That guy got fired.
My personal favorite was they guy who was going to dump a load of "toxic waste" so labeled into the ocean because he had an immense hatred of fish.
That was a pretty funny episode.
The kids
"Why are you doing this Mr Evil guy"
"Because I HATE squishy smelly fish, now kindly move out of the way so I can dump this one barrel of toxic waste into the ocean and kill every fish on the planet"
to be fair, most human beings are childish. I've met people from Germany, France, Turkey, Thailand, Japan, China, Korea, and many more, and haven't been that impressed.Quote:

I'm confused. Isn't the Carbon Belch Day being sponsored by people who agree with you that climate change isn't being man-made? Also, didn't the IPCC report, made by like a 1000 climate scientists, say there was a 90% chance of it being anthropogenic? Isn't that scientific evidence? I'm just trying to understand what you mean when you say counterculture.Quote:

I'm not seeing any reason to trust either group's assumptions at this point.Quote:

I'm all for living an environmentally friendly lifestyle because I don't enjoy shitty air and water. My car gets over 30 mpg. You don't have to buy into the global warming industry to care about the environment. As for the science of global warming, it's junk science. Just like the global cooling crisis was junk science. It's silly to sit back and "let the scientists hash it out" because most scientists can get a hell of a lot more grant money supporting global warming than debunking it. Global warming is political theater. Use your head, look at the objective facts (like global warming occurring on other planets), and then make up your mind. If you want to buy carbon credits from Al to be on the safe side that's your business.
I don't believe there is any more respiration nowadays then there was 300 years ago. AndQuote:

Again, the Earth's precession and orbit and the suns brightness has not significantly change in the last 300 years; and according to those cycles it would indicate a cool in the Earth's temperature. The only cause would be in the atmosphere, and we've been a pretty fucking big butterfly.

I think it's funny and no one is going to care. It's like Earth Day.Quote:

There was the whole to do about every band having their own private jets to run around the world.Quote:

Are you talking about Live Earth?
