Self Serving Website Dujour
It’s people like this that really get to me. On one hand, he makes all kinds of self serving proclamations and empty gestures to show mow he cares more than the rest of us sinners, and drags his poor family through his morass, like the main character from The Mosquito Coast. But then he sets up a website to promote what is obviously a media centric effort to “get his message out”. (eg:sell books)
Uh, let’s see. Why do you live in Manhattan then, buddy? No caves in Central Park or are they already occupied by Samuel Jackson. The very act of using a website which exists on a server that uses electricity (and the computer you use to maintain it) is KILLING THE PLANET!!!!!! How dare you!
See, here’s what gets me. The immense ego that thinks their actions have any meaning or impact at all in the scope of the planet. All based on the false assumptions of GW cultists. Yet life on earth continues to create CO² on a continual basis, while being grossly outmatched by volcanoes and meanwhile it’s the sun that affects global temperatures.
Doesn’t matter because the attention seekers always think that their futile acts are what makes the world go around.
There are plenty of people around the world who are forced to live without electricity and running water and don’t live in some Manhattan high rise. They live in a dirt floor shack and have to burn animal dung to cook dinner. They would trade places with this jackass guy in a second. But it’s people like this who want the rest of us to live like those shack dwellers in the developing world. Because they willingly submitted their alleged intelligence to an ideology based on mendacity and superstition. And they want us all to share in their foolishness.
This is why we skeptics need to fight GW lunacy. Otherwise we will have our choices taken away from us in the name of “saving the planet”. Ignorant yahoos Politicians who won’t abide by these rules, will write them to make themselves feel good and appear to be “doing something”. It’s all ego and stupidity.
Already I have seen more and more stories about state politicians and Congress-creeps wanting to ban incandescent lights. Another pointless exercise. But it won’t stop there. Oh, no.
As the man said: “The Road to Hell is Paved with Good Intentions”. First you have people like this making absurd radical claims, then you have stupid politicians passing idiotic laws, then you have rights taken away.
No Thanks.
UPDATE: The NY Times profiles this guy. Progressives will have to change their name to regressive if they keep this nonsense up.
Definitely wouldn’t want to shake hands with this guy. The discussion of his toilet habits is just downright disgusting.

(Did I miss anything thing?)
Guys like this would be funny, if they did not take themselves so seriously. But, I wonder about that – how could anyone be so completely uniformed and stone-cold stupid. Maybe, it is a marketing ploy, after all.
Posted by on 03/23 at 01:24 PMNice website, at least. Seems to be an obvious marketing ploy to sell to greenies
