In a bizarre wrap-up to the 2 p.m. EDT hour of CNN "Newsroom" Thursday, anchor T.J. Holmes confessed his "eco-sins" to the audience. Commemorating the eve of "Earth Day," Holmes admitted to his "green" faults which included driving an SUV by himself to work daily, blasting the heat in his house during winter, and using "less efficient" incandescent bulbs for lighting.
"These are my eco-sins. I'm confessing them to you because tomorrow is Earth Day," Holmes announced to the audience.
"It often goes ignored by many of us, including me. Not going to ignore it this year. Why? Well, maybe it was an awakening. Maybe I was scolded recently by an environmentalist. Maybe I'm tired of wasting my own money," he rambled, before wishing the audience a happy Earth Day.
The awkward segment grew a little more so at the end, when 3 p.m. EDT anchor Brooke Baldwin applauded Holmes for his honesty and Holmes sheepishly replied that "there's some other stuff."

Nevermind the fluff pieces like we’re nearing default as a country, Japan’s melting down, the president doesn’t have a birth certificate, Libya is turning into a quagmire, but confess your Earth Day sins. Jeez.
Six years ago, the United Nations issued a dramatic warning that the world would have to cope with 50 million climate refugees by 2010. But now that those migration flows have failed to materialize, the UN has distanced itself from the forecasts. On the contrary, populations are growing in the regions that had been identified as environmental danger zones.
Forgive me Gaia for I have sinned. I have pissed on a greenie
Forgive me Gaia for I have sinned. I have driven on low tires.
Forgive me Gaia for I have sinned. I have heated my home
He can gain absolution by reciting 100 Hail Algore’s and offering a prayer to the U.N.’s Intercontinental Panel on Climate Change.
Say five Hail Mothers Earths my son, and go in peace having the assurance that our Goddess Earth has forgiven you of your Eco-Sins.
What a strange, pagan society we live in.
Real sins,though, are absolved for Christians by the blood of our Savior.
We also use incandescent bulbs because our electricity is also solar powered via coal. Without the sun, those plants never could have grown to be turned into coal.
In the winter, we set the thermostat at 72 since the natural gas used for heat is also solar powered.
Heck, oil coal and natural gas are also renewable so, our whole family is pretty green.
Original Sin to eco-nazis is being born in the first place.

What a pathetic shell of a man that Colmes is. He has always struck me as a pathetic loser and this just proves that.
His eco-sins? What a loser! He uses the wrong light bulb? Guilty because he drives a SUV? Did he wet the bed growing up too?
What a wimp.
I hope someone lets him know that the greenie movement is now promoting that all who love the earth should start eating bugs.
Maybe the next time he is on tv he could start crying about his sin of eating meat.
Forgetting the whole argument about whether or not the CNN idiot "sinned" at all, in as much as the "green" social movement is mostly about fossil fuels and within that mostly about oil, then if your house is not heated with "fuel oil" (forgetting that even then it usually can be converted to natural gas) what affect will "blasting the heat" during winter and using "less efficient" light bulbs have on the U.S. use of fossil fuels and primarily on the use and importation of oil? Nothing, nada, nien, niente, nichts, niets, nic, ничего, τίποτα, ingenting, 没有, 何, 아무것도, etc..
The CNN reporter's largest "sin" is his ignorance.
He forget to mention his on-air time. Talk about a waste of energy!! What a tool!
‘Go to the people there who worship sticks and stones (and earth) and tell them about the God who made them.’ (somewhere in the Gospels).
When there is an empty space where God should be, folks will just fill it with ANYTHING, won’t they?
What a fag.
*Up yours owlgur*
No matter Jesus dies and resurrected for all those who chose/choose Him; the rest can shove their earth day where the flatulence emits. Then wait because there's a reckoning a comin'
OK you have repented...Say 6 Al Gore’s and 5 Hail Hillary’s and do not emit any more.
