Carbon Belch Day
Posted June 3rd, 2008 at 8:41 PM by Jon HamTired of being mau-maued by greenies? Here’s you chance to fight back, and work against the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act at the same time:
Smoke cigars, do a partial load of laundry, drink bottled water, and feel no shame. That’s what a campaign against a carbon trading bill is urging.
The latest parody of the proliferation of “green” social-networking sites and eco-friendly events comes via “Carbon Belch Day,” a campaign from the conservative Grassfire.org alliance that encourages people to pollute as much as possible on June 12.
The effort is aimed at ginning up opposition to the Lieberman-Warner cap-and-trade legislation, said Grassfire.org spokesman Ron De Jong.
“Somehow, this bogus idea of environmental indulgences has become accepted as a real and valid way to deal with our carbon guilt,” De Jong wrote in an e-mail.

[...] Jon Ham says that June 12 is Carbon Belch Day. I think I’ll have a nice little burn at the other property. [...]

At least 1 cigar a day is now required just to keep the frost off the daisies!
