We're not creating anything but noise. We're simply moving the carbon around a little. A bit like "wasting" water. You can't. You can just move it from one place to another.

Regarding carbon offset, does it take into account the affects of when one must fart? Does the carbon offset language make any distinctions and thus different rules regarding the type of fart produced? For example, a loud fart versus a silent one versus one in which some slight liquid residue is excreted during the flatulence event? These are important topics which must be addressed by those seeking to provide us with a much greener more eco-friendly environment.

Dude.... TMI. The term "shart" would have been more than sufficient to make your point.

No, you mail it to his fuel efficient G-II.
