Citizens Fire Back With Carbon 'Belch'

Thousands of Americans are pledging to fire up their charcoal barbecue grills, bask in the infinite glow of numerous incandescent light bulbs, shun recycling of any kind and take spontaneous road trips in gas-guzzling vehicles to increase their personal carbon output – all in protest of the Senate debate over a bill calling for a "cap-and-trade" system.

Grassfire, one of the nation's fastest-growing grassroots organizations, has declared June 12 Carbon Belch Day and is enlisting citizens to expel more than 100 million pounds of CO2 to combat climate alarmist propaganda and to take a stand against a "$1.2 trillion carbon tax."

"We wanted to point out the absurdity of the climate alarmism of Al Gore and others who want to make us feel bad for just about everything we do and rally people for the battle over the carbon tax which is now under way in the Senate," Grassfire president Steve Elliott told WND. "We really plan to engage lots of citizens who have been under carbon-footprint guilt for far too long and give citizens an opportunity to make a statement that we reject climate alarmism. We're not going to stand for this carbon tax."

WorldNetDaily's take on The Big Belch.

Personally, I meet or exceed just about every item on the Carbon Belch checklist on a daily basis. I gotta cover the bases for some of the slackers out there. LOL

YeeeeHawwwww!

Gonna fire up the big ol’ Texas pit and drive around the neighborhood in my F-350, make a fire in the old wood stove and run the airconditioner at the same time!

Combating Gore’s craziness with immature national tantrums of me-ism.

Works for me.

The day that I hear that the politicians, celebrities, media moguls and billionaires foresake their mansions and ski lodges..jets and suburbans..then I will believe in global warming. They are talking about us..US..the middle class and poor reducing our standard of living and paying enormous taxes to support their weird ideas and lifestyle.
Forget it. I don’t believe them.
Cromwell and the French revolution may be good role models for the future. These idiots are drunk on their elitest ideas.

I’m getting 3 bags of charcoal and putting 3 air conditioners in the windows to run all day. I am so excited!

[hoagy62]

I’m gonna eat two cans of Nalley’s Chili and fart like there’s no tomorrow!

I scored a 268 on the Belch-o-meter. And I was being honest. A normal day comes in around 210-225, but I'll kick it up a notch on the 12th.

Why would they schedule this on a Thursday??? Do it on a Saturday when people have extra time available to BBQ, burn and belch.

[Viking2002]

I have a gas grill, an Orion cooker, and the ol' Big Red charcoal smoker all on the same porch. With a freezer full of Sam's Club meat pre-cut, and pre-marinated, all it takes is a match or the push of a button, and it's cookout time. I can work a 12 hour day, and I'll still have raw animal flesh popping and sizzling over open flames at 9 P.M. on any given night of the week.

Count me IN for 279 pounds!

Why would they schedule this on a Thursday???

So commuters can participate. Why else?

[barb-tex]

I will celebrate by driving my 10mpg 454 Chev one ton. Also all the other stuff.

Damn - did I miss a methane-related BBQ bean checkoff on there? LOL

[Viking2002]

Ladies and gentlemen, I remove my horns and crown the new Carbon Belchmeister! LMAO

[Colonel_Flagg]

I think I’ll burn a few tires in celebration. We’ve had a cold spring up here.

[Viking2002]

I hear that Deere tractor tires burn like the dickens. Light one up in my honor. :-)

"Don't think for a minute that 'carbon ration cards' won't find their way to the Democratic-controlled Congress, especially when all the presidential candidates are pushing climate alarmism."

I'm gonna have my "paper machine" ready for that day.

In the meantime, I'll see your carbon footprint and beat ya by a size 14 bootprint that cannot be seen because it's so far up Al Gore's a$$.

Love my Orion cooker. Too bad this spring's been so windy. Hard to want to cook on the thing when the gusts are around 45 mph.
