Global Warming Week-in-Review 4/27/2008

On Sunday we learned about new eco-funerals complete with natural fiber clothing and cardboard coffins. The bad thing is that, just like with real non-eco-funerals, you can go as cheap or expensive as you’d like. I, for one, would like to see the most expensive cardboard coffin. Surely it can’t compare to some nice mahogany. Also, it was determined that a carbon tax won’t make drivers stop using their vehicles. People love their cars, and even after the price of gas has shot up to record levels, people still drive.
On Monday we learned that Skeptics Global Warming, and any other site or opinion that is not in favor of global warming is considered fear mongering. Personally, I thought this was informative news and opinion, but name-calling seems to be the environmentalists’ best friend.
On Tuesday, Al Gore decided to show his We campaign ads in movie theaters. I remember when movie theaters didn’t show any ads before the feature, but now we’re subjected to Gore’s philosophy on global warming affairs. Also, Montana beat the previous temperature record by a mile as the temperature plunged to eight below. If global warming causes low temperatures too, then why is it a problem?
Wednesday taught us that the scientist who voted for Al Gore is now critical of climate change. Since the global warming hoax known as the TItanic is sinking, will the captain go down with the ship? Or is it more appropriate to ask the last global warming activist to turn off the lights? Also, pine beetles in forests are causing massive greenhouse gas emissions. I smell a fight coming on between PETA and Al Gore over this one.
On Thursday we learned that the era of cheap food is over. This is, of course, thanks to the biofuel movement voted into legislation by Al Gore as a tie-breaker, by the way. Also, scientists think there may be a 2400 year solar cycle which is affecting the planet’s climate and is in no way associated with human involvement. Maybe Gore hasn’t spoken out on this because he’s still thinking of how to debunk it.
On Friday news broke that we need a larger network to monitor greenhouse gases as a regional level. This would, of course, cost you, the taxpayer, even more money. On the same day, a report out of Ohio gave a county-by-county breakdown of greenhouse gas emissions. So is this new larger greenhouse gas monitoring network needed or not?
And on Saturday it was announced that Al Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth was debunked by kids. A school had an essay contest and kids put together their ideas on why Gore’s mockumentary was, well, bunk. If that wasn’t a bad enough day for the ex-veep, the incoming Italian Finance and Treasury Minister called biofuels a crime against humanity and referred to Gore as the head of an environmentalist cult. Poor Gore. No love this week.
