Heavy, wet snow. Powerlines are down all over town, and half the stoplights aren’t working. And it’s only the beginning.

So on TV just now was an ad for EcoCanteen. For just $9.95 plus shipping and handling you can have a bottle for your water! Plastic fills landfills!
The ad is geared for the eco-morons who can’t figure out that they can refill a plastic bottle. I can’t help but recall several scenes from the recent […]

Sustainable lingerie. Seriously. You can’t make this stuff up.

Tim Blair points to yet another example that ecomorons are the st00pidest excuses for human beings alive.
Conservationists are in a fix over endangered condors eating large numbers of protected species of deer in a reserve in the north of China.

Just to warn you: This is pretty distasteful.
The environuts were pushing a bill in New Hampshire, allowing dead bodies to be, and I quote,
New Hampshire lawmakers have upheld a state ban on dissolving human bodies into a soapy liquid as an alternative to cremation.
Okay, get it out of your system. On the count of three. […]

Green solutions:
Compact fluorescent light bulbs that melt and burn, wind turbines that generate no power, energy recovery systems that zap mechanics, clean technology that creates toxins, hybrids that hate winter, canvas shopping bags that are made from polypropylene, biodiesel that clogs in cold weather … and now a solar-powered toilet that can’t handle snow
Of course, […]

Once upon a time there was this latte liberal freshman Congressman . . .
A hydrogen fuel cell car driven Monday by U.S. Rep. Eric Massa to Washington, D.C., didn’t actually get him all the way there.
Massa had to be in the nation’s capital Tuesday for his swearing in as the 29th Congressional District’s new representative. […]

Global Warming Horror Flick Put On Ice

Tim Blair:
Seattle’s Winter Solstice Winterfest has been re-scheduled due to winter.
Also:
Lack of snow used to be cited as evidence of global warming. Now too much snow is cited as … evidence of global warming.

Tim Blair reviews a video.
This clip has it all, from an enviro-idiot point of view, including:

The adorable earth-concerned moppet who is smarter than everyone else
Claims of scientific unanimity on the issue of warming
The zombie businessman who Just Doesn’t Care
People actually running away from rising seas
Wild, all-encompassing predictions: “There’s going to be misery, wars, not enough […]

Oh, those silly ecomorons!
On days with decent wind – which occur frequently enough, since he can feel the breeze from Lake Michigan – the $16,000 Swift wind turbine can generate 1.5 kilowatts an hour, i.e., enough to power the average lightbulb for 15 hours.
Cost-benefit analysis, anyone? A commenter does the math:
Let’s see - the […]

So while waiting to put clothes in the dryer, I went out and did some errands, one of them going to Sears in search of a Mother Earth-raping battery for this camera. The politically correct, rechargeable, “green” POS lithium battery leaks power, so if I haven’t used the camera in a week, the battery’s dead.
Guess […]

Seriously. Liberals have gone off the deep end. Check this out.
Do you feel anxious when you see a television set left on standby? Does the sight of a plastic bottle haphazardly tossed into a paper-only recycling bin make you feel nauseous? Are you consumed with rage when someone has left an empty room and not […]

to hate Apple, that is: Environmentalists Cheer on Apple for Getting Greener.

Ace.
Well, now the chickens have come home to roost. European business leaders are threatening to take their businesses somewhere else where the environmental restrictions are not so damaging. They claim that the new carbon emissions offset programs amount to a “tax” (which they are, the EU just didn’t want to call it that) […]

Check out the latest doom and gloom dire warning about Mother Earth:
Flat TVs a ‘Climate Time Bomb’
Sleek and skinny, new televisions may have a greater effect on climate change than massive coal plants, scientists warn
And we just got one!

