THREE WORDS: YOU’RE KILLING SPONGEBOB!

[defrog]

Welcome to my Earth Day post.

I don’t recognize the authority of Earth Day for a couple of reasons.

One: as Bill Maher said two Earth Days ago, every day should be Earth Day.

Two: when you consider that the people of the world’s most powerful nation spent eight years electing to positons of power and responsibility Republicans who argued then (and argue to this day) that C02 is harmless because humans exhale it, that without C02 plants will starve, and in any case man can’t possibly destroy the Earth because the Bible says so, it’s entirely possible we all deserve to drown.

Okay, not all of us. I'm just saying the Ark should have a guest list and Jason Statham should be hired to enforce it. Which will be awesome when Chuck Norris shows up.

Anyway, that’s why for my money the best way to celebrate Earth Day is to (1) celebrate it year-round and (2) watch Lewis Black make fun of it.

Only you can save mankind,

This is dF

I recently got into an argument with a right-wing nutcase who used the "CO2 can't be bad because we exhale it and plants live on it!" argument in defiance of Global Warming. At first, I thought he was joking. He said he was serious and when I stopped laughing, I was frightened by the knowledge that he's a college graduate.

After I explained to him that anything in large doses can be bad (even water, which if you get too much of it can lead to water intoxication and death), he just went off on a rant about cow fart taxation or something.
