George Carlin - Saving The planet
youtube ^ | February 24, 2008 | George Carlin

George Carlin on environmentalism. Some inappropriate language. Not language that use or like but he totally demolishes the eco-wackos so I found it easy to overlook. Hilarious, brilliant, powerful.

I miss Carlin, even though he became a bitter, old atheist.

Really the words of Carlin, or one of the thousand bogus email scripts falsely attributed to him?

It’d be fun to hear him on the recent comic’s fine paid to the lesbian heckler.

Carlin couldn’t put two words together without one of them being filthy, but he was laugh until you pee your pants hilarious!

Yeah, I remember when he was a bitter, young atheist.

When it comes to size, man is pretty much bacteria on a rock when compared to the earth. What makes us think we can affect 5 quadrillion metric tons of atmosphere? Especially a gas like CO2 which only makes up 0.038%?? Do we honestly think we could even remotely raise that level against 5 QUADRILLION tons of a GAS? And even by some miracle we raised it to 0.05% or even 0.1% how can liberals STILL equate that to a planet like Venus which has 90% C02?? THAT is global warming by CO2, not freakin CO2 at zero percent!

That’s an amazing routine. Thanks for posting it.

Carlin will not be replaced. De-evolution won’t allow it. Louis CK has occasional flashes of Carlin-esque wit, but then he descends into mundane potty humor.

Check out Louis CK’s bit on the N word.

And of course his Everthing’s Amazing and Nobody’s Happy bit

Oh, please. Did you even watch it? In the entire video, there are only a few instances of foul language. Just bleep those out and it would be suitable for even kids to hear.

“It’d be fun to hear him on the recent comic’s fine paid to the lesbian heckler”

I remember him saying something in one of his bits: “Basically, I like to piss off any group that takes itself too seriously, and it does NOT take a lot of imagination to piss off a feminist!”

Thanks!

My favorite weather report:

I’ve always thought that this is one of Carlin’s best pieces.

He may have leaned nearly 90 degrees left, but the man had a mind, and could spot hypocrisy a mile away.

I think that little speech would get you jail time in some states, these days. And you'd be taking your life in your hands, saying such things on any modern college campus.

You've got far too much common sense my friend. Please report to your nearest re-education facility at once.

Always enjoyed Carlin's irreverence to the uninformed beliefs. Here's another by a more serious celebrity.