Even Salon hates Planet Green:
Concern for the environment is, among other things, an upper-middle-class privilege and a status marker. Planet Green turns the entire Earth into a lifestyle accessory, often to uniquely awful effect.
The most inane program in Planet Green’s initial lineup is, by a nose, Alter Eco, which, depressingly, finds Adrien Grenier behaving very […]

Electric cars kill polar bears!
When it comes to fighting global warming, Honda has rolled out the worst car on the planet: the new Clarity.
This is the first auto that runs on fuel cells ever offered to consumers. As Honda’s site explains,
Fuel cells produce electricity that can be used as a clean alternative to gasoline. The […]

Would somebody explain why it’s taken this dolt this long to figure it out?
The Government’s former chief scientific adviser has accused green activists of putting the fight against climate change at risk by wanting to take society back to the 17th century.
Sir David King, who is credited with convincing Tony Blair of the urgency of […]

Free carbon offsets! I’m going to print the certificate and frame it — maybe make a copy and turn it into a bumpersticker!

Hat tip: Van Helsing.

Technorati: ecology, environment, environmentalism, idiots, morons, moonbats, wackjobs, nutcases, ecoweenies, liberals, leftists, progressives, global warming, climage change, mother earth, gaia

It’s fascinating to observe how almost any old totalitarian racket becomes respectable once it’s […]

Thanks to Hot Air for this. “The more you burn, the more you earn!”

“Replace those fire-prone polluting forests with clean-burning hybrid trees!“

In the same story, we have the facts:
Four people have been arrested on arson suspicion so far and $US150,000 reward is offered for any information leading to further arrests.
And the “narrative”:
the fires currently devastating California are the latest sign of how climate change is affecting humanity
So did “climate change” somehow cause the arsonists to set […]

Yahoo:
The number of heat-related deaths in and around New York City will nearly double by 2050 - and could rise as high as 95 percent — due to global warming, if no efforts are made to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, a new study shows.
No such luck. Oh. Was that insensitive?

Tim Blair pays homage to The Prophet Al-Gore (PBUH). Steyn kneels in hoomageTM to the Goracle, while Professor Furedi invokes the Holy Sacrament of Powerpoint.
Our Prophet who art in a jet plane,
Hallowed be thy gut!
Thy presidency come!
Thy will be done!
In Jesusland as it is in Manhattan!
Give us this day our daily carbon credit,
And forgive us […]

Last weekend, we enhugened our carbon footprint by resurrecting that American tradition, the Sunday drive. We drove to the west side of the county and saw Philpsburg (for the first time). There’s supposed to be a 73-foot Santa somewhere there, but we couldn’t find it. How do you hide a 73-foot Santa?
We saw lots of […]

The plumber is gone, and the water works. What was the problem? There were two, both of them failed “energy saving” technology. The pressure reduction valve failed, so he took it out. The other problem was the little snorkel balls in the water heater. They put them in these days to keep heat from escaping […]

The plumber’s been here all morning. Still here, but it looks like solution is within sight — and it increases our carbon footprint!

Andrew Bolt:
Hysteria over ice melt at one end of the world, but near-silence at the ice increase at the other. Almost like someone was trying to fool you, or something.

Brown people cause global warming!

Yesterday or the day before, we found out that (oh no!) walking is worse for global warming climate change than driving your SUV (oh dear! walking makes The Earth Goddess cry! oh dear!). Today, we find that organic food also makes Mother Gaia sad!
Save the Earth! Drive SUVs and eat more meat!

Bitter points to this little gem from that modern-day Einstein, Paris Hilton:
Paris Hilton told Larry King that, postjail, she wants to do good.
First up?
“I ordered a Hummer hybrid,” she told Us on July 19.
Really?
“Such a car doesn’t exist,” a Hummer spokesman says.
Maybe she meant one of these.

And I quote:
Have you ever driven by a hippie, […]

Here’s what I want:

Saw it at the Boalsburg arts festival last weekend — and it gets 15 mpg in the city!
Actually, what I really want is an M1 Abrams.

Fully functional. And I do mean fully.

Live Earth Johannesburg Officials Blame Climate Change For Poor Turn-Out

The envirowackjobs somehow manage to outdo their own idiocy, delving for new depths of utter stupidity in search of global hysteria. Thanks to Tim Blair, I saw this Chicken Little story:
Boaters on Lake Superior said the water is so low it appears the world’s largest freshwater lake is disappearing.
The lake, which is about 18 inches […]
