If I was an eco-nut, wouldn’t I have to believe printing magazines contributes to Global Warming?

An hour ago, I got a call on my Sprint cell phone. The call was a text message from Sprint. The message asked if I was willing to “go Greener!”
Sprint, you are dead to me! Your burial is tomorrow, at your store, so I can raise a stink in person, in public!

I got a call from them last week, but the indian guy who called didn’t have the “go green” script I guess. I’m am about to dump them too, but because my phone sucks, and their corporate stores employ chain smoking idiots who fight for smoke breaks more than performing customer service.

Global Warming is another way of pushing communism. Its why the leftists love it soo much.
A lot of eastern european countries have been vocally opposed to all the global warmning mandates coming out of the EU. Those countries can smell Communist B.S. coming from a mile away. They were just able to finally free themselves from the communist inslavement of the USSR. The last thing they want is another form of it from the new Kremlin in Brussels.

That says it all about Time’s political biases.

The title you created "Time Magazine Exploits Iwo Jima Photo for Global Warming Alarmism and Angers Iwo Jima Vets" did not match the title at the linked source and had to be changed.

We're trying to reduce the number of duplicate threads. Please just use the original published title. Thanks.

I frequently participate in online media questionnaires from the university where I did my grad work to help them define or refine the alumni magazine. The last one was an online questionnaire about "green" issues. Thinking they would ask about recycled paper, soy-based ink and articles about conservation, I started answering. But on the third page or so, the questionnaire began grilling me in exhaustive detail about my "green" practices in my home and business, as well as my commitments to do even more in the coming year. The program literally would not let me pass from one page to the next without expressing a commitment to replace my lightbulbs or other unproven leftie shibboleths. It was incredibly intrusive, patronizing and Big Brotherish, which I did tell them in the comments space.

“It’s an absolute disgrace,” Mates said. “Whoever did it is going to hell. That’s a mortal sin. God forbid he runs into a Marine that was an Iwo Jima survivor.”

Disclaimer: My old man is an Iwo Jima survivor. He was a Pharmacist's Mate First Class (PM1 or Navy Corpsman/Medic for those of you poor souls who were never in the Navy) who went ashore at about noon on D-day.

When was the last time TIME did something that wasn't a disgrace?

This is Time cover is offensive to me at every possible level.

As the son of a WWII vet (and a vet myself, and the Dad of 2 in uniform) I’m offended.

As a free-thinking, difficult-to-intimidate scientist, I’m offended.

As an American, I’m offended.

Lt. John Keith Wells, the leader of the platoon that raised the flags on Mt. Suribachi and co-author of “Give Me Fifty Marines Not Afraid to Die: Iwo Jima” wasn’t impressed with Time’s efforts.

“That global warming is the biggest joke I’ve ever known,” Wells told the Business & Media Institute. “[W]e’ll stick a dadgum tree up somebody’s rear if they want that and think that’s going to cure something.”

Right on!

The depravity of the Dims once again shows that it knows no depth. As a former Marine, I am absolutely appalled that this left wing rag would besmirched one of the most cherished symbols of American bravery - for ANY reason - let alone the global warming hoax. Is there nothing besides killing babies that those swine hold sacred in this country?
