This type of innovation, however, will never be applied to carbon emissions if we continue to decline any and all efforts to address the issue.

Translation: buying "green credits" to fund wind power while increasing overall consumption so that net effect is no reduction in coal burning WHILE making a movie about global warming is hypocricy in the extreme. the only thing dumber is buying a ticket to the movie.
