Perhaps he was just trying to take Rush’s approach of “demonstrating absurdity by being absurd”, albeit it’s a strange place to do it.
You are correct. Most of the posters to this thread are completely missing what's really going on here.
That is the way I took it, that he was poking fun at the greenies and their crazy CO2 ideas.
Here in Seattle the naked bicyclists sometimes take over the downtown streets. So they don’t pay for the streets, we have to see their naked butts and they whine about the CO2 from the commuter cars trying to get home from work.
