Earth Day...Oh Big Woo

So, the 39th Earth Day was celebrated yesterday. I tried not to pay attention to the various Earth Day celebrations taking place. However, I do know that our curent president hopped aboard Air Force One to travel to an Earth Day speaking engagement.

Have you seen the Earth Day predictions that were made on the very first Earth Day in 1970? Well, they got it wrong. By 1985, the air was supposed to be so polluted that only half of the sun's light would be able to penetrate the polluted air. By the year 2000, the earth's temperature will have dropped 12 degrees and this could take us into an ice age. I could go on and on, but you can google it and read for yourself.

I don't know what's being predicted for this Earth Day, but I imagine that if we don't do something quickly, we're going to be toast by 2025. If we continue to drive vehicles powered by gasoline, especially those horrible SUVs, eat more beef, and put on weight, our civilization as we know it will soon end. We've known about cow flatulance being a major contributor to global warming for a couple of years now. A new theory is out there that indicates being overweight contributes to global warming. Because over weight folks tend to eat more, additional energy is expended in food production and therefore, a bigger carbon footprint results.

A good starting place might be to get rid of cows. But you know, the animal rights folks might now like that. Shouldn't cows have a right to live and do their thing? We shouldn't kill them to eat them. But if we let them live and multiply, we're going to have a bigger flatulance problem which accelerates global warming.

Looks like you animal rights folks and you environmentalists are going to have to fight this one out. Let us know what you decide.
