International Change Your Lightbulb To Save The Planet Day*

Wait a minute, did that volcano violate international emissions standards? Clearly Mother Nature is anti-environment.

Sadly, there is no punishment I could suggest that wouldn't sound like a double entendre. I really did try - strip mining, drilling, fracking. Honestly, English. You have failed me.

Kind of makes wealth distribution small in comparison, doesn't it?

I will give up my 100 Watt (A Watt is a unit of power North of
60) Incandescent light bulb when they pry it from my cold-dead hand!

"If you build it, they will come." By "It," I mean power plants.
And by "They," I mean high paying industrial jobs.

I once spent more than $200.00 on a Lincoln 18v cordless grease
gun on Amazon. It was made in CHINA!

Feeling a little bit better about this purchase, I ordered a
Williams brand 3/4" impact socket set on Amazon. When I got
it, I found out it was made in TAIWAN! Williams was one of
the oldest and greatest manufacturers of hand tools in America
for more than 100 years!

Guess they both got tired of being ass-raped with a 40 grit
sandpaper condom by the government and paying sky-high energy
prices. How in the Hell could I possibly blame them?

This was an eruption in the Alutian Islands a couple of years ago. But, hey, there goes Al Gores carbon budget.

That image is spectacular.

And this eruption once again proves why Gaia-worship is pointless:

Mother Nature doesn't care.

Gaia has gone flatulent, - why can't stuff like this happen in the fruit fly's back yard.

It is beautiful.

What JJM and Occam said.

Leonard Jones, I have enough 100 Watt light bulbs stashed away for my lifetime and will be able to bequeath some to my children.

Doggone it, Kate. I saw the caption on your post and ran right away to go change a lightbulb (looking for one o' them nice eco-friendly mercury-containing twisty fluorescents) before I realized you were pulling our leg.

So cool. Look at the heat island. The condensation cloud near the top as it cools and the pyro clastic flow down to the sw.

Sarychev volcano 2009 Come on Kate... As cool as this is, it is old news by now.

Al those carbon offsets ruined!!

Now that's what I call a carbon emission!

I will say that now that 100 watt equivalant LED bulbs are available, I buy them and like them. Those Mr Softee mercury bulbs were just one more example of a green left/fascist coalition's misguided/evil clusterfuck.

everything has been said that an intelligent person can understand. wow. one volvano and more CO2 than billions of humans can exude in years.

I am not confused about anything North of 60.

Anybody who thinks we cannot or should not build new generating
capacity is seriously delusional, and deserves to be shivering
in the dark when the train wreck occurs!

Chinese tools, made to be sold, not used

Theres a real diffrence bewteen Bright Bulbs like we have in our homes and Dim Bulbs that are in Washington D.C. and the various eco-freak groups and the dimist of the dim-bulbs is AL GORE
