FiveThirtyEight Throws Out An AGW Challenge » Pirate's Cove

Well, that is an interesting bet, is it not? But, I have another challenge for Nate and any of the folks who believe that Mankind is the sole cause of global warming…wait, I’m supposed to call it climate change, because it now encompasses when it gets cool and when it snows. The challenge is this:

1. Live the live as extolled in the official book of Al Gore’s Live Earth travesty “The Live Earth Global Warming Survival Handbook: 77 Essential Skills To Stop Climate Change,” available for $11.21 at Amazon. The book is simply mostly old tried and true real environmental ideas, turned into AGW one. (I make no money on any click of that link, Climahysterics. Amazon cut of North Carolina residents.)
2. Trade in any vehicle you drive that gets less than 30 mpg highway and get one that fits in to Al Gore’s notion of what a “green” car should be (not that he does the same.)
3. Live the life

That’s it. Not so hard, right? If you truly believe that it is Mankind that is causing global warming, er, climate change, then you should do everything you can to reduce your carbon footprint. No, no, the fact that it will cause you hardship and lots of money is immaterial to the challenge. You have no problem with all the legislation harming others and costing them money (and jobs,) so, come on, walk the talk. Who will take the challenge? How about you, Firedoglake?

Making Buses Cool Again « Climate Progress

Still, the Obama administration and local communities across the country should take a hard look at this emerging solution. Electric cars are good, but fewer cars are even better.

Hey, Joe Romm: What percent of your personal travel miles in 2009 have been on public buses?

Funny how the same people believe that the earth is 5000 years old, man lived with dinosaurs, carbon dating is a scam, fetal stem cells are evil, good christians don't have sex, blah blah blah
