Climate change warning labels on gas pumps?

Buy a pack of cigarettes, and a printed warning from the surgeon general will remind you that smoking causes cancer.

Obviously, you’ve chosen to smoke anyway. But perhaps one day you’ll look at that message, printed on the pack, and resolve to change your ways.

Now, apply that idea to global warming.

A group of Bay Area environmentalists wants to slap warning stickers on gasoline pumps, telling drivers that the fuel they’re buying is cooking the planet. The stickers would constantly remind consumers of the link between driving and climate change.

Oh please make them stop. How about a warning label for the Bay Area?

Caution liberals ahead. Your liberty and sanity are at risk.

Put a “THIS CAR BURNS COAL” sticker on all electric cars then.

It’s been statistically proven that homosexuality has increased health risks over the average heterosexual. This data is much more scientifically based than the global warming crap. So in San Francisco, maybe they should make the gays tatoo similar warnings on their naughty parts.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Oh, I think it’s great. Put the warning language underneath the “don’t huff the fumes” warning. /S

No, Just their rear ends. More likely to be seen there.

I hope they plan on providing a really good supply of those labels.

I can almost guarantee the TCO of solar & other alternatives is greater than current oil and coal based systems, and the environmental impact is greater, too. (Tell me Kenya’s environmental record is better than ours).

effing idiots

C’mon, it’s settled science, same as lung cancer and emphysema can be caused by cigarette smoking.

[DJ Taylor]

The label could read:

Save the Planet

Quite your job

Be a Democrat and vote for a living

And then you won't have to drive to work

[Chode]

how about faggot anal sex spreads AIDS???

[TigersEye]

Make your own stickers to put right above the ecopalypse stickers...

Don't drink this Kool-Aid

Add to that studies which showed abortion to roughly double breast cancer risk (for the first abortion), much more scientific than AGW, (and the reason I quit giving to Komen when I found out they support Planeed Parenthood).

Knowledge may be limited, but stupidity is truly boundless.

“Warning: The remaining population of the free thinking people of America have determined the gaseous emissions of moonbat liberals may be related to changes in climatic conditions. The choking stench resulting from these noxious sources presents a threat to the health of the nation and its inhabitants.”
