This Just In: Warmists with Frostbite
The ever-brilliant Mr. Moeller writes an adroit and trenchant message for Lenin’s Birthday Earth Day. This just amused me to no end:
I myself plan to demonstrate my regard for the green lifestyle in the usual fashion: by eating a Big Mac in my car with the air conditioner on.
And now, some Earth Day reading:
–An activist planned to travel unassisted to the North Pole to demonstrate the dangers of warming temperatures and vanishing Arctic ice. He promptly developed frostbite and had to be rescued. The best part? He wasn’t the first activist to have to turn back due to cold temperatures on one of these little awareness-raising trips.
–The coordinator of the original Earth Day decries the "holiday’s" growing commercialism:
“This ridiculous perverted marketing has cheapened the concept of what is really green,” said Denis Hayes, who was national coordinator of the first Earth Day and is returning to organize this year’s activities in Washington. “It is tragic.”
If by "tragic" he means "bloody hilarious", then yes. Perhaps the marketers will be visited by the Ghosts of Earth Days Past, Present, and Future, who will teach the true spirit of Earth Day:
Joyless secular Puritanism? Self-righteous nagging? Meaningless feel-good bromides? Neglecting personal hygiene because it’s good for the environment?
Now that would make for a fun Earth Day card.
Go to the Jonathan Moeller website and leave an Earth Day message if you liked this entry. Or, if you just like the threestoogesesque irony of a Warmist false-alarm-ringer getting frostbite, one after another after a fourth.
