Tuesday, 6/24/08: "Some Doubts Upon Entering a New Carboniferous Era"

Verlyn Klinkenborg just noticed that people sure are talking a lot about "carbon footprints" nowadays! For example, on the subway, and at Wal-Mart. And that's just two examples!

He would like us to know that he does NOT believe that language alone will solve the problem, he does NOT believe in the effectiveness of carbon offsets, he is NOT a climate-change skeptic, and that there is NOTHING trivial about carbon footprints.

So what does he believe? Well, he'll get to that in another column. (Just kidding.)
