Climate alarmist calls for burning down skeptics’ homes

• Gee, those guys are serious. Bit ironic though. I wonder what effect burning down all those houses would have on the environment?

• I think we should burn down all the Section 8 houses that the AGW believers live in.

  • Or maybe not the section 8 houses (which are owned by working people just scamming the government for guaranteed work.) Lets burn down the horrific cinder block welfare units. It'll clean out the vermin and beautify the environment in one stroke.

  • I like your idea better than mine..:)

• sorry i put my comment on wrong topic.. Wow! The hypocracy and stupidity of these people will never cease to amaze me. What is his address???

• Can't his last sentence be used by us to argue against the Welfare State? Food Stamps? Free Abortions? Free Cell Phones? etc etc etc.....

  “We know who the active denialists are – not the people who buy the lies, mind you, but the people who create the lies. Let’s start keeping track of them now, and when the famines come, let’s make them pay. Let’s let their houses burn. Let’s swap their safe land for submerged islands. Let’s force them to bear the cost of rising food prices,” writes Zwick, adding, “They broke the climate. Why should the rest of us have to pay for it?”

  • Hear hear! Al gore's beach house shoul be first on the list! Come ON! Where are those molotov cocktails we wasted gasoline on?

• Let's see, only a hand full of AGW deniers are standing in the way of a brilliant 5-year plan to save the Earth. A plan based one indisputable scientific evidence. Better proved than relativity even, the party says so! It will transform the whole planet into a green utopia, and as a side benefit sweep away rule by the evil 1 % to rule by the green proletariat and the One. So comrade, we burn down these people's houses.

  Just one flaw in his thinking. This fellow must not have been paying attention during party meetings. Standard operating procedure in such cases is to collect up all these enemies of the state and shoot them outright or send them and their families off to a gulag or re-education camp. They can then take their house and give it to one of the party faithful.

  But that damn second amendment..the capitalist scum might resist. If only Fast-n-Furious had worked as intended...

• Should some Eco-terrorist decide to attempt to burn down my house, I will be more then happy to waste a whole gallon of gasoline and a very valuable tracer round on them.

• Thought you might appreciate this!

  At the cash register of the store, the young cashier suggested to the older woman that she should bring her own shopping bags because plastic bags weren't good for the environment.

  The woman apologized and explained, "We didn't have this green thing back in my earlier days."

  The cashier responded, "That's our problem today. Your generation did not care enough to save our environment for future generations."

  She was right -- our generation didn't have the green thing in its day.

  Back then, we returned milk bottles, soft drink bottles and beer bottles to the store. The store sent them back to the plant to be washed and sterilized and refilled, so it could use the same bottles over and over. So they really were recycling. We refilled writing pens with ink instead of buying a new pen, and we replaced the razor blades in a razor instead of throwing away the whole razor just because the blade got dull.

  But we didn't have the green thing back in our day.

  We walked up stairs, because we didn't have an escalator in every shop and office building. We walked to the grocery store and didn't climb into a 300-horsepower machine every time we had to go two blocks.

  But she was right. We didn't have the green thing in our day.

  Back then, we washed the baby's nappies because we didn't have the throw-away kind. We dried clothes on a line, not in an energy gobbling machine burning up 220 volts -- wind and solar power really did dry our clothes back in our early days. Kids got hand-me-down clothes from their brothers or sisters, not always brand-new clothing.

  But that young lady is right. We didn't have the green thing back in our day.

  Back then, we had one TV, or radio, in the house -- not a TV in every room. And the TV had a small screen the size of a handkerchief, not a screen the size of the MCG. In the kitchen, we blended and stirred by hand because we didn't have electric machines to do everything for us. When we packaged a fragile item to send in the post, we used wrapped up old newspapers to cushion it, not Styrofoam or plastic bubble wrap. Back then, we didn't fire up an engine and burn petrol just to cut the lawn. We used a push mower that ran on human power. We exercised by working so we didn't need to go to a health club to run on treadmills that operate on electricity.

  But she's right. We didn't have the green thing back then.

  We drank water from a tap when we were thirsty instead of demanding a plastic bottle flown in from another country. We accepted that a lot of food was seasonal and didn’t expect that to be trucked in or flown thousands of air miles. We actually cooked food that didn’t come out of a packet, tin or plastic wrap and we could even wash our own vegetables and chop our own salad.

  But we didn't have the green thing back then.

  Back then, city people took the tram or a bus, and kids rode their bikes to school or walked instead of turning their mothers into a 24-hour taxi service. We had one electrical outlet in a room, not an entire bank of sockets to power a dozen appliances. And we didn't need a computerized gadget to receive a signal beamed from satellites 2,000 miles out in space in order to find the nearest pizza joint.

  But isn't it sad the current generation laments how wasteful we old folks were just because we didn't have the green thing back then?

  Please forward this on to another selfish old person who needs a lesson in conservation from a smart-ass young person.

  Remember:

  Don't make old people mad. We don't like being old in the first place, so it doesn't take much to piss us off.

  • 100 thumbs up to you!

• Let’s find where the AGW skeptics live, and burn down their houses!

  But wouldn’t that increase warming?

• Seriously, Dude... you really think that's the answer? Do you genuinely believe that picking a fight with AGW skeptics who also likely own guns is a good idea?

  • Do you genuinely believe that picking a fight with AGW skeptics who also likely own guns is a good idea?

    Oh GOD do I hope they think it's a good idea. But liberals are not really known for THINKING, are they?

    • Oh, they think, a lot! Just not in a rational, logical, spatial, reasoning, sequential.......

      • normal

    • Hmmmm... in a word, "No!"

• And I call for putting a small hunk of lead into the cavity that is SUPPOSED to hold a brain, if anyone tries to burn anything of mine. That should make it even.
