How Many Idiots Does It Take to Turn Off A Lightbulb?
by James Hudnall…apparently, as many ideologues you can get to follow the pied piper march of the latest global warming scam: Earth Hour.
A couple of the usual entertainment suspects made some gross-out videos to get us to go along with the program. See, according to them if you switch off your lights for an hour, you are voting for the planet. But what you’re really doing is raising your hand when they say: “Which suckers believe in this crap?”
They want you to get used to the idea of turning off your lights when they tell you because, believe me, they will be telling you to in the future. And it won’t be a suggestion. The excuse will be climate change, of course.
Yet, increasingly, fewer people are accepting the climate change mantra. One reason is the weather has not warmed appreciably. In fact, if anything we had a much colder winter this year. NASA climate pimp James Hansen had to backtrack on some of his claims on more than one occasion.
Most of the global warming arguments are based on logical fallacies. The scientist proponents based most of it on climate computer models which simply can’t work because they don’t have all the data they need. Climate is an area we are still very much in the dark about. And the simple fact is, the study of the earth’s climate requires the study of epochs — 5,000 years at the very minimum. Most global warming scientists are basing it largely on a few hundred years of data, which amounts to the blink of an eye in earth history.
This is because the farther back you go, the more embarrassing it gets for them. We had something called the Medieval Warm Period which was warmer than today, and was actually a period where Europe flourished. And all without that nasty man-made CO2 problem.
The greenhouse gases claim is easily disproved by Al Gore’s movie. He shows a chart where temperatures go up alongside CO2 increases. Except the CO2 goes up after the temperatures increase. Something he misleads the audience about, but you can see that it does when you look at his chart. After all, most CO2 is created by life. From microscopic algae to large mammals. When temps get warmer, animals and plants thrive. They come out and breed and so on.
The bottom line with global warming is that it’s become a huge business. Bureaucrats see it as another excuse to tax people. So-called greens see it as a market for selling their products, technologies and government schemes. Scientists see it as an ATM card for government grants. The reason so many scientists “believe” in global warming is that they made it their livelihood.
Here’s the problem. The anthropogenic global warming (AGW) fanatics want everyone to cut back on energy. They want to force people to use their cars less. They want us to ration our use of electricity. Right now they’re suggesting we do this. Just like they suggested once upon a time that you don’t smoke indoors. But we saw where that went.
It always starts off with some cute stunt. Earth Hour is based on the egotistical belief that human beings are changing the climate by “being too greedy.” This is based on no evidence, just a lot of assurances from the same people who also think they know how to fix the economy. The same people who think higher taxes means more jobs. The same people who like to call others greedy while they fly around in corporate jets, commuting between mansions.
We’re supposed to believe them because they are the “smart ones.” This is how they see themselves, they like to claim they are pro-science. Except they refuse to believe the sun causes climate change and that CO2 is a “dangerous pollutant.”
What the AGW proponents are demanding will make this economy look like the gilded age. They want our economy to make significant cuts in energy use. 50% in some cases. Imagine that. They want us to use 50% less energy? Do you have any idea what that would do to us? And how do you think they’ll manage that?
Guess.
Meanwhile they want, and are getting, thanks to President Obama, billions of dollars in investment in their pet projects and technologies. Many of which are vastly inferior to oil, coal and nuclear. Many of which won’t work or are just scams.
And just to show how insincere the President is about cutting our carbon use, he’s essentially killed the nuclear power industry by shutting down Yucca Mountain. Nuclear energy is the cleanest source we have. No carbon is emitted by nuclear plants and they can provide our energy needs. But the Democrats hate nuclear power and have tried to kill it since Jimmy Carter.
The government has actually turned down a lot of MPG improving technologies since the 1970s because the states and the feds make major revenues on gasoline taxes. Increasing gas mileage would cut down on gas use. Do you really think they couldn’t come up with better MPG by now? They’ve had cars in Europe getting 50 MPG for decades.
