Windmills, Smartcars, and Idiots

Before I really get this diatribe going I wanted to throw out a couple tidbits which one might consider contradictory to the meat of this post. A.) I think that we need to be responsible caretakers of the planet. 2.) I don't think that everyone who recycles or hauls around fabric grocery bags are dopes. I do think they are feeding a machine with desires more monetarily driven than environmentally concerned. i.e. Al Gore or as I like to call him Satan. Just kidding I think that's a little cruel....To Satan.

That said, I am not a fan of regulations in general but this idea of 'climate control' comes across as a little pompous and foolish. Also I don't believe that a small sampling of climate data much of which is suspect due to human error and bias is enough to concur that the Earth is heating up because of us.
There is a lot of power to be had and money to be made by convincing the world that climate change is our fault, and that it indeed is real.

WWF (environmental group not the worldwide wrestling federation) was backing this Black out hour last week in an effort to rally the troops against global warming. Basically supporters all turned their lights off at the same time for an hour to feel all fuzzy and warm. They asked that people share their plans for this scheduled unplugging, I obliged. Julia asked me to put my email here:


Title: Hooray the world is finally going to be saved!

WWF,
I have been so concerned for so long about the sad scary state of earth's health. One hour is not enough! Can't we lobby for a week, I'm sure that if every soul on the planet would give up just a month, maybe then we could reverse this thing! Obama please make this happen! Imagine if we could get a global cessation of all carbon fuel power for just one year, we might be able to cut the cancer out of the globe, and give mother earth an extension on life…If Obama could get everyone to live like the Amish, or the bushmen…perhaps then the sun would stop scorching the fragile crust of our home. Maybe that doesn't go far enough. No, indeed it does not. If we all swallowed laced punch like Heaven's gate--If we could hold a giant concert with all of earth's heroes like U2, Yoko Ono, and Hanson as a final shout to our mother proclaiming our love for her before making the ultimate sacrifice. We could then give her the biggest gift of all. All so that the globe can keep turning and evolution can reset. Then maybe that will be enough to save our favorite piece of the universe for an additional, what? like, ten minutes. I really don't buy it, and I disdain you, your lobbyists, your bunk science, your blind sheep, and your influence for infringing on my liberties.

To help the globe I will up my carbon footprint as much as I possibly can during your ridiculous hour. Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum burn all the oil from every oil drum!
