Sorry but i have bad news........

[goldhound]

For all of you out there in America and across the globe who have fought so hard to tackle the hideous enemy of our planet, namely carbon emissions, that bogus god you worship named "Climate Change" or "Global Warming", there is some really bad news that will be very painful for you to process. But it is my duty to pass it on to you anyway.

Are you sitting down?

Okay, here's the bombshell. The current volcanic eruption going on in Iceland, since it first started spewing volcanic ash a week ago, has, to this point, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet. Not only that, this single act of God has added emissions to the earth estimated to be 42 times more than can be corrected by the extreme human regulations proposed for annual reductions.

I know, I know.... (have a group hug)...it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up til midnight to finish your kid's "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, going on vacation to a city park instead of Yosemite, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your $1 light bulbs with $10 light bulbs ...well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just the past week.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in the past week has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And, those hundreds of thousands of American jobs you helped move to Asia with expensive emissions demands on businesses... you know, the ones that are creating even more emissions than when they were creating American jobs, well that must seem really worthwhile now.

I'm so sorry. And I do wish that there was some kind of a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the brush fire season across the western U.S.A. will start in about two months and those fires will negate your efforts to reduce carbon emissions in our world for the next two years.

So, grab a Coke, give the world a hug, and have a nice day!

Thank you for this post. It is like a breath of fresh air. Believe you have hit right on a basic fact that many groups conveniently forget - nature is - really - awesome. And mankind is really kind of puny.....

Please take this in the "jesting" manner that it is intended Only -

Fire up all your big V8's - Take up smoking again as there is more carbon/gunk falling all the time in the air (or get a sealed chamber) -

Dump your trash in open trenches - Get all the coal fired power generators going -

And as you said the fire season over there has not even started -

We keep trying to do our small bit, but this is gone far beyond our personal control -

I forgot to add the millions of gallons of oil still pumping out of that oil rig -

Yes, yes, and yes.

All another excuse for fuel costs to rise. My big V8 is necessary to my producing food for the lily white and green masses.

I heard a hooker in Los Angeles did more than OK with/in the Prius.. and I also heard the donkey was involved a time or too as well. But that's mostly rumor..

Sorry Wayne; I DO try but sometimes I simply can't pass up an opening like that..

If that lousy "Cap and Trade" tax passed, we'd be screwed

The asteroid thing is still a theory -

Was it internal ?? Not external ??

We are NOW getting similar results as all the theories put up by the Experts -

Lets start building bigger space ships and go to ????

Build the ships and they will come.

Don't get me wrong; if I could afford it I would living off the grid with wind, hydro-electric and solar power in a 100% "green" home and filtering ground, river and rainwater for my drinking, washing and bathroom needs. Long before man made an appearance, volcanoes were spewing pollutants into the atmosphere almost from the day the magma on earth formed a solid (more or less) crust. Fortunately, on along the time-line by a billion or two years, while the volcanoes were still doing their worst, the Sahara desert was full of lush forests, no-one had cut down a O-producing single tree in the north and south American continents, or anywhere else, and the melting ice-ages were making seawater that just happen to absorb CO
