More Environmentalism Kool-Aid Being Drunk


I installed a sweet Google gadget that helps me in several ways, and it had a CNN news feed in it. One headline that popped up caught my attention: Soil study hints at climate model revision. The word "revision" mean instinctively, to me, that it likely helped disprove man-made global warming.

Sure enough, six paragraphs down, it reads:
The study's findings are significant because annual emissions of CO2 from soils -- through photosynthesis and respiration -- are ten times greater than the ones created by burning fossil fuels.

So let me get this straight. The earth gives off ten times more carbon dioxide than we do. True environmentalists would try to cover every inch of earth they could with tarps if they really cared for the planet!

Of course, with "environmentalism," we're not dealing with intellectually honest people; we're dealing with people who are either trying their darndest to get government grants by capitalizing on pop (and flawed) science and a cause du jour.

If releasing CO2 is bad, that means the earth is 10 times more bad than we are.

How could the planet be so stupid? Doesn't it know that's evil? CO2 is evil! I can't believe the earth would do such a thing to itself. Why, that might, over time, raise CO2 levels to nearly 382 parts per million. (We're currently at 380!)

The story quickly pointed out, though, that we're still evil, and the author made it clear he intends to keep drinking the Kool-Aid on man-made global warming.

Here's the new plan, greenie-weenies: Tarp the earth! It can't be trusted to keep itself in balance--we need to do it for the planet. If it weren't for us, the planet would be a mess. Let's have a rock festival: Rockers for Tarps. Tarp Aid. Tarpers for Tapirs. Shut the Tarp Up.
