“The new crusade “responds to climate change by urging universities, churches, pension funds and other big institutional investors” to destroy petroleum and coal companies by dumping their shares and reinvesting in a “fossil-free clean-energy economy”

Uh, dumping stock is hardly going to “destroy” these companies as it simply means smarter people will get the stock for a bargain price, and the sellers instead “investing” in the “clean-energy economy” will lose all of their money, thereby becoming non-factors in future tilting-at-windmill crusades.

I agree with the author of the article: all of that sounds like a really good idea to me.

“The Left should do us and the earth a favor by killing themselves. Their corpses will leave an acceptably small carbon footprint.”

Plus their corpses could be turned into Soylent Green that could be offered to the remaining leftists as a environmentally responsible alternative to eating other kinds of meat.

Back in HS I carried James Burke’s original Connections and Day The Universe Changed. A few of the teaching crowd were kind of irked but a few approved.

Loved those books and TV series. Used them myself.

I’ll wait for the food Nazis to respond to this, but I’m not holding my breath.

I suspect most of these guys fear the mixing of plant and animal genes, as do I. The other stuff is just speeding up the process we have used since the beginning.

Brilliant books and miniseries both.

I don’t see how this is even practical, as animal genes are way more complex than plant genes. Not only that, animal genes probably would not work in a vacuum; i.e. they probably depend on other genes within their original genome.

I think you will find that they have already done some of this.

One of my favorite Al Gore quotes.
The other, where he claimed that the North Polar ice cap would be gone by 2013 has completely disappeared from the Internet. If you find it, post me a link.

Al Gore - The center of the earth is millions of degrees

Come on now. All “real” scientists know that 5000 Deg C=several million degress. Give or take........ As far as the algore comment about all the ice being gone. I think the link is buried under the polar ice cap.
