Padres acquire need for more Al Gore 'carbon offsets' with big trip to NYC

"The Padres brought about 150 extra people in their traveling party (to NYC), mostly front-office staff and invited guests, so they could visit Yankee Stadium in the storied ballpark's final season."

• From AP report by Mike Fitzpatrick, 6/17/08, "Giambi's 2 Homers help Pettitte, Yanks Beat Padres"

Alarmed at alleged man-made environmental trauma, Bud Selig hired the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) to advise MLB teams on minimizing the stress their travel does to the environment.

• The trip described here for 150 people did not need to be made. No millions of dollars to Al Gore approved carbon offset scams will make a difference to the environment. China will never participate. (sm)
