Earth Day Frivolities - Edward John Craig - Planet Gore on National Review Online

On a day when many Americans will be reflecting upon how they can reduce their impact on the environment, President Barack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden will board separate jets in Washington on Earth Day morning to fly 250 miles up the east coast to New York, where they will land at separate airports to attend separate events within a few miles of each other.

The parallel visits of Air Force One (a 747/VC-25 aircraft) and Air Force Two (a 757/C-32A aircraft) will delay dozens, if not hundreds of commercial flights at Kennedy and LaGuardia and other nearby airports as no-fly zones are implemented. Jets will be forced to circle and burn more fuel as they wait for the VIPs to come and go. Their security contingents consisting of dozens of cars, SUVs and helicopters will burn even more. Throw in thousands of commuters’ cars and delivery trucks sitting idle in traffic as law enforcement closes large swaths of the city and you have yourself a very Earth-unfriendly day.

WaPo Earth Day Story Finds Glum Greens Struggling to Sell 'Slippery' Climate Scare | NewsBusters.org

...Now that's the environmental movement too often papered over by the press -- the ones who hate consumerism, hate energy use, and when it comes down to it, just thinks there are too many ignorant and piggish humans befouling the planet. There's a deep streak of misanthropy lurking, going back to Paul Ehrlich's The Population Bomb, predicting a "die-back" as the inevitable consequence of mass ignorance. Except it never happened -- just like catastrophic global warming may never happen.
