Glad to see we are environmentally responsible !
For those that cant summon the cash gods to spare money to donate, there is other ways to help.

Admin made the choice to take OCN carbon neutral and is asking for donations. That is what this thread is about.

Don't turn this in a pro/con global warming political discussion.

If you agree, donate. If not, then don't. But leave the discussion somewhere else.

I am going to be quite blunt here.. and my post will probably be deleted but I want to say it.

Why is everyone throwing there money to this...

What is your money going to benefit!?

I believe in global warming, This is undeniable, anyone who says that the earth has not warmed is a fool... What I do not believe is that humans have influenced it... It is cyclical and there is evidence of heating millions of years ago... are you telling me that there were coal power plants millions of years ago!?


What is your money benefiting.... What is your money going too and what are they going to do with it? besides taking some off the top for their own use?


If anyone wants to donate to a charity that will actually go to something that helps humanity, here is the link for the American Cancer Society donation site

I mentioned earlier that Al Gore owns the company that you pay those Carbon credits to, didn't I? So those of you who think this is just some scam started by politicians who want to manipulate the public and steal their money, you are right!!

I'm afraid to scroll up and see my earlier post deleted. I am sure this one won't last either.

Ok guys. Firstly, bashing this thread is like bashing anyone else's thread in this forum. If you don't like Intel, don't go trying to flame Intel users. That is not what this site is about.

But to answer your questions (which you could do by doing a little research):

1) Re: ownership:
Re: management: http://www.nativeenergy.com/about_us.html

Where is Al Gore?

2) Native Energy is in the business of funding projects that would not have else been funded to make our presence on this world sustainable.

3) The money/projects are audited by a third party

4) Overclock.net does contribute to cancer research in a few ways: Indirectly through folding@home and Directly through 3 contributions the site has made over the last 3 years. However, there is JUST as much skepticism in this arena too. Many argue the funds donated to cancer research are misguided.

So the lesson here, just because you don't understand and/or like something, does not give you the right to bash it here. If you don't want to contribute to a cause you personally don't believe in, don't do it!

And no jph1589, your post was not deleted from what I see.
