Environmentalism or Stupidity?
Environmentalism or Stupidity
Stop the water flow to the farms so they will not survive a drought because of a certain salmon or smelt. Never mind that people starve, others lose their jobs or the farmers lose their land. It is all about taking good care of the planet you know. If it wasn’t such a damn serious matter it would be funny.
The worst part of this is that our children are being indoctrinated on this fallacy each and every day. We have to make sacrifices so the planet can live. If a few million people are homeless, starve to death or are put in prison for violating these extraordinarily stupid restrictions so be it. They are the real criminals while the rapists, murderers and child molesters are just misguided and need our help. Heaven help those who want to build on their property and spoil the view of a few people. Let’s blow up their buildings or set them on fire. Never mind the extra pollution; it will be better in the long run. Oh, that man lost all he owns due to cost over runs because you did it. That is even better, he deserved it. He should have been a good little boy and went out and killed someone so we could help him.
There are eight constantly active volcanoes in the world at any given moment. Each one give out more pollution than all the cars ever built from day one until present. Combined these volcanoes put out more pollution than all the industries in the world ever could. Isn’t it amazing that the planet hasn’t already died without any help from us? Perhaps if we load all the environmentalist wackos into busses and drive them to the volcanoes we can make laws and fines and other stupid nonsense that will permit them to only emit a certain amount each year. Al Gore could sell Carbon Credits from his company to them each time they exceed the recommended limit. We can have catalytic converters installed as soon as we can get them to shut down their eruptions long enough. If that doesn’t work we can appease the God of the volcanoes by sacrificing all those nutcases. With luck, maybe they will plug it up.
I have it! Each country that has an active erupting volcano must buy enough Carbon Credits from All Gore to offset the carbon load they put into the atmosphere. Of course we have to come up with a way to measure it and the other pollutants and figure out a way to fine the countries for exceeding the recommended levels. Next we will have to use force, if needed to make them shutdown their industry and agriculture to compensate for them being so environmentally unfriendly as to allow a volcano to erupt.
Okay, after we have done all that then next we have to deal with the other big polluters, trees. Especially Pine and Fir trees as they give off oxides of nitrogen after absorbing CO2. This may require drastic measures as about the only way I know of to stop trees from polluting is to get rid of them. We can also fine any country, state, county or individual that is so set on polluting by having a tree. We can give the lumber companies medals and tax breaks for performing a public service. After all, they are helping to control pollution so it would be only right. Next would be grasses and shrubs, food crops. Oh yes, food crops, we would have to get rid of them since they use pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers to produce what we normally use. If a lot of people starve to death, what matter, we are saving the environment. That just means there is less Carbon in the air that would cause global warming and we can’t have that.
Now that we have gotten rid of those major polluters, we can go after the other culprits, animals. My goodness, this is a lot of pollution here. They give off carbon whenever they breathe and since we have no plants to absorb it, we must get rid of them. They also have the audacity to belch and fart, not to mention they poop and this contributes greatly to pollution so they have to go. Besides, people eat them which causes them to belch, fart and poop and we can’t have that. Then, to top it all off, they tend to die and then decay which adds not only methane, carbon, various chemicals and breeds bacteria so on all levels they have to go. We can do the same in the oceans since fish, whales and all the others do the same. Besides, they poop in the water and pollute it.
Okay, That leaves oil. Get rid of it. There is a finite amount and it is a major polluter. It gives off gas, carbon, oxides of nitrogen, sulphur and who knows what else. We would be better off without it. After that is gone we don’t have to worry about the chemical plants since that will be self correcting anyway. The steel industry, automobile industry, plastics, aircraft, wood, construction and all other industries will not be needed mainly because there is nothing for them and mankind will have ceased to exist, but the planet will be here and in pristine condition although devoid of all life.
This is what you want isn’t it? What, no it isn’t. Why not? Don’t you revile all industry, all pollution, all damage to the environment? If there is no environment then how can you damage it? Oh, this is terribly extreme you say. Well, keep on with your stupid damn laws and protect every single thing that exists and you are doing the same thing. You are regulating the industries and peoples existence away from them all in the name of an ideal you are being force fed by environmental groups who don’t give a damn about anything or anyone except their own personal power and agenda. If the earth was in so much danger and global warming was such a threat why hasn’t the doom and gloom they forecasted for 20 years maximum, forty years ago materialized? Could it be the threat isn’t real, but manufactured for money and power? The environmentalists now basically control industry and government. They have now allied with the unions to stop or destroy business. If you have trouble believing this, look to California. Before all the environmentalism craze they were seventh in the world in production and economy. Now, they are seventh in the USA and falling fast economy wise. At the present rate within twenty years they will end up 49th or since Barak Obama thinks there are fifty-seven states, they will be fifty-sixth.
This is just an extreme view of some of the stupidity going on in America today and not meant as totally serious although there are many areas of truth in it.
