After all the preaching coming from the newspapers, I think they should make the first sacrifice and help us lower our footprint. Never sell another paper to help save the planet.

Think of all the trees they kill, every day, year after year! Why aren't the econuts shouting about this instead of trying to shut down Alberta, Saskatchewan and Newfouldland?

Man, these paradoxes sure are paradoxical!

*shoots self in foot*

OW! That hurts!

Werem't computers supposed to help create a (news)paperless society?

If there is no newspaper, which corner would the huggrifters of the world choose?

Go New Media!

Well, that just goes to show ya! Where God closes a door, he does open a window! I had been possessed with the idea that a global warming catastrophe was immanent, caused exclusively by the massive taxation measures being imposed by governments to control CO2. Now, learning that these same policies may bring newspapers like the Toronto Star closer to financial ruin makes my heart ring with optimism.

Could the Red TorStar go down on principle?

TorStar announcement (in my dreams):

Due to the inordinant amount--28,000 tons, to be exact--of carbon dioxide our operation spews into the atmosphere, which causes a dangerous buildup of CO2 gas in the atmosphere, leading to the earth's warming up to such dangerous and unprecedented levels that the health of the planet and its inhabitants are imperiled, we have made a decision to cease and desist decimating both fossil fuels and our forests and are shutting down. We have come to the realization that the uncontestable violence the TorStar has done to the environment is unacceptable and we, therefore, (self-righteously and proudly)--and not with a little regret--are vacating our premises in smoggy Toronto to move to British Columbia to hug a tree.

Did I say in my dreams?

And just last night i got an harassing phone call from one of the Star's chain of newspapers, trying to push their eco destructive product on me. Insisting that i try it free for a month, no doubt hoping i'll get hooked on the pleasures of carrying a recycling box around.
I suppose i could have delivered a speech about the environment - maybe next time.

A goal of radical environmentalists is human population reduction ultimately, but human footprint reduction in the short term. Printing presses (all) seem like a legitimate target. Except for their printing presses, of course. :)

Carbon Tax: Finally a way to tax air.

When some bright spark in the envirowanker ranks turns his global warming artillery on the newspapers, it will be miraculously revealed that CO2 induced "climate change" is doodoo. The fight will then shift to a freedom of speech platform, and the enviros will be identified with Nazis in the MSM.

I predict this shift will take about a week. Maybe less, depends how harsh the threat to the MSM is.

That get's me thinking about how bad toilet paper is. Wonder what the equivalent numbers are?

Just think, use about a 18 inches per swipe, two, maybe three or even four swipes per visit times the number of daily visits and WOW, you have a planetary emergency.

And women, given the biological necessity of the squat position, are worse Climate Destroyers than men.

Next time you see an ecoGrennieJihadi going ballistic on how bad humans are, ask them if they deprived their lifestyle of toilet paper yet ?

It's a personal choice to Go Green !!

Look at this another way and it is a benefit to the environment. Each of those papers that they produce, that go to the landfill (not recycled) are locking the carbon that the trees sucked out of the air into the ground. Sounds like a cheap carbon sink to me. So remember to put your paper in the garbage can not the blue box!

So how much carbon is being produced by TIME and NEWSWEEK while thier producing all this stop global warming save the earth bull kaka poppycock?

That was pretty good. I've always known they would figure a way.

Have you tried leaves yet??? It's almost thexual... once you get your finger up there, you can "root" around a bit if you like.

Carbon tax, carbon footprint, carbon credits, I can't even stand the term carbonated drinks any more.

Would like to leave a heavy carbon footprint on Kyoto obsessed Dion's backside since he's a carbon copy of a person totally disconnected with reality.
Make that a lineup, Dion, Gore and Suzuki.

Punishing Canadians through taxation by bringing in Kyoto dictates through the back door, Dion has as much chance of winning an election as a one legged person in an ass kicking contest.

How about a HOT AIR TAX to be payed by the biggist producers of HOT AIR namley AL GORE and the greens start by making them pay taxes for their own flapping pieholes MAKE GREENPEACE pay for evey time they open their big fat lying mouths

My most recent contribution to saving the planet was canceling my subscription to the Ottawa Citizen.

The Citizen's socialist rant-meister Susan Riley should be pleased that her snarky tirades are helping save the planet by inspiring people to not read them.
