Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, October 15, 2009

A new Greenpeace report questions the premise of using forest conservation overseas as carbon offsets for U.S. pollution, noting a Bolivian project that once envisioned keeping 55 million metric tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere over 30 years has lowered that expectation to 5.8 million. "Can we afford to take a gamble on what the backers of these programs say haven't been as effective as they anticipated?" said Greenpeace spokesman Daniel Kessler.

The program is designed to deal with a crisis that doesn't exist.

Laugh and move on.

LOL

Carbon Capand Trade is just another way for Wall Street to stick its sticky fingers into the middle of a massive artificial market. Not to lower carbon emissions, but to act as a private tax on a universal problem. It serves no meaningful public purpose.

Plus, planting trees doesn't get the women libbies excited like chasing down whalers on the high seas.

Also, real men go whaling, none of this pussy lumberjack shit.

What the hell would you know about the high seas?

Set him loose in the Pacific in a rowboat and find out.

What whalers? Dude you have a problem with reality? Die and do yourself a favor, start over.

Whale Wars, dumbass.

What whalers?

Their teachers all claimed they are creative.

Why does pollution eliminate so many species yearly but not the rtards on this thread. Ignorance is LOL.

Whale Wars, dumbass.

Who you calling a dumbass fuzzy nuts? Your comprehension of reality is about as twisted as Pee Wee Hermans and your calling me a dumbass?

What the Greenpeace group is saying is assholes in the corporate world of America are using the program as a excuse to continue screwing the world by playing a shell game. If you can't figure that out you are the dumbass RR.

"What the Greenpeace group is saying is assholes in the corporate world of America are using the program as a excuse to continue screwing the world by playing a shell game."

Exactly. Al Gore is leading the charge and winning awards for it. LOL

Now that's a profound thought. Unfortunately, that may be the end result, along with the rest of the normal people.

Al Gore is winning awards for polluting America?

Another Pee Wee Herman look alike has stepped up to the plate.

I think these crazy stunts are beginning to wear off, slowly. A new documentary film: "Not Evil Just Wrong" is a change. Hopefully, lots of ordinary folks will see the film and realize just how stupid the environmentalists are; but I doubt it. First of all, the theaters are all in the hands of the very people this film is aimed at, especially the small, independent art houses, which can usually be counted on to run this kind of documentary; and they certainly will not admit heretics into their house. This means that people will have to actively seek the film out. And who's going to do that? Only the people who already know what's what. Thus, I seriously doubt the film will have any kind of substantial effect on public opinion. And even if millions of people saw it and were convinced, it wouldn't stop Congress and the state legislatures from continuing to pass silly "green" laws to strangle our economy and reduce our freedom. It's been clear for a long time that Congress pays no attention to public opinion. They don't have to: each member's re-election is virtually assured unless he gets caught with a mistress or an adolescent male lover.

And, by the way, mea sententia, the film should be titled "Not Merely Wrong, But Truly Evil."

"A crisys that never existed...."

Aren't the glaciers melting and sea levels rising? Does it really matter why?

Let's say human activity has nothing to do with it, so what? Some island nations will be flooded into nonexistence pretty quickly in geological time. If sea level rise doesn't somehow stop by itself, what are we going to do?

Where's the planning for potential loses of almost entire American states and many of our largest cities? Is there hope the increase in water will be so incremental we can move places like Houston at our leisure?

I hate to bring this up when some are fretting about the threat of independent movie theatres to the Republic.

Evacuate.

You missed the point entirely, Liberty (an oxymoran of a moniker). First of all, I doubt you read the article, along with the rest of the right wing know-it-alls here, because if you did you would realize that the issue is about corporate America playing games to ignore the carbon pollution of the coal industry by not cutting down forests in tropical places instead of planting new ones, and then claiming they are doing their part to clean up the world. These are the same assholes that advertise on TV every day about how much they are doing to combat pollution and rapid climate change.

Our only hope now, is to stop cutting all virgin forests worldwide, and replanting areas that have been clear cut and no longer producing anything to counter CO2 emissions. In other words they should not be bargaining chips at all.

The fact is old growth forests absorb a lot less carbon then new forests. Like I said it's a shell game big business is playing and it's got nothing to do with cap and trade as proposed by Al Gore and associates.

"Evacuate..."

Wel, of course. Begging the question of how many millions must leave and where, exactly, they are going to go. Begging an entire raft of questions.