And the real kicker is, greens keep blocking wind and solar farms for the same reasons they try to block every other kind of power plant. They seem to be against progress and industry. They don’t want our economy to keep growing. Some of these people want us all to go back to living in caves (except for themselves, of course).
Right now it’s all a big guilt trip. But don’t worry, soon they’ll stop asking and make you go a day without power. They already do that in a lot of poor countries. Even Russia. Of course, it’s largely because their economy and infrastructure are bad. But at the rate our geniuses are going, we’ll catch up to them.

Am I the only one planning on doing the opposite during this time? I'm going to idle both my cars, blaze every light in my hosue, blare every radio, run all my appliances on high, crank up my lawnmower and chainsaw, and hell, even fire off a few mags of 7.62 into the air. I may even start a fire to burn all my plastics and styrofoam.
I gotta do my part.
Just like I plan on eating a big, juicy very, very rare steak on the Great American Meat Out. You know, to celebrate.
The whole anthropogenic global warming crap was a scam from the beginning, and even some of the zombie scientists are beginning to admit it. It's just another way for lefties to tell us how we should live, all the while ignoring their own advice. As our gurus, they are exempt from the rules. The Hollywood crowd joined up early because they thought they could cover up their minimal intelligence by spouting pseudo-science to their loving fans. It also assuages their guilt-feelings for being paid ridiculous sums of money for doing something that doesn't really require much intelligence or knowledge. They know how to read a script, and Al Gore's script was another way of getting their mugs on TV and movie screens while at the same time compensating for their useless lives by making them feel good about themselves. The hypocrisy of their acts versus their deeds is beneath contempt. Instead of turning our lights off, someone needs to punch their lights out.
This is not quite true:
"After all, most CO2 is created by life. From microscopic algae to large mammals. When temps get warmer, animals and plants thrive. They come out and breed and so on."
While yes, plants and animals thrive in warmer environments that is not the major factor in the increase in CO2. Most of it comes from the oceans. Think of the ocean as a giant can of soda, if you warm up the soda it goes flat (less gas inside). So when we are in a time of particularly increased sunspots or whatever it is about the sun that increases the temperature, more CO2 is released because the ocean is just that tiniest bit warmer.
Remember though, the two most effective greenhouse gases are methane and H20, so all the water and cows contribute the most.
You have to be a mental neanderthal to believe in anthropogenic global warming. CO2 doesn’t amount to .5% of the atmosphere and these global warming crusaders are ready to strap on their Birkenstocks and rainbow capes and go battle mother nature to the cost of trillions. Algore might as well be Don Quixote. I’m rooting for mother nature to take these clowns out.
I think the religion of global warming is finally breaking. Real scientists are finally stepping foward and saying that the junk science they've been relying on is completely wrong. The weather is doing everything their predictions said it wouldn't. The facts behind things like Al Gore's "hockey stick" graph have been exposed. The global warming community's reliance on false or incomplete data is coming to light. And even some of the most ardent believers are starting to wonder whether or not we might not be better off trying to fix the effects of warming/freezing than trying to stop it.
But nothing stops Al Gore because he's a robot. An economy killing Terminator.
Larry David actually did something funny when he broke up with his activist wife Laurie David. He turned on every light in his house and kept them on for a long time. Even guys like him are fed up with this nonsense.
James,
How can I raise my carbon footprint? I have started leaving my lights on all the time, I turned my screensaver back on when I heard that take more energy, and I let my car heat up a little extra long. But after that, I'm short of ideas. How about a little help on this one?
I refuse to drive anything with less than 6 cylinders. I long for the days of muscle cars and their 13 miles per gallon efficiency. There's nothing like driving a car made out of metal while everyone else drives their new cars, which are just Tupperware on wheels.
Encourage President Hopey to use AF1 as much as possible.
But he must be right. After all, he has an academy award and a Nobel Prize. I also think he's been sleeping with Rigoberto Menchu. And as for the "hockey stick" graph, Al Gore is bound to stick with it, since he's a hockey puck.
