The Stupid - it burns

Take a look at this from Domino Sugar:
Domino Sugar is Certified Carbon Free
Sugar is a naturally sweet product from our earth, so it's natural for us to want to be good stewards of our environment. We have a head start at this, in fact, because the sugar cane plant converts sunlight to energy more efficiently than any other major crop.

As a result of this, and the various earth friendly farming techniques and energy producing efforts at our Florida facility, specially marked packages of Domino� Sugar have been certified CarbonFree� by Carbonfund.org, a non-profit organization that certifies products with carbon neutral footprints.
Talk about an Indulgence. From the Capital Research Center:
Carbonfund.org: Carbon Scheming Gone Wild
The Carbonfund.org Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that aims to reduce global warming by having government require people and industries to cut their production and use of fossil fuels (i.e. coal, oil and natural gas). Established in 2003, Carbonfund.org, claims to help individuals and organizations become �carbon neutral� by showing them how to reduce or �offset� their carbon dioxide emissions. The group claims to have worked with over 600,000 individuals and 1,800 organizations�businesses, nonprofits, and religious and academic groups�to fight climate change and be �part of the solution toward a clean energy, low carbon future.� A polar bear stranded on a tiny piece of ice greets visitors to the group�s website. The caption says, �Fight global warming today! For him � and us.�
And the core of their "business":
Say again? Lost in the public relations whirlwind is this core truth: Carbonfund.org�s mission depends on acquiring something that doesn�t exist�yet. There are no pollution �rights� for businesses, nonprofits and individuals to sell or offset.
Besides, a molecule of common Sucrose (Table Sugar) is C12H22O11 Take away the C and you are left with eleven molecules of plain water (H2O)
