The 12th Commandment Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 It cracked me up none the less. Wish I'd of found this yesterday. http://features.csmonitor.com/environment/2009/04/01/scientists-worldwide-admit-global-warming-is-a-hoax/ "For his part, Al Gore has owned up to duping the scientific community. In a blog post on his website, the ex-Nobel Laureate explains the genesis of his scheme, “now that the jig is up.” As long as I can remember, my only goal in life has been to destroy free-market capitalism and replace it with global totalitarian socialism. But it seemed that traditional methods, such as guerrilla warfare, were proving unsuccessful. Then, one day in 1988, as I was strolling through the halls of my giant mansion, it hit me: carbon dioxide. By striking at the molecule that lies at the heart of industrial civilization, I could bring the whole system to its knees and usher in a workers’ paradise. The rest just sort of fell into place. I wrote a book, held some Congressional hearings, made a movie, dashed off a few pseudonymous journal articles on radiative forcing, and the next thing you know, I was on TV with Dave Matthews and Ludacris convincing people to purchase carbon offsets. Carbon offsets! I would have gotten away with it, too, if it hadn’t been for that darn petition." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCsportsfan53 Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Seriously, the country is running out of money, the gov't running ridiculous defecits.....I think we can table "going green" for now. The reason we haven't already is because it's too ****ing expensive, it always winds up creating problems in new areas and it's impact is greatly overstated. The planet changes all the time. Climates change, adapt, get destroyed (natrually or by humans) and rebuild themselves. How about we concentrate on keeping on country viable and stop spending 10s of billions forcing this kind of crap, subsidizing corn to make enthanol and forcing our companies to be unable to compete with foreign companies who don't have all those hoops to jump through? Unfortunately I know that's not going to happen with Obama in power. I know this is only semi on topic of the post but it's just a subject that's been on my mind a little lately.
