SCIENTISTS have warned that Christmas lights are bad for the planet due to huge electricity waste and urged people to get energy efficient festive bulbs. CSIRO researchers said householders should know that each bulb turned on in the name of Christmas will increase emissions of greenhouse gases.

I think instead of hanging lights on my house I’m just going to hang some scientists instead. They are cheaper, and less scientists in the world should alleviate this global warming nonsense.

I hate LED Christmas lights. They’re too harsh and bright. I hate fluorescent lights outside of industrial or office applications. Not going to do it.

“CSIRO researchers said householders should know that each bulb turned on in the name of Christmas will increase emissions of greenhouse gases.”

I am very PROUD that on one of my Christmas trees alone I have increased greenhouse gases by at least 1000 bulbs. That's not counting my other tree and exterior lights.

I hope these leftist scientists choke on greenhouse gases created by my lightbulbs.

I think you mean to hang pseudo-scientists, like the ones Gore and Soetoro endorse and hire. Actual scientists don't say stupid things like this.

Just when I thought I had heard it all, along comes this. Beyond that, I’m at a loss for words.

And, of course, all these scientist are flying back and forth to their various and assorted conferences in private jets. But that doesn’t matter, my bad.

Gosh...I bet you’d really hate to have the beams of red and green Klieg lights arcing overhead, wouldn’t you?.....:)

And wire each scientist for a CFL Bulb in their MOUTHS. Now, how to make them blink in time to “AWAY in a MANGER”!
