The Port Authority takes in more cash, so they feel good about themselves, and the lefty travelers buy carbon "offsets" and they feel good about themselves. It's a mutual masturbation society win-win for both sides!
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey will soon become the country's first toll agency to offer car and plane travelers a way to shell out even more of their money for no service offset carbon emissions blamed for global warming.
Later this year, travelers in and around the country's largest city will be able to offset gases emitted by their car and plane trips by voluntarily paying fees through a Web site operated on behalf of the Port Authority, the agency said on Monday.
The Port Authority operates the airports, sea ports, toll bridges and tunnels in the New York/New Jersey area.
Travel offsets allow Lefties and other idiots people who feel guilty about their contribution to global warming to feel so good about themselves - and so superior, just like Obamalamadingdong negate their impact by paying a fee for each tonne of carbon dioxide they emit. In voluntary U.S. emissions markets, offsets go for anywhere from $4 to about $20 for a metric tonne.