By the way, CO2 is a trace gas.
Here's a swift kick to the nutless region of the global warming eunuchs……
Man's contribution to "global warming": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NBO2IstMi2A
Greenhouse gas is a theory not a fact. But aside from that water vapor is vastly larger than any other component in GG. And the AGW people ignore it because it isn't caused by man. Even cows can't account for the amount in the atmosphere. Most of the planet is covered with water. It evaporates. Condenses, rains,.
There are a lot of factors involved, the bottom line is they can't even tell you the volume of the atmosphere accurately or what the weather will be like next month let alone next week with any accuracy. So their predictions are laughable.
It's also hilarious how they use AGW as an excuse to try to ban whatever they don't like. Like the recent meme that cows are a a bigger source of greenhouse gas than man so we have to ban meat eating. Yeah, right PETA. Eat this!
You need to pay some kid to mow your lawn every day. Install a coal furnace, a big one. Turn you garage into a machine shop, run 220 to everything. How many kitchen appliances do you have? Double that number. Just a few ideas. : )
In the summer you can turn on the A/C and open all the windows, and then tell the eco-freaks that you're trying to combat global warming by cooling the temperature outside.
Mr. Hudnall, I think you misspoke. AGW is a theory, but it is a fact that there do exist greenhouse gases. Increasing CO2, methane, and water vapor levels in the atmosphere would—all else being equal—increase the temperature.
But for me to be willing to sacrifice one dime of our country's prosperity, the global warming fanatics would have to convince me of each of the following:
- that the globe is actually warming
- that warming is occurring to a greater extent than it has in the past
- that human actions can affect the extent of the temperature rise
- that a rise in temperature is harmful
I'd like to recommend a book called "Cool It," by Bjorn Lonberg. It assumes the first three assertions are true—which I don't—and goes on to make a convincing case for doing nothing about AGW anyway, because any net effect of AGW would be beneficial. As you rightly point out, the Medieval Warm Period was actually pretty groovy.
Shamu is a killer whale, Scam-u is Algore's codename/password for his off shore bank accounts. This global warming scam will make wealthy liberal politicians rich beyond their wildest dreams, while burdening the rank and file, you and I, with carbon taxes and an even more oppressive government. The next president will have to go to work day one reversing the crazy policies of this failure in the making, Obama.
The Greenies in Europe can do whatever they want in Europe and U.S. and it won't make a bit of difference. The Chinese and Indians are going to increase their demand for energy, not reduce it. And they aren't going to kowtow to the Green agenda so some Greenie in Santa Monica can sleep guilt free in his beach house.
after i stopped laughing when i first saw the commercial, i immediately started plotting to counteract any dim bulb participating in this nonsense. gonna run my empty washer on the hot-as-hell setting while putting nothing in the dryer as it heats up the garage. i'm gonna run the a/c on the icicle setting while making cookies with real butter and chocolate chips all day in my gas oven. i'm gonna turn on all the lights, run the fans and keep all my chargers plugged in. i'm gonna smoke ribs in the backyard wood burning pit all day long. i'm gonna drive the 1/2 mile to the convenient stuff store and then idle in the parking lot while digging in the console for quarters to buy some aerosol propelled hairspray. as the day comes to an end, i'm gonna take a hot shower until the water runs cold (and i have a big water heater). finally, i'm gonna sleep the sleep of angels knowing i put in a productive day's work.
Great idea! We must help maintain the true balance of the environment. Count me in.
I'm not saying it isn't true. Only that it is a theory. Most of what people believe is a fact is actually a theory.
But that's not really important to the topic of discussion other than the people touting AGW make a lot of assumptions based on little or not evidence and claim something is an absolute truth when it's anything but.
I'm very familiar with Lomborg. He was one of the first scientists (he's a statistician) to show with damning evidence that the greens own statistics down support their claims in his book "The Skeptical Environmentalist". That book started a real firestorm. Even though he believes in AGW, at least he sees the insanity of the AGW arguments being presented.
