Still living in 2007: The green scene is [allegedly] taking over America - Times-Standard Online

News Corp. Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch, a billionaire and an unlikely environmentalist, set 2010 as the corporation's carbon neutral target. This was a big 360-degree turn-around after voicing skepticism about global warming following the screening of Al Gore's Oscar-winning documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth.” (A film that was Carbon Neutral by following their own advice).

Carbon neutral is the hot ticket in filming these days, kicked off with “Syriana,” “The Day After Tomorrow,” and “There Will be Blood,” to name a few. After the credits roll, they typically give credit to the production being 100 percent carbon neutral.

This is definitely a process where strong math skills will come in handy. First, consultants measure the carbon dioxide output that is estimated to be used during a production, then methods are used to cut energy consumption and usage during a production. This includes flights, driving hybrids or using bio-diesel, electricity conservation methods, and recycling. Even using locally grown organic food for catering can add to the equation.

Romm keeps the CO2 hysteria knob set on 11

Hill conservatives have rejected all 3 climate-saving strategies, an approach that would doom your children and grandchildren and the next 50 generations to untold (and purely preventable) misery.

This is good for Republicans, since it helps them achieve their goal of destroying the planet. And it’s good for Democrats, since it helps them achieve their goal of pretending to try to avoid the destruction of the planet while ensuring that, in practice, the planet is destroyed. And Senators Johanns was born in 1950, so he’ll almost surely be dead by 2050 (along with countless residents of flood-prone areas of the developing world) so it’s basically all good.
