To Think We Can Change the Earth

To Think We Can Change the Earth



There is not a truth existing which I fear or would wish unknown to the whole world.
- Thomas Jefferson


Damn, those stubborn facts just won't go away, will they?




For all of you out there in America
and across the globe who have
fought so hard to tackle the hideous
enemy of our planet, namely carbon
emissions, that bogus god you
worship named "Climate Change"
or "Global Warming," there is
some really bad news that will be
very painful for you to process. But
it is my duty to pass it on to you
anyway.
Are you sitting down?
Okay, here's the bombshell. The
current volcanic eruption going on
in Iceland , since it first started
spewing volcanic ash a week ago,
has, to this point, NEGATED
EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you
have made in the past five years to
control CO2 emissions on our
planet. Not only that, this single
act of God has added emissions to
the earth estimated to be 42 times
more than can be corrected by the
extreme human regulations proposed
for annual reductions.
I know, I know (have a group hug),
it's very disheartening to realize that
all of the carbon emission savings
you have accomplished while
suffering the inconvenience and
expense of driving Prius hybrids,
buying fabric grocery bags, sitting
up til midnight to finish your kid's
"The Green Revolution" science
project, throwing out all of your
non-green cleaning supplies, using
only two squares of toilet paper,
putting a brick in your toilet tank
reservoir, selling your SUV and
speedboat, going on vacation to a
city park instead of Yosemite ,
nearly getting hit every day on your
bicycle, replacing all of your $1
light bulbs with $10 light bulbs;
well, all of those things you have
done have all gone down the tubes
in just the past week.
The volcanic ash emitted into the
Earth's atmosphere in the past week
has totally erased every single effort
you have made to reduce the evil
beast, carbon. And, those hundreds
of thousands of American jobs you
helped move to Asia with expensive
emissions demands on businesses,
you know, the ones that are creating
even more emissions than when they
were creating American jobs, well
that must seem really worthwhile
now.
I'm so sorry. And I do wish there
was some kind of a silver lining to
this volcanic ash cloud but the fact
of the matter is that the brush fire
season across the western USA will
start in about two months and those
fires will negate your efforts to
reduce carbon emissions in our
world for the next two years.

So, grab a Coke, give the world a
hug, and have a nice day!