Climate change is an inescapable reality of the earth. When it inevitably changes we merely have to adapt like we have for thousands of years. Not turn off all the lights.
To paraphrase Voltaire, those that can get you to believe absurdities can get you to commit atrocities.
The atrocities are coming
ROFL that's priceless.
Global warming is just another socialist ruse.
I agree with Hans, the Chinese are not going to kowtow to the Greenies.
Which is why I am moving back to China this summer…they are less socialist than the US now!
Amen to the Boy Scouts approach. Pack it in pack it out. Minimum impact.
How 'bout a polar bear steak? There seems to be too many of them roaming around the north pole now that the north pole is melting.
According to the great climatologist Noah Wylie, north pole ice sheets are melting so fast that polar bears are dying because….well, because they just are and you have to send money to WWF (polar bears in spandex?) so they can be saved. We have to send money now so they can live. Have you seen the sad faces on the polar bears? They look so forlorn. They have to be saved! Act now or it will be too late!
10-4 brother my sentiments exactly turn on all lights turn, the furnace on 80, open windows, waste as much energy as possible, screw these environmental basdards.
From what I read, we are in a decreased period of sun spots.
After re-reading your message I should clarify what I meant: the green house gas theory states that certain gasses in the atmosphere trap heat from the sun. I was not saying the gasses themselves are a theory. The man made gasses theory is an off shoot of the other one. And it's been debunked by other scientists with their own theories: http://www.physorg.com/news11710.html
Or perhaps the Great American Elk hunt in Alaska and get to the fossil fuels.
Winter-Spring-Summer, and Fall
Algore has to drop slides from his power point presentation faster than Obama has to drop appointees.
How many a credited colleges have asked Algore to remove their research data from his web site because he misrepresents their data?
At what point do all these earth zealots just say, "hey we blew it on this one you caught us were done beating this drum. But boy do we have another sinister catastrophe we'd like to tax you with."
As far as I'm concerned scientist are the ones with the most egg on their face. To many of them backed the "snake oil salesman." I'm not sure how long it will be before I start to trust these guys again. I expect politicians to lie to me, I expect the media to lie to me, I expect the educational system to lie to me, but damn it scientist were supposed to be above that. If I knew Latin I'd come up with a really cool Latin phrase for self perpetuating scam artists!
Just wait until these fools hit the country with Cap-N-Trade, even the leftist nit wits will see their power bills go up, that’ll be fun. The flip side is they will send us that bill as well, it’ll be for the children don’t you know, Barf!.
"We’re supposed to believe them because they are the “smart ones.” This is how they see themselves, they like to claim they are pro-science." – Exactly, James. It goes like this. Problem: Anthropogenic Global Warming, Solution: Scientific Planning in Scale – Economy & Society. Sounds very eerily like a few other ideologies to me. What were some ideologies based on perpetuating the same propaganda for the same solution? Hmmmm. Let's see…. ahhhh; Marxism (Problem: Historical Materialism, Solution: Scientific Planning of Scale – Economy & Society), and Nazism (Problem: Distorted Eugenics, Solution: Scientific Planning of Scale – Economy & Society). ——————— History rhymes. In 2009 it's the same ol' fascist maneuvers, gifted in a large box of control, wrapped in a pretty Happy-Face wrapper.
The biggest perpetrators of this phoney green movement are also the ones with the largest "carbon footprints." Not surprisingly, they're also the ones who'll profit from it. It's no better than a ponzi scheme and makes Bernie Madoff look like a Boy Scout.

