The ad is on their website.

According to them me and my family of 3 create 32 Tons of CO2 per year and the average household of 2 emits 25 tons of CO2 per year.

Bad Baklava !

They have a one sided story with no contrary evidence. It is all information on their side of the debate as if we haven’t seen it. But maybe some Americans haven’t seen it. But I would say it’s not balanced.

ST, After the first woman (Gina) sang on American Idol, there was a Global Warming commercial playing on everyone’s emotions. It was a horrible commercial with a train heading down the tracks to hit a girl. Horrible. The website promoted was fightglobalwarming.com which I definitely will be going to to see what “solutions” (leftist – big government – economy and people hurting solutions I’m sure) they are calling for.

Just wanted to type this before I forgot the website. Hope I didn’t get it wrong.

Somebody at Roger Simon’s blog used the term “sumptuary laws”…as in the medieval laws that were intended to keep people of the lower orders from dressing or living like their betters.

Feinstein, the Gorebot, and their friends clearly would like to micromanage the lifestyles of the American people, with generous exemptions being available for those with the right connections.

What’s next from these elitists – â€˜crime offsets’? For example, will it soon be OK for Sandy Burglar to steal more government documents if he donates enough money to the local PBA?

I want to see Sandy “Pants” Berger get waterboarded until he confesses what he stole…

But don’t you see, DiFi and governor Schwartzenkennedy are part of that elite class Mwalimu Daudi posted about yesterday. So they’re allowed to spew all the toxins or greenhouse gasses they feel they need to. However, you guys – Bak, Sev, Tom, David – and I – we must keep our homes dark and cold in the winter. Hey, someone’s gotta make a sacrifice for the First Church of Gaia!!

This is hysterical!

and this:

Oh Great Goracle
(All praise be to Thee),
I here pray fervently.

Abide with me
in my 65 degree house.
Illuminate my soul
as I read by the light
of my 20 watt bulb.

Warm me with thy good cheer
as I bask in my cold shower.
Be the wind at my back
as I dutifully bike
20 miles to work.

I have been thy good servant
and done all, nay even more,
than Thou hast asked of me.
Surely I will be rewarded
with your blessings from on high
as you pass over
in your glorious Green Jet.

Oh Goracle (All praise be to Thee)
use your mighty powers
to insure that all we little people
will be forced to contribute
to the great cause of saving Earth
so we may all, each and every one,
suffer equally in this most worthy cause.

All this I ask in the name
of the Great Goracle,
saviour of our globe from the evil CO2.

Amen (or “Apersons” as you may prefer)

“because their jobs demand a flexibility the airlines can’t match, spokesmen say”…there is indeed a flexibility advantage to private aviation, but there are also lots of bizjets that are smaller and use less fuel than a Gulfstream IV. Maybe they could check out the new Eclipse, or even a used smaller-model Citation like the cj2.

I’d also note that there is a “flexibility advantage” in driving a car instead of taking mass transit, but this doesn’t keep the Feinsteins of the world from trying to require the Little People to do the latter…

It seems that the “Global Warming Crisis” is a new religion of the non-religious; and buying “Carbon Credits” is the new “Purchase of Indulgence”. Hey, I’ll take their money to say I planted trees; same way I’ll give them a deed to a star!

But it’s OK, he bought “science IQ credits” from some brainy kid.

This is rich:

For all of Gore’s later fascination with science and technology, he often struggled academically in those subjects. The political champion of the natural world received that sophomore D in Natural Sciences 6 (Man’s Place in Nature) and then got a C-plus in Natural Sciences 118 his senior year. The self-proclaimed inventor of the Internet avoided all courses in mathematics and logic throughout college, despite his outstanding score on the math portion of the SAT. As was the case with many of his classmates, his high school math grades had dropped from A’s to C’s as he advanced from trigonometry to calculus in his senior year

Linky

Yeah, this is the guy I want advising the world on science and technology issues…

On the wall behind my desk at work is a Demotivators poster that really is aptly suited for this whole issue:

Idiocy – Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.

The idiots are on the march with this AGW hysteria, and the amount of damage they will be able to do to both the US and the world’s economies if they get their way will be extreme. Unfortunately, stupid people in large groups are dangerous.

Barbara Striesandism – the belief in others doing what you preach. Like her asking others to hang their laundry.. when she doesn’t.

How about if the crisis mongerers focus on themselves for a change and stop growing government to fix the problems they are a part of… in a big way.