It's easier to worry about art movie houses.

Begging the question of how many millions must leave and where, exactly, they are going to go.

It's a good question. Soylent green? I doubt that any country on earth could handle the refugees from a substantial increase in sea levels. There are too many people who live close to the ocean. It's not an instant catastrophe, though, so the mass migration will be spread out over time and hopefully manageable.

"Al Gore is winning awards for polluting America?"

No, for making his movie raising "global warming awareness" while at the same time selling a fake remedy. For now on, just assume comments that go right over your head aren't meant for you.

"Another Pee Wee Herman look alike has stepped up to the plate."

I've never seen you so I'll have to take your word for it.

I believe I made the point, Ringmaster. It is not about right or left wings-those are the labels of the past. It is about "crazies" that want to control everyone else's live, while indulging in a "decadent capitalism" (ie: Algore) a new nomenclatura, if you will. It is about State-ism vs. Freedom. Both sides are well represented in the former. Dumbing-down of the population has succeeded beyond expectation and the correction is inevitable. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance!

1st is was the coming doom of the new "Ice Age" in the 70's, (look it up). Then "Global Warming". Since this new scam, (money grab) hasn't panned out ie; the world has cooled over the last 9 years.... it's now called "Climate Change". For eons the earths climate has changed. Only in recent times has man figured out a way to profit from it. And it's because, this one time in the history of our planet it's all your fault!
Give me a break. You and I will pay for this "Man Made" "Climate Change" one way or another. I personally will work the rest of my life and give all my earnings to Al Gore. That should insure my family and friends future. He and that other guy won the top awards for "Saving Us" so I guess we have nothing to worry about. I think the change is on.....

Serious droughts since 1972 increase concern about climate, with cooling from aerosols suspected to be as likely as warming; scientists are doubtful as journalists talk of a new ice age.

And our resident leftards here at the DR will wave the pom-poms for it, and feel good inside about doing something. Better than "nothing."

Hey Global Warming loons, it's fucking really cold here in Maine right now, send us some heat.

Damn straight. Flying around in his private jet and having that starter castle does qualify him as putting more polution in the air in one year than most do in a lifetime. Do you realize his jet burns about 400 galons per hour? Do you know how many hours it would take my Mustang or my pickup to burn that much fuel?

Zat. The flat earth theory isn't new either... doesn't make it right.

A coin is flat and round and, when spinning, appears to be a sphere. I think the Earth is shaped like a quarter.





*Not serious Zat, so calm down.

Zat's going to need to have his carpet replaced after that one.

Well, one thing is obvious from listening to the right wing cranks around here, they wouldn't know who farted in the elevator if they were the only one in it.

Got any more lies?

In 1974 I was a young boy then. I remember President Nixon's motorcade coming down I90 to open the 74 EXPO. I realized even at my young age that something was wrong. I mean there were all these long haired hippies lined up along the freeway. They were waving big signs as the president drove by. Most all the signs read "Stop The Ice Age" "Global Cooling" ect. I knew then I was being lied to. So, I guess it comes as no surprise the continuing lie, lie, lies.

Oh,

I am still waiting for all that global cooling?

Ta Da

Bobinspokane,

You should change your name for your own good here. It brings up two posters that you do not want to be associated with. Just FYI

I am still waiting for all that global cooling?

It has hit the northwest the past several years. I hope you didn't forget to winterize your travel trailer like my buddy did this year.

I am still waiting for all that global cooling?

According to the rtards it's already happening.

Damn straight. Flying around in his private jet and having that starter castle does qualify him as putting more polution in the air in one year than most do in a lifetime.

I didn't know one could earn a Nobel prize for that. LOL

You can learn a lot from a rtard.

What time does Zat get here? I dropped a bomb in one of his threads.

Mysterytoy, you couldn't drop a bomb on your own foot. Toilet mouth, BS and phoney info is not a bomb.

Maybe the sea level rising wouldn't be so bad after all--- we could get rid of the eastern seaboard states and the western most states and then be left with the folks with common sense-- ask yourselves, who and what agencies got us into this economic mess and where did they come from (other than George).

we could get rid of the eastern seaboard states and the western most states and then be left with the folks with common sense

So, I take it you are a centrist? How novel.

Yep, geographically, I am a centrist.

Begging the question of how many millions must leave and where, exactly, they are going to go.