Which is why the Kyoto Accords that Clinton and his gang tried to shove down our throats contains exceptions for China, India and most of the Asian continent (except Japan and Taiwan). That way, they wouldn't be forced to cheat. This proposed treaty was so absolutely ludicrous that even Democrats could see through it. What was the final vote against it in the Senate? 98 to nothing if I remember correctly. Meanwhile, the feel-good, ain't we green European nations foolish enough to ratify the treaty have all failed to reach their goals, some by immense margins. Orwellian logic: Since we can't possibly reach the original Kyoto goals without going bankrupt and moving into caves, let's revise the standards so that they are even tougher. As before, we'll fail miserably, China and India will continue to pollute, the problem will take care of itself anyway, and we'll all feel better about ourselves.
Science became corrupted when they started doing government grants for science. It sounds like a good idea. But all welfare is bad. Once politicians got to decide who got grant money, guess what happened? Science got politicized.
Whenever you have some huge wad of cash in the hand of corrupt politicians, some people will lie, cheat and steal to get the money they need to get by. Scientists or not. And a lot of people built up a huge industry around this scheme. A lot of so called scientists sold their soul for government hand outs. And that is why so many of them are so adamant that it's "real". They know what will happen when they are found out.
See: Bernie Madoff
The immortal truth is that I prefer charcoal to gas. I've got one of those huge webers, pop a half bag of Kingsford, light it up and I swear I can add 3 degrees to the surrounding area. I plan on palm trees and will add food coloring to the bird bath to give me that turqoise sea feel. I fully embrace global warming and look forward to the endless tan. How do like them apples Al?
All great ideas, thank you. I will implement them immediately. Perhaps I'll get a coal fired lawn mower as well.
I would like to see all the greenies here in the states pack up and move themselves over to China or India and spend the rest of their "environmental crusade" over there. Greenies are preaching to the wrong countries.
I would also like to see them leave developing nations alone. For some odd reason they think they can build ecological utopias in countries that are struggling to move out of the stone age. That has got to be one of the cruelest things you could possibly expect a developing nation to do.
"I know electricity seems like a novel thing to have but let us tell you of its dangers. You can be the city upon the hill that demonstrates just how easy it is. Of course your hospital will have to decide between keeping the refrigerator, with all the medicine in it, going and being able to use any of the equipment in the hospital.
Don't worry about your family members suffering and possibly dieing you'll be doing a great service to the environment."
I have to admit I love your 100 most annoying things. They make me laugh uncontrollably and shake with rage all at the same time. It does make me smile though to know that there are still some people out there that find some practices, ideas and things in general annoying. Keep up the good work.
DFTT but I do like them apples. Charcoal grills are far superior to gas grills. I look forward to one day being able to tan, god willing my Irish skin will darken with wonderful UV and not burn.
That video has the impact that numbers on paper do not. Thanks for linking that I've seen a lot of the anti AGW videos but that one seems to drive home the point to a "T".
69,456,897
Really why should we leave this up to the public at large. The government should just shut down electricity for an hour or two or maybe even a day. Then we can all go look at the latest data on the environment and see how much we have changed it. My guess is that it would be completely unnoticeable. Well depending on which environmental scientist was interpreting the data.
LOL!
And you're all acting like total douchbags
hope it works out for you guys!!! I'm going to eat meat on Good Friday in front of a church! Screw those Christian bastards!!
===If all the AGW folks just stopped breathing that would go a long way in helping decrease C02 emissions.===
I try to motivate them to those ends as much as possible. If they would like assistance I’d happily lend a hand or two, free of charge.
===="We’re supposed to believe them because they are the “smart ones.” =====
Just remember, these people eat tofu with tree bark, take shots of wheat grass [it’s probably lawn grass] and have coffee enemas. When they call themselves smart, and they usually do, just burst out laughing.
The late great George Carlin said it best:
"The planet is fine. The people are f***ed."

It might have more effect if you go and eat meat in front of a PETA'phile (coined the phrase) headquarters. Please use the bunny ears every time you use this phrase from here on out.
I'm pretty sure that those Catholics would merely turn the other cheek.
But your cheeks could use a little freshening down in your nether region.
It's really sad that you couldn't even make a good argument against it. How about a little save the earth turn your lights off. Better yet there are children dieing because you have your lights on….
