SHUT THE FUCK UP AND WATCH THIS NOW

you better watch this right now. its the best thing on youtube since bubb rubb

REBATE

Sorry about all the preaching. Let’s get back to the roots with something SWEET!!!!!

The Green Cheques

The government gave me 100 bucks that i’m supposed to spend on the environment in my own special, loving, caring, butt-fucking way. $100 x 2 million people (guessing) in BC = 200 million dollars. Are you stupid? NOBODY is goign to use this on the environment unless they’re retarded. Wouldn’t it be better to use the 200 million on a big government project to help the environment like, oh i don’t know, building a sewage treatment plant in Victoria (the only major city in north america that pumps raw sewage straight into the ocean).

This initiative is so backwards that i’m coming up with ways to spite the government. I’m going to rent a chainsaw and cut dwn a tree. I’ll buy 100 bucks worth of gas and idle my car in the driveway. I’m going to buy buy 5 copies of all gore’s movie and break them so nobody can ever watch them. I’m going to pay a high school hacker to break into greenpeace’s website and shut it down for an hour.

BAH HUMBUG!!!

Fuck you John Travolta

So the previous post/rant has esablished my thoughts on global warming being hopeless. Now I’ll get into what pisses me off the most. Celebrities. I hate preachy celebrities. I can understand wanting to make a difference by using the voice that you have, but you lo fucking supid. For example, who do you think has a bigger carbon footprint: me or your average celebrity with multiple homes who takes a private jet to Vegas for the weekend? The stupid thing is that these people are the only people who could really afford to have all the alternative energy and water recycling technology etc to significantly reduce their impact. John tavolta has a house on a fucking runway with a hangar in it that can hold his 5 jet airplanes. Read this article .It is hilarious and includes the follwing tidbits:

Clocking up at least 30,000 flying miles in the past 12 months means he has produced an estimated 800 tons of carbon emissions – nearly 100 times the average Briton’s tally.

He spoke of the importance of helping the environment by using “alternative methods of fuel” – after driving down the red carpet on a Harley Davidson.

And Al Gore is a fucking idiot. He was VICE PRESIDENT. I don’t remember hearing a single fucking thing about him and the environment in the election campaigns or in office. Obviously i have a worse memory than a 1960s computer, but you’d think somebody who now claims that global warming has been the driving topic in his life/career would be known as such when he was VICE PRESIDENT. You’re all talk, Al:

The average household in America consumes 10,656 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per year, according to the Department of Energy…Gore’s energy consumption has increased from an average of 16,200 kWh per month in 2005, to 18,400 kWh per month in 2006.

The best example is the “Live Earth” concert series in which dozens of musicians and celebbrities flew all over the fucking world on private jets to preach to me about how WE need to change. Shut the hell up. We’re all screwed. Let me die in peace.

ImSweet chimes in on global warming. FINALLY.

This has been pissing me off for a while. There are a lot of topics one can cover here, and it may take multiple posts to do it. Or maybe i’ll stay inside all day in the dark and blog my eyes out. Zero carbon footprint Sunday! wait, i’m using electricity on my laptop; wait these clothes were shipped her on a huge tanker from china; wait the heat is on in my apartment; wait i just cleaned my bathtub with bleach that went down the drain. You see what i’m getting at?

There are a myriad of ways to reduce your “carbon footprint”. I’d say the vast majority of people acknowledge these options but do not follow any of these suggestions. These suggestions include reducing energy use, taking the bus/biking to work, using solar panels, buying new low-energy appliances; installing low-flow shower heads etc. The problem is that in a world of 6 billion people, nobody believes that what they’re doing is really a big deal. A businessman making 80 grand a year who works in a suit is not going to bike to work and is not going to take the bus either. These options mean adding real and palpable inconvenience, commuting time, and social stigma while providing no reward. I would say basic psychology would indicate thta most people would not keep up thse habits if they started and would generally be very reluctant to begin with. The other solutions, such as solar panels and “getting of the grid”, or eating locally or organic are great if you have thousands upon thousands in disposable income you wouldn’t rather spend going on vacation or saving for a bigger apartment/house or buying a new couch. Organic/local food is way harder to find – adding travel time in your gas guzzling SUV (families buy more groceries than can be carried on a boke or by hand) and it is way more expensive. The aveage joe making 35000 a year cant afford to but organic food.

If these more effective methods are to be used it is going to take government intevention. The bus pass tax credit and HOV lanes are a start as a reward but we’d also need a punishment for doing the bad things. This is not going to be popular with anyone – especially business – and in the modern lobbyist-driven political world it would never happen. Effective deterents that would affect everyone’s usage wouldobbviously be monetary. Picture regulated higher prices for gas, airplane flights etc… are you down? me niether.

What the average person is left with as a contribution is to cut down usage – but only that which is not needed. IE turning out the lights when you leave your house or walking 4 blocks to the video store instead of driving (5 blocks is too far right?). This method is only going to take place in the western world. You think a factory worker in china is going to give a fuck about the environment when they make 5 bucks a day? Fuck that. Plus the population is rising all the time, and mostly in India and China where the governent is trying to bring hundreds of millins of people out of poverty – people that have no electricity. Are they going to deny these people the right to have running water and electricity? No. They’re going to build another god damned coal plant right?

I’m going to start another post now cause this one is just rambling. My introduction to the fun stuff is longer than what the fun stuff would be. I can’t believe you read all of that pessimism. Are you stalking me or something?
