Al Gore and the Maple Tree.
Hey, you’re Al Gore, aren’t you?
Why, yes I am.
So, you believe that carbon dioxide is a pollutant?
Absolutely. No doubt about it. There is a scientific consensus on that point, you know.
Dude, I need carbon dioxide to stay alive!
Ha! Obviously, you’re a denier and a right-wing nutcase.
Obviously, you’re a moron.
Wait. You don’t understand. When people do things that create carbon dioxide …
You mean, like, exhale?
You really are a Flat-Earther. Listen to me. When people do things that create carbon dioxide, they can buy carbon credits from one of my companies. I then keep most of the money and use a bit of it to hire undocumented workers to plant more trees.
Yeah, but all those new trees need carbon dioxide in order to stay alive.
Not a problem. I have an unlimited supply of carbon credits.
OK, I get it now.
Good.
You’re a moron and a con artist.
I still have no idea WTF a carbon credit even is.

It’s a mythical object, much like a unicorn, on which Mr. Gore nevertheless cornered the market some years ago and for which he subsequently proceeded to create an artificial market. Nice gig if you can get it.
