Are you sitting down?

Okay, here’s the bombshell.

The volcanic eruption in Iceland, since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2emissions on our planet – all of you.

Of course you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress – it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow, and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans, and all animal life.

I know, it’s very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of:

driving Prius hybrids,

buying fabric grocery bags,

sitting up till midnight to finish your kid’s “The Green Revolution” science project,

throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper,

putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir,

selling your SUV and speedboat,

vacationing at home instead of abroad,

nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle,

replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs...

well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.

The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth’s atmosphere in just four days - yes - FOUR DAYS ONLY by that volcano in Iceland, has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon.

And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud any one time - EVERY DAY.

I don’t really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its YEARS on earth. Yes folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year – think about it.

Of course I shouldn’t spoil this touchy-feely tree-hugging moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keep happening, despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.

And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years.

And it happens every year.

Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you on the basis of the bogus “human-caused” climate change scenario.

Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention “Global Warming” any more, but just “Climate Change” - you know why?

It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bull artists got caught with their pants down.

And just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme – that whopping new tax – imposed on you, that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer. It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure.

But hey, relax, give the world a hug and have a nice day!

PS: I wonder if Iceland is buying carbon offsets?

Maybe he isn’t sure he wants the nomination?

Seven more tries and he can top Harold Stassen.

I'm convinced he's mentally ill.

LOL. As if his candidacy wasn't already on life support, he's now joining Newtie and Nan on the couch?!

The world is not getting warmer, and neither is his presidential campaign.

Just like Newt, Mr. RINO-care shows right out of the gate why he’s unfit for office.

As far as I am concerned, he is done. Probably ruled him out before this, but thought he would be better than nothing. Along with Newt.

(wringing hands...) How are we ever going to find someone who truly represents us?

Holy cow. It sounds like he’s angling for a Romney/Gingrich ticket. If someone doesn’t rip the wheels off his wagon pretty darn soon, this is going to get real scary.

Facepalm is my first reaction, but I supect this is just politics; Kyoto is dead, cap and trade won’t happen, etc., everyone knows it. Conservatives aren’t the intended audience here, it’s moderates, independents, and disaffected Dems for the general election. Whether that makes for a smart primary strategy is questionable, especially in the early states, but they must figure he can hold out.

I’m waiting for the Romneybots to come on and spin his statement.

Mark my words...Romney will be the GOP candidate.

Progressives have control of our country.
