Warm this.
They get dressed up in wind-efficient sports clothing and ride their mountain bikes 3 miles to class--the frame alone costs $1000--and then ride home again having saved us from the evil CO2, and then pile into their noisy, bucking stinking little economy car to go to the mall to buy fresh mountain bike socks. Yes, they do. All their friends ride mountain bikes, too, unless it rains or is cold, which it is 90% of the time.
It's ironic that one of the "Day After Tomorrow's" creators, talk radio personality Art Bell, used to be a fairly staunch libertarian/conservative who first made a splash as the Limbaugh of late night AM radio.
Environmentalism is the new home of Socialism!!!!!
Well they've already got their people inside the corporations. Imagine bios that look something like: 1970, BA Political Science, Hoffstra University; 1978, JD, NYU; 1979 - 1985, Partner - Schmuck, Schlong and Schmo Law Firm; 1985 - 1990; Director of Business Development - Acme Electric Co; 1990 - 1998; Vice President of Marketing - Commusell Aerospace Corporation; 1998 - present; Executive Vice President; Big Three Automobile Company .... etc.
I went out in the garden and picked some tomatos an hour ago, and you know what? They were hot.
It's gonna be okay though. I put them in the global cooler and they will chill right down.
We're having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The temperature's rising,
It isn't surprising,
She certainly can can-can.
She started a heat wave
By letting her seat wave
In such a way that
The customers say that
She certainly can can-can.
Gee, her anatomy
Makes the mercury
Jump to ninety-three.
We're having a heat wave,
A tropical heat wave,
The way that she moves
That thermometer proves
That she certainly can can-can.
Maybe we should practise holding our breaths - will reduce the Carbon.
Climatologists interviewed on the radio and tv about the Day After Tomorrow scenario have all stated that global warming is a reality - what is NOT a reality is the significance of human contribution to the same.
The earth has warmed up and cooled down throughout its geological history and based on recent Pleistocene events, we should be heading for a gradual cooling sometime ni the future.
If they want something REAL to worry about - they should worry about polar reversals. Changes in the earth's core indicate a polar reversal is about to occur within the not too distant future. They are currently magnetic anomalies beneath the Pacific where magnetic north isn't where its supposed to be.
Or they could worry about rogue asteroids imploding into the earth's surface.
But I guess they can't blame this on the Capitalist life style, so its of no interest to them.
These knotheads will keep spouting their trash but what was depicted in that silly movie over the weekend will NEVER HAPPEN!
How much do you think this screen gem costs ?
The lefties could probably solve most of the problems they bloviate over instead of wasting their money on defective democrat candidates and hand-wringing movies.
Paging Mr. Jackson - Mr. Jessee Jackson. Please pick up the white courtesy phone.
That's great. If they want to participate in the market. If they succeed in getting the companies to adopt their measures, those companies will see their costs rise and will lose market share and/or fail. If theses shareholders don't get enough of a stake to affect the company's policy then they have put otherwise sterile capital, foundation money and the like, into productive use.

Corporations are accountable to stock holders. For example any corporate board that respondes to jessie jackson or his bond firm goons, should be booted out of office for breach of a fiduciary duty by agreeing to extortion.
INTREP - JUNKSCIENCE AGENDA ALERT
When I called a county office today one official said not to worry, because they didn't (yet) have "enforement money". Well great... As if insurance companies won't immediately notify each apartment and condo complex manager that they won't be covered if people have a BBQ on their little decks.
They fact is, we American (sheeple?) are being pushed to live closer and closer together, but with fewer freedoms, but at the same time we are told it really is "good living" yet bits of our cultural habits are eradicated. We're told that we should keep more land for "mitigation" and environment - even as we allow more and more people into the country...
In Pierce County, when something is built the county must grab 15 acres of land for every 1 acre they use for "mitigation" (moving species, adding trees, creating wetland etc.) Yes, a ratio of 15 to 1! Landowners are being "relived" of property through extremely easy emminent domain/condemnation laws, with 90 days to get off their property. Currently one man has been told he needs to give up his small farm - which is a mile and half AWAY from new bridge contruction!) while closer and empty lots are being sold for offices and having townhouses built upon them! I think it is because his land (zoned for farming) was cheaper than the corner lots zoned commerical and so a family is MOVED OFF THEIR PROERTY AND OUT OF THEIR HOUSE and the empty lots are built up... It makes me want to cry.
Fighting this has been difficult and not yet successful. The only day citizens are safe is when there is a snow day. And even then more laws are "coming due..."