Something well anything would have been better than your retort.

Man, if you are going to troll, at least spell "douchebag" correctly.
Whenever I see one of these idiotic plots to have people purposely sit in the dark, I have to wonder what people from the past would have to say about us refusing to use the life-improving technology that civilization had striven so hard to produce.
Your quote from Voltaire seems about right.
Yep. Decreased solar activity = colder weather. Gosh, what a concept!
I agree on the charcol. Though to be honest, a friend of mine sold me on Traeger grills. They use wood pellets. http://www.traegerindustries.com/
They really do an amazing job, and they are also smokers. Some of the Best BBQ I ever had was on one of those grills. And they probably do a lot of CO2. Huzzah!
They are cruel. They also want to deny them food by trying to abolish GM crops which are the best chance for certain crops to survive in tough climates and environments. They are anti-human, as their own propaganda admits.
I know! Every time I see a Smart Car or a Prius I want to smash it with my 8 cylinder SUV.
ow…..I'm going to use Kevin's tact….learn some Grammer dude! A comma here and there prevents your post from sound like its come from the mouth of a blubbering fool
I just lit the charcoal bbq – sniff that warmingheads – the stench of bbq chicken now envelops the neighborhood. Uh oh The carbon nazis are hot on my heels – maybe one day!
Again, i make my assertion that the "hall monitors" from junior high school have now come to power. AllI ever needed to know about being a good steward of the environment, I learned in the Boy Scouts. And I would bet that any single troop of scouts are more genuinely able to take care of the environment than the first 10,000 members of Greenpeace or any of the other enviro-Nazi organizations. hypocrites like Al Gore, phony scientists like James Hansen, sappy intellectuals like Rachel Carson and this whole tree-hugging army of "we-know-best" enviro-whack jobs deserve all the scorn that can be poured on them for both the death and misery they have caused and that which they want to. At every turn their cries of doom are exposed as the rantings of an inmate at Arkum Asylum, yet there remains a large cadre of "useful idiots" that show up on Earth Day, turn off their lights, and stop eating meat. If anyone needs to see this lunacy and enviro-totalitarianism at work, tune into "Living with Ed". A has-been actor puts his wife thru enviro-hell, while spending thousands to conserve what amounts to pennies worth of energy. This guy has no clue about what a mega-fool he looks like. And what really makes me laugh is how his wife puts up with his nonsense. truly astounding.
Thanks, U2Dave!
If all the AGW folks just stopped breathing that would go a long way in helping decrease C02 emissions.
Aside from what I learned from my Dad and Grandpas, only the Boy Scouts have taught me more about honor, duty, honesty, care for the world around you, and respect for others. Plus I can tie a pretty good bowline. I never took the opportunity to serve in the military. Leave a place better than you found it. to my daughters: I love you Ellen & Lucy.
If someone doesn't have less on, they have…..
But H20 is not a gas, it is a liquid (at temp) formed by 2 gasses.
The AGW crowd trots out one computer model after another, and makes the claim that the end of the world is upon us. The old term GIGO (Garbage In Garbage Out) applies here. There are too many variables, some large some small, which cannot be accounted for to predict an outcome with any accuracy.
To put it simply: We have the most sophisticated equipment and the most highly trained meteorologists in the world, yet when you look at your nightly forecast they usually say a 30% chance of showers. If we can't predict what tomorrow's weather will be like with that little confidence, how can Gorebots accurately predict 10, 15 100 years what the weather will be like?
Myrmidons lack the ability for thought or compassion. But, this would be the best description of a Democrat constituent, if you listen carefully you can hear the hive groaning, “yes master, yes master…
The models are a joke. None of them can "predict the past"–meaning, if you enter the date from, say, the sixties, none of them accurately "predict" the eighties. So it's pretty obvious they can't predict the future. The "scientists" who design these models regularly refuse to release their code. This is such a gross perversion of real science it's amazing anyone takes them seriously at all. As you say, follow the money. Aping the AGW line has been a reliable way to pay the bills and keep to that tenure track.
