Junk Activism

Haha.  Ironic that the biggest Global Warming protest in Washington D.C. right now goes on after a nice fat March snowstorm.

All of those climatologists doing millions of dollars of climate research couldn’t even predict an abnormally warm day to go holler at politicians about how warm the planet is getting?  At least make it sound good…

Next time you should pick a day in the summer.  Like, near the equator.  And you can all rub each other down with greasy suntan lotion.  Just don’t get cancer from all of that radiation, I mean, unless you’re really out to prove a point…up to you.  I’d enjoy writing about that protest.

From the article:

In a video on Capitol Climate Action’s web site, NASA scientist James Hansen encourages people to join the protest.

“The only practical way to solve the problem is to phase out the biggest source of carbon and that is coal. The science is very clear on that but yet the decision makers are not taking the actions that we needed to do that,” he says. “We have to send that message to Congress and the president.”

DUDE, you’re with NASA.  And you’re a scientist.   Since I was a kid, I’ve loved NASA and I love scientists (honest, intelligent ones, anyway).  The biggest source of carbon is coal?  Um, no.  did you forge that every living thing on this planet is made of carbon?  The biggest sources of carbon emissions would be dying animals and vegetation, exploding volcanoes, and the ocean.

Who is paying you to promote such Junk Activism?!

Look, like I’ve said before, nobody likes pollution.  Pollution comes at a cost for our lifestyle we all enjoy.  If you want to make the world a better place for people, of course we should stop burning coal and other pollutants for our power source.  We definitely pollute and over-consume, we can all agree to these things.

What we shouldn’t do is religiously link our consumption to the noble idea of saving ourselves from the coming Apocalypse.
