How did CBS Evening News celebrate Earth Day? By sharing the ugly sentiment that humans were not needed. Thats exactly what reporter John Blackstone suggested in his Wednesday report touting how the deadly Chinese coronavirus, which had killed more than 47,000 Americans and left 22 million unemployed, was keeping the country stuck inside.
Tonight, we mark the 50th anniversary of Earth day. There were supposed to be big celebrations around the world, but instead, people are celebrating inside and they're celebrating cleaner air and cleaner water, boasted anchor Norah ODonnell as she led into the segment.
Blackstone kicked off his report by marveling at the irony that Earth Day 2020 was marked by staying indoors. On this Earth Day, the out-of-doors is largely out of bounds. Parks and beaches are closed. Even picnic tables are off-limits, he gawked.
He then spoke with Michael Brune, the executive director of the Sierra Club, who claimed they expected hundreds of millions of people out in the streets celebrating before the virus came along. In 1970, on the first Earth Day, demonstrators filled cities around the world. Today, those streets are largely empty, but the air, temporarily at least, is cleaner, Blackstone added.
Speaking of the founding of Earth Day. Blackstone didnt mention that Earth Days radical leftist co-founder Ira Einhorn had murdered and composted his girlfriend in a trunk in his closet.
Brune would later tell CBS that We all need nature, a lot more than nature needs us. That prompted Blackstone to opine about how humans werent needed:

2. Okay assclowns, in approximately 6ish weeks the erf is lookin' pretty spick and span. So, just how horrific had we made the environment if it only took that short a time to clean itself up? Guess trees and bushes are doing their job huh.
3. Hey climageddonists------------fah Q!
4. Why no mention of Ira?
I burned a pile of tractor trailer tire scraps I picked up along the open interstate highway.
The tall plume of acrid black smoke was a real tribute to the Erf!
Without us, there is no point in earth being pristine and perfect. The goal is meaningless.
These “green” “progressive” “environmentalist” types truly have no idea what’s going on in their own minds.
then why dont these leftards kill themselves and show us a lesson on how it’s done?
Humans are not needed. Especially employees of CBS.
Let them set an example show us how it’s done. Suicide is the sincerest form of self criticism.
Sweet!!!
I celebrate earth day every year by digging a hole to show her who’s boss.
Beavers and termites and seagulls make no apology for what they do. If, as they suppose, we are no more than animals, why should we feel guilty? And if we are superior to the animals, then we have a right to be here and to use the earth for our own species benefit.
I love clean air, water, soil. We should take care of that. But we should not feel guilty for living, and should not get discouraged if we dont know how to fix some problems. We are a work in progress, and God isnt finished with us yet.
If humans did not exist, it would not matter whether or not the Earth was a lifeless rock.
What is the purpose of the World if people are not in it?
What does one expect on a “Celebrate Lenin’s Birthday” day.
That seems like such a simple observation, but it is beyond the Left.
If we are “just animals”, then we do what we do, and you might as well criticize a whale for the moral failing of eating plankton.
If we are “more than animals”, then get into God’s Word and help us live moral lives in accordance with His teachings.
But the Left rejects God and also rejects us over our moral failings. I don’t think you can have it both ways.
Uh, the vast majority of us are not “celebrating” at all.
People who believe humans are not necessary or are hurting the planet should “lead the way” by “self-aborting” themselves. The sooner, the better.
I didn’t even know it was earth day, I was cutting down more trees and lighting off burn piles. Oh well.
Indeed, why no mention of the murdering founder of Earth Day, Ira Einhorn?
If it were up to the left,we would all be Holly Maddux.

TURN OFF YOUR HEAT, AIR-CONDITIONERS, AUTOMOBILES, VACATIONS YOU LEFTIST HYPOCRITES
.
I think we have to guilt and preach to the left how they have to live by their own standards;
-No cars. Walk. Bike. Live in ‘stack and pack’ apartments, Soviet style, sharing bathrooms and kitchens with other families.
-No Air conditioning.
-Only electricity that their solar pannels on their roofs can make.
-MUCH higher taxes,,, for them.
-Seperate garbage, no pets, no excess, as defined by the majority, in any luxery or convenience. LIVE THE COMMUNE.
Before you can get me to even THINK of your lifestyle,,,
Practice what you preach Hippies, and KNOW you can’t make me live a way I don’t agree,,, without us both dying!!!!!