They should all be embarrassed and history will not treat them kindly.
Czech President Vaclav Klaus says many global warming advocates are more interested in money than they are in climate change. “These people are interested neither in temperature, CO2, competing scientific hypotheses and their testing, nor in freedom or markets. They are interested in their businesses and their profits made with the help of politicians.” …and I think the most telling part of his speech was the following; “The believers in this hypothesis are not able to explain why the global temperature increased from 1918 to 1940, decreased from 1940 to 1976, increased from 1976 to 1998 and decreased from 1998 to the present, irrespective of the fact that people have been adding increasing amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere.”
And he wonders why Algore won't debate the subject
G.
Nick, we are kindred spirits. My 93 Dodge Cummins dually is named The Global Warmer. In the summer, I find old Subarus and Volvos (local habitat of enviro-hippie wannabes) that are plastered on the back with eco bumper stickers. If I nail the throttle at an intersection I can fill the car's interior with a nice cloud of black exhaust.
Our county has recycle cans next to the garbage dumpsters. Often when I'm dumping everything into the garbage dumpsters, one of the greenies will ask why I'm not recycling. I usually reply that I don't give a shiite and they are welcome to dive in after I leave and sort it themselves.
I'm considering making bumper stickers that say:
I'm wasting every precious drop you're conserving. OR
Can we please destroy our fragile eco-system faster? I have other things to do today.
The sucky thing is like any trend, global warming hysteria picked up some "cool cred" from Hollywood idiots, then, like any stupid trend, it migrated mainstream, which is why politicians are now debating cow farts with a straight face and why I have to hear car commercials that say, as fact, "…carbon dioxide, a major pollutant."
This poison is already in the global groupthink bloodstream.
The Global Warmingists know very well that the whole thing is a lie and a scam. It's all about control and how better can you control vast numbers of people than by reducing their ability to go anywhere and by taking away their livelihood or by ruducing their earnings to pauper standards thereby forcing them to live a hand to mouth life. So far, everything BO is doing is right on schedule. Even ahead of shedule.
May as well tax my farts
I think it's a great idea. Shut down your furnace, park your car, turn off all your appliances, and sit in the dark for an hour.
And realize, that is the future we can look forward to, if all the Climate Alarmists get their way.
LOL, you're killin me. . .I've been doing the "turn on the A/C with all the windows open" for years – Spring, Summer and Fall. . .who knew I helping our cause. You all bring me such joy!
How many conservatives does it take to turn off a lightbulb?
TAX CUTS!
lololololololololololololol
Hollywood liberals just love a cause where they don’t actually have to sacrifice, and prefer to help con others into sacrificing.
For those who recall, remember ‘The Hunger Project’? A con job if there ever was one, with Hollywood celebs just going gaga over stopping world hunger by just force of will? Well it was more than that, but I’d have to go through the whole EST scam history and there isn’t that much space in the comments section. Perhaps some of our distinquished contributors who lived through the EST and Hunger Project years can give us their experiences and observations of how Hollywood got conned the same way they are getting conned with AGW.
You're going to use some "Grammer"?
Let's parse through your subliterate babble and check your "Grammer", dude.
The word you wanted was "tack", not "tact"- refers to a sailing term. Not a grammatical error, but shows that you are stupid.
"Grammer"- one doesn't capitalize a non proper noun in the middle of a sentence, dude. The word is also correctly spelled "grammar".
"its"- you meant this in the sense of "it has", ergo you needed an apostrophe, like so: "it's"
Additionally, you forgot to put a period on the end of your sentence.
Five errors in two sentences. You might want to "learn some grammer dude!", as you most definitely sound like a drooling, subliterate jackass.
Don't forget to turn on the oven. Wouldn't hurt to break out the Christmas lights either. It is a celebration, after all, and what's a celebration without cake and Christmas lights?
