. From absolute nothing, you get absolutely nothing. Clearly, the universe is a 'something', so its origins cannot come from nothing, but from something. That is to say, as a clarification, the universe's origin is that of an energy interaction. Identifying what that interaction was is the goal of cosmologists.
The Universal constant did not exist before the Big Bang. The universal constant came into existance at the same time as the Big Bang took Place and formed Our universe.
Apologies if I somehow confused you.

My dear fellow, I am not referring to Einstein's constant of light speed. I am referring to the principle that...Apologies if I somehow confused you.

But the absolute nothingness is something.
Nothing is everything.
Emptiness is form.
Form is emptiness.

It cannot be explained.
The perceiver and perceived are one.
Can you see the seer?
If you seek to see what is seeing right here and right now you might realize the emptiness. The individual (the illusionary separate one) is running from that emptiness.
Something from nothing? Really?
So did something arise from nothing and eventually lead to us?
absolute nothingness is something.
Instead of trying to convince others of your view point try seeing things from other's perspectives
On all those PBS shows that I watch about quantum physics, they say that space did not exist before the big bang. Space/time began along with everything else.

But the absolute nothingness is something. It justs that it have not produced matter yet.
If you dont have any matter and particles you have a absolute neutral infinite space of nothingness. That Space is still something, and it exists. Before the Big Bang there were no particles or matter. All matter and particles were created during the expanding singularity.
It is not easy to provide proof of a absolute empty space. But that has a logical answer. Our universe i very big and we cant see past it.
