I've been on the fence about this thing until America's most highly-paid newsman wrote this on her blog:
"And all the experts agree. Well, almost every expert. (There are a handful of scientists -- many of them on the payroll of big oil companies -- who wonder if global warming is a reality.)"
Oil companies. I should have known. They want us all dead so they can have all the oil to themselves. Still, as a Republican, the question I really have to ask is, what's in it for me??

We have to do something about this, like now. As Al Gore said while snarfing up his well-deserved Oscar, this is a moral issue.
I came up with this helpful list. Clip and save:
Plug in your clocks only when you absolutely have to know what time it is. If you need the alarm, get up five minutes early to set it.
Al Gore says cigarettes are a significant cause of global warming, so quit smoking and sell him the carbon credits.
Your kids are useless for pushing your car up to highway speeds, but they can increase your mileage considerably around town.
Use your headlights only when there's no moon, and remember, your horn uses less energy than your turn signal.
Stairs make you huff and puff and expel carbon dioxide. Use the elevator. And sports are carbon-intensive too, so do 'em on your X-box.
Take as long as you want browsing in the fridge. Leaving the door open cools the world off.
Down more Slurpees, or better yet, nice frosty margaritas. See, this isn't so bad.
Lower the thermostat in your Gulfstream jet, and make the help wear sweaters.
We need our corn for ethanol. Switch from Fritos to pork rinds.

LOL!

Ahh, the virtues of selfishness. How many on the religious right detest that?
There's got to be a better angle
A curious non-sequitur indeed on a humor thread...
Those stupid enough to believe this claptrap should put their heads firmly between their legs and kiss their butt goodby.
How is the part you quoted, and responded to a non-sequitur?
Proof of global warming.
It's a question without presuppositions. It can't be a non-sequitur.
Iowahawk is more humourous http://iowahawk.typepad.com/iowahawk/2006/05/ten_things_you_.html
Well, I say bring on the global warming... with three more inches of snow, last night, I welcome global warming right now! Heat, Heat.... give me heat.
No more polar bears? Great...more baby seals for us to club!
Yum...baby seal burgers
I'm doing my part and didn't even know it.
What's a Slurpee? ; - )
Al Gore, the planet's rectal thermometer, said so. ô¿ô¬
Yea, save the corn chips for when you have to hail a cab in MPLS only....
Thanks.
(heh heh! Goron is never going to live that down.)
Thats the whole joke. If the planet is really warming that fast you better invest in a cave with grow lights and battery systems.
I stand corrected.
In a satire piece about global warming you see fit to introduce a seemingly unrelated commentary on the apparent hypocrisy of the Religious Right.
Of course, I could be mistaken, but I saw no indication that it was simply anything more than a negative remark.
Am I mistaken, or did you really intend to make the unsatrical assertion that the Religious Right is hypocritical?
Of course, I could take a chill pill, which is what I expected to do coming into a humorous thread regarding global warming and Al Gore, and make the assumption that you were being equally lighthearted.
Would that be an appropriate approach?
Zon: It's a question without presuppositions. It can't be a non-sequitur. 12
I stand corrected.
Good for you.
In a satire piece about global warming you see fit to introduce a seemingly unrelated commentary on the apparent hypocrisy of the Religious Right. [Emphasis mine.]
I posted what I thought as I read the words I quoted. "Seemingly unrelated" Emphasis on seemingly. How many on the liberal left detest the virtue of selfishness? How many on the religious right detest the virtue of selfishness? You assumed hypocrisy was a point I was making. You assumed wrong. You assumed the religious right, not how many on the religious right. Any X can cause any Y?
Zon: How many on the religious right detest that? 4
Would that be an appropriate approach?
You chose. If you're asking for my opinion then, do whatever is in your best interest so long as it doesn't initiate force against anyone.
Good Grief! Who talked about initiating force?
If you have to explain it, it's not funny.
My SUV is powered by Al Gore Carbon Credits.
Very funny, especially on clocks and fritos.

Zon: You chose. If you're asking for my opinion then, do whatever is in your best interest so long as it doesn't initiate force against anyone. 29
Good Grief! Who talked about initiating force?
I did. How in the world can you respond to a post that mentions initiation of force and imply not to know who talked about it? Sheesh!
If you have to explain it, it's not funny.
I didn't write it with the intent of it being funny. It was just a thought I had and chose to post it.
LOL, COMMIT SUICIDE?!! I knew that one was coming.
Going green is so easy even a caveman can do it!!!!
1. hold you breath as long as you can and only exhale when you think you're going to die.
2. Shower twice a month and go to the bathroom in a hole in the backyard.
3. instead of using toilet paper, use your newspaper. But still recycle them after you've wiped yourself.
4. stop buying paper towels and instead use a washcloth. Clean the washcloth once a week.
5. bring tote bags to the grocery store and don't put ANYTHING including fruit, veggies or meat products in plastic bags. Place your fresh produce DIRECTLY on the filty register belts and next to cleaning products.
6. Never, EVER travel more than 10 miles from home, unless you HAVE to.
7. Do not EVER turn on the heat or air conditioning in the house or car. In the winter, wear several layers of clothing and in the summer, keep all windows open and wear a bathing suit (or nothing) in the house.
8. Do not turn your winshied defroster on in the winter, even if you can't see a single thing!!!!! Every time your window ices up, pull over to the side of the road and scrape it off until you can see.
9. Live on a diet of organic soy based products, fruits, pasta, nuts and veggies. Feed these foods to babies and your pets.
10. Buy all clothing and furnature at yard sales or thrift stores. This includes business attire and wedding dresses.
Dang it! Now I've got a perfectly good Bloody Mary spewed all over my keyboard.
Our furnace/air conditioner went out this morning. So I will have carbon credits for sale. It's still cold in the morning her in Jawjuh, and hot in the afternoon.
Lots of carbon credits.