Good call. I am a college student at a University whose main color is blue. Like other universities nation wide, it is mainly controlled by liberals trying to go green. I want to make a shirt that says "Screw Green, I'm Going blue." Your "Can we please destroy our fragile eco-system faster? I have other things to do today" would go great on the back.
Crazy liberal nut jobs are really destroying the environment.
Dang, I sure do miss my old '83 Trans Am!
I agree with cjenk and U2Dave. What harm would it cause to just stfu, try to pry open your minds a little bit and at least don't completely flaunt humans' already 99% irreversible effect on Earth..? It's a little disgusting to me that there are people like you who want to be stubborn just to be stubborn…Grow up and uh… maybe learn to spell your blatant and unnecessary insults a little more accurately.
<<At what point do all these earth zealots just say, "hey we blew it on this one you caught us were done beating this drum. But boy do we have another sinister catastrophe we'd like to tax you with." >>
That would be the upcomming Zombie Apocalypse. Of course they'll shoot theirselves in the foot with that one cause we gun-toting redneck Republicans will be the only ones able to defend ourselves against the armies of the undead that will be taking over the world in 2012…
*smacks self in face to dislodge his liberal mental moment* Ok sane now.
You're disgusting =]
Aren't we just a bit egotistical in thinking that we have ANY impact at all on a planet that we are merely a microcosm of to begin with. I'm surprised you've found a domicile with doors wide enough to fit that massive ego through.
Being a cyclist, I'm all about leaving a place a little nicer than I found it when I'm out on a rally or a ride somewhere, and surely won't leave it for the worse by leaving more trash or debris. But I no means think I'm significant enough to have altered a planet that has existed long before I arrived and will, i'm pretty certain, be here long after I'm gone. But I'll be damned if some government agency is going to tell me how cold, hot, bright, fuel efficient my life has to be just because some granola nut job thinks he/she can push their BS science on everyone. You want to drive an electric car??? Knock yourself out…I CHOOSE not to. Last I checked…I have that right.
Stop Global Whining…that's something that actually might make a difference.
All we need to do is mix "Beano" with all the food we give cattle. More Beano in their feed and wahla…no more methane. Problem solved…… (Its all the cows fault !!!!)
However, it was nice that he admitted that Greenism is a religion just like the Catholics are.
Hoooraaaahhh! You and I disagreed about Watchmen with you defending your position eloquently, but here you have posted a thing of pure truth I applaud. Nicely done.
Lets support the Separation of Science and the State.
Follow the libs ideas straight to a post-apocalyptic movie….
We could call them the Horsemen of the Apocalypse…
Or we could make some more post-apoc movies…
Like, fer sure!
Humans are like totally 200% responsible for stuff and things.
Microscopic particles of water—water vapor—act as a gas.
I agree. That should be a conservative cry like the lefties constant cry of "separation of church and state." Government money is a corrupting influence on everything it touches. From post-Katrina efforts to Welfare, Medicare, you name it. Tax dollars have been used to undermine and destroy society at every turn. Our money is being misused by politicians and that's got to stop.
I stand corrected!
I'm doing a bunch of what's been listed here. Turn on all my lights and appliances. Start a fire in the fireplace, start my motorcycle and Hemi Ram and let them run for an hour and bbq a nice, thick steak.
That's like so deep. . . and stuff.
Christmas lights? Hell, call up a rental company for some searchlights — like for a grand opening. You can use a whole city block's worth of juice on those puppies! AND they'll be extra-visible against a darker-than-normal sky… assuming that anyone actually DOES turn out their lights for this event.
H20 is the water molecule which comes in gas, solid (ice) or liquid (water) form.
Sooner or later they will start taxing us for breathing. Watch.
Most lefties fondly remember Eisenhower's warning about the "military-industrial complex." What they don't choose to remember is that the next thing he warned about in that speech was excessive government funding of science, for exactly the reasons we're seeing unfold in front of us right now.
