Some folks may actually get the notion that the planet will be safe if we all just start driving Priuses. But even if we cured ourselves of our addiction to fossil fuels and stabilized the planet's climate, we'd still have an environmental crisis on our hands. Our fundamental problem is that -- now it's my chance to sound hysterical -- humans are a species out of control. We've been hellbent on wrecking our environment pretty much since the day we figured out how to make fire.
Just wipe out the human race. All will be well.
But there's also the minor matter of people building homes in wildfire-susceptible forests... The message that needs to be communicated to these people is: "Your problem is not global warming. Your problem is that you're nuts."
The message that needs to be communicated to leftists is: "Your problem isn't global warming. Your problem is envy."
Don't kid yourself. A lot of liberals would LOVE this scenario. For all their acclaimed "humanism" they actually hate people, because no matter how wonderful the utopian scenarios liberals come up with, human nature thwarts it. That's why they hate freedom - freedom interferes with their carefully crafted utopias.
I suggest this guy and all the other liberals get together and have a "Jones" party to start things off. They can mix up a big batch of cool-aid with a little cyanide in it, remembering to take Ms. Pelosi with them, and then after all the appropriate speeches about how they are "Saving the planet, saving the planet" they can all down their cool-aide. The rest of us can then ponder what we want to do at our leisure, taking into consideration that the whacko liberals stood by their convictions and had the courage to save the world by leaving it.
As far as I can see that would be the best thing they could do for the rest of humanity and the world! I, for one, will opt not to leave of my own free will but wait until it is my time to go.
