Environmentalists!

This one's going into the environment bit of a scuzzy tabloid newspaper tomorrow.
Normally the section is full of pro-environmentalist stuff.
They're in for a fucking shock when they read this. Arf arf.

Mr Jonathan Porritt, a minister with ideas about the environment, says that there are too many people in the world, and that the more people there are, the more climate change there will be, (No doubt the government will use this as an excuse to make people apply for a licence to reproduce) so here is the chance to show how much you love the planet. Kill yourselves. If you really care about the planet, and really think that one person can make a difference, you would remove the burden of yourself from it.
If not, I'll assume that your cause is not, as you say, to make the ecology of the world constant (in spite of the fact it's constantly changing) but you will have revealed it as a mean-spirited drive to badger normal people, and mislead the government, to make yourselves feel important. If you don't think killing your one self will have much of a positive impact, then my one self can't have much of a negative impact.
Please stop breaking my car's cloth roof to push through your leaflets. Half the time you're trying to persuade me to support your cause, the other half you're victimising me for not living exactly the way you want everyone to. I can't afford to waste energy. Neither can the vast majority of people. But now you're actually blaming people just for being alive, and for having children. If you're willing to break my car windows and my car roof (criminal damage) because you think it's killing the atmosphere, are you next going to start attacking mothers (assault) outside maternity hospitals for having babies which will grow up to use more of the world's energy?
Or, as I've already said, if you're that upset about the impact of one person, delete one person; yourself.

My e-mail address is going on the by-line.
Should be interesting to see what responses I get from it.
I'll pick out the good ones, if there are any.
I'll have to read the blurb sometime.
Baby power :D
I find chess fanatics to be rather pleasant.
I agree with you. They should save us all with their smug-assed superiority complexes, and do themselves in, like slashing their wrists in a park, where their blood will nourish the grass! Or they can go bury themselves in the garden. Miracle Grow has nothing on corpses for fertilizer.
I think we should be more earth friendly, certainly here in the US Great Southwest, we should have solar furnaces online, because we have so much avaialable sunlight.
We should have windfarms, and off-shore dynamos running with the tides.
But (and this is a BIG butt) I am annoyed by most environmentalists because of thir rhetoric. They scream and whine, and protest, and they DRIVE to these protests.
There is a twink on our local furry mailing list who uses his amazing powers over the internet to find "facts" to back up all his petty arguments, like one just this week about Earthday, and how much mercury is in those new twisty lightbulbs.
I hate those people the worst, they only mention facts that support their particular arguments, and then they get all high n mighty on you when you admit that you've not heard of those findings, and they say stuff like, Oh, You are just ignorant...
Gawd I wanna punch those people out.
Thing about solar furnaces is this:
the whole deal with climate change is that because of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Logically heat can't travel through the vaccuum of space (which is why vaccuum flasks keep drinks hot/cold) so it can't really get out of the atmosphere anyway, but apparently carbon dioxide slows down this process which isn't even happening. Because of this, too much of the sun's "heat" is being captured in the atmosphere, and warming the skies. Solar furnaces capture even more of the sun's energy. Then it concentrates it. Then it uses it in a way which still produces carbon dioxide.
That rhetoric is present in everything, you know. There's a car that parks not far from here, a Volkswagen, with a "get Britain out of Europe - GB Independence" sticker in the window. Also, vegetarians, who refuse to eat meat, even when it's already dead, on the table in front of them, and no-one else wants it; the animal did not die for them, but now some of it died in vain, it paid the ultimate price, just to be shunned and rejected for being an animal.
Same with those people and their facts. I'm not often wrong about cars, but when I am, I'm happy enough to admit it, and that much better for doing so. I was chatting to someone last week about the Volkswagen R32, versus the Séat Leon Cupra. I've driven both cars, and I found the R32 to be way better in every respect, yet this person brought up a wave of facts and figures (most of which turned out to be false, after I had checked up on them) claiming that the Cupra would shit on the R32 from a great height. But since I wasn't armed with a bunch of numbers, that fact that I'd used both cars and they hadn't was irrelevant, and they... how shall I put this, disrespectfully disrepected my professional experience.
Not all environmentalists are cheats and frauds; it is no lie that most glaciers in Europe are all but gone, or that the Arctic ice cap is melting faster than ever. Even Greenland is losing its ice. The Earth is getting warmer, and too much so to be a natural fluctuation.
Larsen B has gone, after 12,000 years.
But as I've said before, some places will become inhabitable, others will become habitable. We're not trashing the whole planet, we're just making different areas slightly different to live in, no better or worse than it has been.
People migrate all the time. Animals will adapt. Nature finds its own levels.
If anyone thinks that they can upset the balance of nature, they are a bit full of themselves.
With all due respect, how do any of us know what a natural fluctuation is? The Earth has been around how long? And we as a species have been around for how long? Nevermind how long we've actually been keeping records of global temperatures. A few hundred years is (to use the technical term) peanuts compared to how long the Earth has been alive and kicking.
Are we causing changes? Undoubtedly. Are these temperature swings unnatural? I'm not so sure of that one. Am I going to still combine trips and errands when driving and turn off lights I'm not using and not use the air conditioner until it's absolutely needed? Of course.
There's gotta be a better way, we have more consecutive days of sunshine than any other place in the U.S.
They will sign a petition to ban water, if you word it right. And they have.
They want to ban the science which will fix the problem they seem so pissed off about.
Either they have no brain at all,
or their crusade to protect the environment is just a facade for their ulterior motive of having everyone live the way they do.
Suck it, I say!
Its funny.. A REASONABLE cause and the LUNATICS are in control
thus making the cause seem unreasonable.
I was gonna mention suicide but now the joke sounds tasteless...
doesnt it
I believe they have as much right to be alive as I do, even if they don't see it that way.
You're right. There's totally another side to it. If they put half the effort they put into being abusive and destructive, into science, research, and new ideas, to look at the problem and solve it by going forwards rather than reverting to cavemen, they'd have the problem solved. I'm all for recycling, because it's a brilliant idea, we have these materials like aluminium, glass and steel, which can be used more than once, and they should be. It saves them being made again, saves space in the landfills, and means we don't have to import more resources so it saves money too. I don't even think I'd mind that much if someone found a way to switch off global warming in an instant (hypothetically) even though winters would still be cold and miserable, and the weather would still be inutterably boring, it wouldn't really cause any harm. But the militant environmentalists do.
