Let's kill all people whose "carbon footprint" is larger than we think it should be.

That'll teach 'em.

This is not sarcasm.

It will eventually come to this.

Environmentalism is a religion, and "sustainability" is its "salvation."

Yeah, how dare those people enjoy themselves by eating out and going on vacations. The government should outlaw restaurants and holidays. Then they can institute government approved rations to ensure that everyone's carbon footprint is equal.

I want to know what the 'carbon footprint' will be for algore's global warming concert this summer.

For starters, how much jet fuel will be burned to bring in the performers?

How much trash will be generated by the audience?

I will also be paying attention to which companies are sponsoring this event.

I agree. I have long suspected that, within the next 10 years, the next step on the slippery slope will be "family-guided assisted euthanasia" or something like that. I can even imagine some state governments giving tax breaks to families that choose this "option" for their elderly members.
