re: #266 Fenway_Nation

Bull fucking shit…if the situation is as dire as the AGW crows is making it out to be, how come Al Gore isn’t showing up to every speaking engagement in a horse-drawn cart instead of flying around in a learjet. How come all these ‘green’ initiatives involve throwing alot of money at some unregulated entity to offset one’s carbon footprint?

Well, for starters, your second statement is just not true. “All” the initiatives are not about carbon footprints, not even most of them. The carbon footprint idea is easily lampooned, but it’s a small fraction of the whole picture. Have you read about the whole picture?

As for how come Al’s not driving a horse and buggy? Fenway, you know that’s a logical fallacy and not a serious argument. If you were doing something you felt was important to the future of the country, you wouldn’t be stupid enough to ride a horse to your appointments just to cut carbon emissions by a millionth of a percent. That would be certifiably insane, and I think you know that.
