Y2Kyoto: Reduce Your Carbon Lungprint

"The purpose of this scientific paper, therefore, is to bring to mind a particular activity that had previously been assumed virtuous but under the unerring eye of science has proved to be pernicious. That activity is exercise."

Heh! Proud to be doing my part in carbon sequestration. Donations gratefully accepted.

Don't worry about your carbon lungprint, or for that matter - the methane emmisions of the bovines of the world.

All we are doing here is returning CO2 or methane back into the atmosphere where it just recently came from.

Think about it. Where did that carbon come from that you just exhaled. Maybe from the celery stick you ate a while back that absorbed CO2 from the atmosphere and gave off some oxygen at the same time a few days or weeks ago.

We are not adding any *new* greenhouse gases to the atmosphere that was not there recently.

This has got to be a parody,in the best National Lampon fashion. Or he/she is really whacked out from exhaling to much CO2 laced wacky-tabaccy smoke.

Whacked or parody.

We've got to introduced laws controlling the spread of the most insidious of carbon emitters - respiration! Inhaling is not the problem, its the exhaling. To paraphrase David Miller, the social guru of our age, "nobody needs to exhale". The new slogan for Al Gore will be "Suck & Hold!"

Install more compact fluorescent lights, so plants photosynthesize all night, sequestering carbon dioxide and emitting oxygen. Extend daylight savings time to 24 hours a day. Build our commercial centers in the high arctic to take advantage of the 24 hour sun. We can beat this!

While out for a run yesterday, I was wondering when would someone recommend banning jogging to lower our collective carbon footprint? Jogging is mainly recreational as you end up exactly where you started. (This does not apply to running as a form of transportation as that will probably become mandatory.) Also a lot of people drive to a nice area for their run (in Saskatoon it's the river valley). I think they will reason that you must be receiving too many calories from your food ration credits ... wait they haven't issued those yet. I think they are part of the Green Shift Phase 2.

This may look far fetched but is it any crazier then ideas coming from the "one ply people"?

and for a few more giggles, Michael Mann, father of the over-cooked "Hockey Stick", the "scientist" who's work has been outed as deceitful is at it again.

And once again, he's getting his butt reamed for fraud, stupidity, bad work, poor "science" . . you name it.

Sex would have to be cut out. Lots of heavy-breathin going on.

That means the left is going to have to stop masturbating...

The natural consequence of accepting humans natural eminations as pollution is

1) reduce the number of humans, a long term goal of some....the question is who gets to choose.

2) humans can only exist in regulated environments. all human beings will now be refitted with rebreathers.

what other conclusion is possible here.

Wacked? Yes indeed. Quite clearly. This evil man Briggs and his readers even advocate murder:

Now finally there is support in what I have been advocating for months now, - that those who are physically fit should pay more “carbon tax” because they contribute mor carbon into the atmosphere than a couch potato.

I wonder if the GST(2) [Green “Shift” Tax] will gave those who are couch potatoes a break on their carbon imprint. The LIEberals under DeYawn, and Iggy said there would be no more changes to the GST(2), but perhaps if the couch potatoes get a petition they might change the LIEberls minds.

Pol Pot could reduce emisisons by a third, give him the environment portfolio.

So the oxygen we need to go on living comes from plants as a byproduct and plants need carbon dioxide to go on living. So the envirowhackos say we should eat plants to reduce environmental degradation. Does anyone see a pattern?
