I had a young environmentalist STUDENT call me. After telling me about her "flight" to the area, we got into the environmental stuff.
She was the perfect American (She said)...so self conscience about her environmental actions and so against everyone else's waste.
I asked her how many pairs of shoes she had. About a dozen, she said. Then I asked her how many feet she had.
Somehow, I don't think she'll ever call me back.

Michael OLeary, boss of the budget airline Ryanair, has been widely derided after he was reported to have said that global warming could be solved by massacring the worlds cattle. The way he is running around telling people they should shoot cows,
Mu guess is that he’s just trying to get even after his grandmothers cow tried to burn down Chicago.

“Im so worried about global warming, I need to go take a walk to calm down.”
Don’t walk. I will buy a big Hummer and pick you up and drive away your anxities.

Our entire modern existence is an ultra complex system which does not necessarily reward feel good efforts with the intended results. By the time you run the numbers on any action, you will very likely find youve done more harm than good.Amen.
I'd like to know the carbon footprint for those exotic lattes, with imported coffee beans (from Brazil, Africa, Indonesia, etc.), that Prius driving bicycle riding self-righteous yuppies are sipping on at Starbucks right now.

OK - this is exactly the info I needed to justify not walking to the mailbox...
But in all seriousness, if people cannot see how insane the left is, this should be enough evidence to wake them up...

I guess we just weren't supposed to be here at all. Not bad enough that our technology is killing the planet, now our mere existence is bad.
It's not environmentalism. It's misanthropy, and it's psychotic.

Government needs a way to tax your feet...
If you drive a car - Ill tax the street
If you try to sit - Ill tax your seat
If you get too cold - Ill tax the heat
If you take a walk - I'll tax your feet
Taxman!

Of all the goofy nonsense, this one is the most bizarre.
All I could picture was all those calories just floating up into the ozone layer.

“Now we’re all supposed to just sit around and starve to death.”
You have correctly summed up the essence of deep green philosophy. I find this to be agreeably amusing. I suspect that the calculations and sums done in this research to be essentially correct.
It is the underlying assumptions about what is best for humanity that are fundamentally flawed.

Where can I get a human hummer?
