It’s getting hotter

SAVING the planet is now a matter of a few clicks—at least on a small scale. On September 22nd the UN’s Climate Change Secretariat launched Climate Neutral Now, a website that estimates an individual’s carbon footprint based on whereabouts, recycling habits, energy use and so on. Offsetting any resulting guilt is easy: the site takes donations to fund clean development projects. Your correspondent paid $24 to a facility capturing methane from pig dung to cover the carbon-dioxide emissions she had caused during the past year

And yet I just read an article this morning saying we’re headed to an Ice Age.

I heard Wisconsin will be getting measurable snow this weekend. Wonder if they could ship some out to NV. Hmm. Anyway, the new u.n. site should be an awesome guide on how to increase my footprint to help prevent the cool down that may or may not be coming. Or the warm up that may or may not be coming. It kinda like the erf has done this at least a couple of times. Too bad there weren’t any news crews around to cover it.

For anyone that has to use a rescue inhaler you know how much they cost now that govt regulated the propellant. Who gets the added $50 per prescription? Someone in govt? Did it save the Ozone layer? I am sure it hasn’t as it was never in danger. Rich people and those whose insurance pays for it don’t care, but us small people that buy our own know the price is at least that much higher than for the same thing a few years ago. It will be the same with carbon tax, cap and trade or whatever else the tyrants put upon us. The peons suffer with higher prices, the rich and govt workers will not notice, and the climate goes on as before. One other thing will not change, the BIG SHOTS with government ties, fire up their stogies as they rake in billions from the sale of NOTHING.

I pledge to keep my carbon footprint below the average of Steven Spielberg, Elton John, Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and the Obama Family.

Now, wasn’t that easy?

Any Globull Warming that may be occurring is minor compared to the epidemic of stupid as illustrated in this article.

There are two types of global warming enthusiasts: con artists who profit from the tremendous amount of money involved and dupes. Their BS is repeated endlessly and is considered fashionable. That’s what attracts the dupes. If they really wanted to reduce the “carbon footprint” they would go on a campaign to stop buying Chinese products. China is a big polluter and our compulsive shoppers buy their do-dads to fill up our land fills.

Your correspondent paid $24 to a facility capturing methane from pig dung to cover the carbon-dioxide emissions she had caused during the past year.

I hope they at least got a “I’m an idiot” bumper sticker.

DON'T YOU WORRY! There's plenty of time for you to do penitence! First, send in all your retirement fund, except if you are white or heterosexual, then send in twice the amount in your retirement fund. Declare that you are an avowed Communist, and pledge your support for an Obama third and fourth and fifth term. Call anyone who criticizes you a racist and a homophobe, and if they think to own guns, meet them with quick mob violence (to prove to them that they were paranoid to worry about angry mobs).

If anyone asks you how Manmade Global Warming caused an ice age, simply take them through this thought experiment: "Take an ice cube tray. Fill it with water. Put it in the oven and set the temperature to 350. In one hour, you will have ice cubes! That is how Global Warming caused the Ice Age!"
