If even slight global cooling remains evidence of global warming, what isn’t evidence of global warming? What we have here is a nonfalsifiable hypothesis, logically indistinguishable from claims for the existence of God. This doesn’t mean God doesn’t exist, or that global warming isn’t happening. It does mean it isn’t science.
Hey, they’ve made a living exploiting different strands of Christianity. Is it any surprise to see them working together to exploit a new religion? Of course not. In fact, the climate change religion looks to be even more lucrative than anything they’ve exploited before.
While Reverend Al Sharpton and Pat Robertson have different views on most issues, when it comes to the urgency of protecting the planet, they agree.
“I am honored that Al Gore asked me to be a part of this campaign urging people to take care of the planet,” Robertson said on the Christian Broadcasting Network. “It’s just common sense that we ought to be good stewards of the environment and do everything within our power to protect this fragile planet that we all live on.”
At the taping of this clip on Virginia Beach, the two joked and prayed together. If these polar opposites can come together on this important and moral issue, why can’t you?
Richard Adams has an interesting take on environmentalism as religion (scientists and socialists using history to predict the future — while abandoning the scientific method in the process).
“He’ll be horrified after learning it was delivered by plane. Paul has always campaigned for green issues and he can’t understand why anyone would send an enormous car from Japan to Britain on a plane.”
Carbon offsetting firm CO2balance.com said the plane journey would have caused a carbon footprint of 38,050kg, compared to 397kg for a three-week boat journey.
A carbon footprint is the measure of the impact that human activity has on the environment and is measured in units of carbon dioxide.
Co2balance.com Director Mike Rigby said: “That is the equivalent of driving the car around the world six times.”
A spokesman for Swissport, the freight handling company who unloaded the car at Heathrow, said: “Obviously we were happy for the business but everyone was shocked. The carbon footprint must be enormous.”
Paddy Gillett of the anti-aviation lobby group Plane Stupid, said: “For anyone to pretend that a private limousine is in any way eco-friendly is like pretending a private jet is. It’s total greenwash.”
Sean Penn is using a lot of corn to drive across the country. He thinks he is helping the poor, but he is only encouraging energy policies which are destined to lead to higher core food prices. Sean Penn is a douche maximus.
