liberal environmentalist cry..



what happens when a 72 year old man drives by a high school and sees a hummer parked out front ?? the 72 year old man stops, gets out and keys the hummer. this is what liberal environmentalists are reduced to.

it's funny to think that a 72 year old man should take some maturity lessons from a high school student.. sad really. it's sad to see the mental illness of environmentalism taken to such extremes.

after getting busted by the camera footage, the man - a member of the sierra club and greenpeace - turns himself in and notes that not only has he keyed this hummer, he's keyed many more. why?? because the carbon footprint is too big.

the irony? the car he drives only gets 1-2 mpg more than the hummer.. factor in the amount of driving he's doing to find hummers to key and the paint used to repaint the hummers -- this old guy prolly needs to go before the world court and beg for forgiveness from the green gods.

co2 scrubbers..





















From conservative punk:

CO2 Scrubbers and the Environmentalists Who Oppose Them
By RizzutoThu Jul 24, 2008 - A technological breakthrough might just allow CO2 to be "scrubbed" from the atmosphere. This from the Guardian:

It has long been the holy grail for those who believe that technology can save us from catastrophic climate change: a device that can "suck" carbon dioxide (CO2) from the air, reducing the warming effect of the billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas produced each year.

Now a group of US scientists say they have made a breakthrough towards creating such a machine. Led by Klaus Lackner, a physicist at Columbia University in New York, they plan to build and demonstrate a prototype within two years that could economically capture a tonne of CO2 a day from the air, about the same per passenger as a flight from London to New York.

The prototype so-called scrubber will be small enough to fit inside a shipping container. Lackner estimates it will initially cost around £100,000 to build, but the carbon cost of making each device would be "small potatoes" compared with the amount each would capture, he said.

You would think that this would be an environmentalists wet dream. The perfect solution to their problem! Turns out...not so much.
This from the National Center for Policy Analysis:
While some see the scrubber as an efficient and economical way to reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide, many environmentalists oppose the technology because it allows people to use fossil fuels and emit carbon in the first place.

Doesn't that go to the heart of the agenda of the environmentalists? They're not really interested in solutions, just control. People shouldn't be able to emit carbon whether it has an effect on the environment or not.
