Cripes, why don't they just come out and say, "Don't eat... or breath."
Posted at 2007-08-23 08:53:09 [PermaLink]Wow! Imagine if there were some system to calculate the costs of production of various items and locations, so that people could see what the impact was. We could call it a "market" and the signals would be "prices".
Only an idiot leftist (but I repeat myself) could spend decades researching only to come up with the idea of a market. Maoism is a hell of a drug!
Net they'll note that trying to survive only on local elements (they might call it "autarky") is less enjoyable, less healthy, produces shorter people, has people die faster, contains fewer nutrients, and is only survivable by a very small elite as the rest starve. They'll then denounce localism as "feudalism" and "elitism" and an effort by "guilds" to restrain comeptition and trade.
How wrong, how often, do they have to be before they shut up and no one ever listens to them ever again? Goddamn hippies!
Folks, CO2 is roughly a third of one percent of our atmosphere. The totality of human effort shifts that meagre proportion by slightly less that one percent of itself... well below the annual fluctuations caused by natural variables, such as oceanic absorption, volcanic emmission... Please, there is no way on God's green Earth that humans can even effect the eror factor, let alone the temperature of the Earth by CO2. Call me a "denier", call me a "Bush Neo-Con", just don't call me late for dinner.
Save a tree... Eat a beaver.
Elizabeth Edwards, wife of the candidate, expressed concern at the eating of tangerines due to the long-distance transportation involved. I try to help her out in this post:

Good points, Hey.
But I am not holding my breath until the lefties get it; the market is EEEVIILL, doncha know.
We should all save the planet by eating Norwegian Moose (Canada moose may be as gassy; I don’t know). One Norwegian Moose creates as much EEEVIIIL CO2 in one year as driving a car 13,000 kilometers.
And maybe we should drive to the store to do our shopping – we breath heavier while walking than while sitting in a car. (Some British study showed this.)
Environmentalism is an emotional disease.
