Of course, California is at the forefront of stupid global warming scams.
Here’s what some restaurants are doing:
Some California restaurant-goers will now have the option to add a 1 percent surcharge to their bill to help farmers combat climate change.
The Restore California Renewable Restaurant program will give diners the opportunity to pay the voluntary fee as an addition to their check, CNN reported.
The money will go to a public fund run by the California Air Resources Board that helps farmers who use sustainable practices to reduce carbon emissions. The surcharges will pay farmers $10 per ton of carbon removed from the atmosphere.
Uh, that’s a total scam. These people just make up credits of already existing green resources, and “sell” them to gullible morons at a premium. Al Gore got very wealthy on this stupid scam, and it’s no surprise Californians fell for it.
The initiative, which launched Tuesday, is open to every restaurant to in the state and several have already jumped on board, according to CNN.
The fee is optional for customers to pay. Anthony Myint, one of the initiative’s organizers and a restauranteur, told CNN that if every customer at a certain restaurant paid the surcharge, the money would make the establishment carbon neutral.
“Restore California closes the economic loop between producers and consumers, creating a renewable food system,” the website states.
SO stupid. And it exposes that “combating climate change” is nothing but more taxes to be sent to the state to be devoured by liberal scam artists…
