The headline says it all:

Every adult in Britain should be forced to carry 'carbon ration cards', says MP's

Should the government really be forcing quack science and cloudy scientific theory on the masses? Welcome to the new religion,where God is MONEY.


The nutjob in the photo above thinks the Brits should be issued 'carbon ration cards' for purchases related to carbon emissions, (i.e. gasoline, airline travel, electricity) and should a person use up their alloted credits they can then barter with another person for their credits.

Is anyone besides me getting sickening chills with the Orwellian feel of this proposed mandate?

There is simply no doubt that modern human consumption on this planet is not good for our environment, however I don't need a government telling me how much gasoline I need to use or how many miles I can fly.

The best efforts to correct our 'carbon emission problem' should be left to market forces, as eventually the market will produce, cheaply and efficiently, alternatives to hydrocarbon based fuel systems. Maybe not today, certainly not tomorrow, but eventually it will happen. And furthermore, if this means less money falls into the hands of scam artists like Al Gore and his carbon credit pyramid scheme, them I'm all for that.

Does anyone remember the final scene from Back To The Future when Professor Brown tosses a banana peel and a leaking beer can into the Cuisinart flux capacitor? That is the solution. Figure out how to use our garbage to fuel our cars and we have won the battle.

UPDATE: Add to that the GARBAGE POLICE and you have a great society in Britain.

Complete insanity.

Oh, The Irony. . .

This is my garden as it stands this afternoon. As you can see I am growing a wide variety of high-density polyethylene and polyethylene terephthalate. Looks like it's going to be a bumper crop this year.



The real truth is, I am wasting valuable polyCARBONate plastics in an effort to save my vegetables from a freeze that is coming this evening. In 1957 the low was 37 degrees. Tonight it is expected to drop to 31 degrees. A 50 year old record soon to be broken in central Mississippi. What can I do?



I've wasted 28 valuable plastic garbage bags and several grocery store bags for what?

I planted this garden with the idea that I can "take up" some carbon by growing plants, while feeding myself, family and friends, therefore saving gas by not having to drive to the grocery store to purchase vegetables and subsequently helping protect the environment from the proliferation of carbon.



Ironically, it is carbon that my plants thrive on and now I am choking them to death inside of an impervious carbon sack that will slowly fill with the exudations of oxygen from the plants themselves hoping that tomorrow I can release them from their corrosive prison once the "Global Warming" takes back over.

Do I waste the plastic carbon to save my plants so I don't create more carbon by having to drive all over looking for new plants or buying vegetables from a carbon belching grocery store? Or do I let them die, because the carbon bags will eventually end up useless in a landfill anyway and then drive all over buying new plants while producing carbon with my vehicle that other plants will happily suck up? Would that create more or less carbon?



I guess in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really matter anyway. I could just buy a few carbon credits, ditch the guilt and confusion, and let Al Gore take care of the problem.

You know, for a place that's supposed to be warming, I got news for ya, it's awful cold Al. And you're an idiot.

AL GORE WHERE ARE YOU? ? ? ? ?

Deer Mr. Vice-President Guy,

I ain't too well read up on this here Global Warming thang. I heared some people talkin' down at the co-op bout cow farts and all and brewin' up corn to make unleaded gas and not whiskey, but like I said, I ain't too well read up on the whole thang. And makin' matters worse, I seen this here sign you see down yonder ways and I ain't quite sure what to make of it. I's asking my friend Elmont about it, cause he's all smart and such cause he finished nineth grade, and he said that -196° F is kinda like Kelvin and we should all be froze up to death. I told him the only thing I knew about Kelvin is he got three kids, works down at the oil change joint and his old lady is meaner'n a bag of snakes cause she tried to shoot him in the nutsack when he was drunk and raisin' hell about all her whorin' around. And one other thang, that clock on there was saying 7:00 p.m. and well, my momma taught me how to tell time on one-a them regular clocks with them hands goin' in a circle and a circle ain't got no sides and it told me it's 9:32 in the morning.

Now I'm all shook up. You been tellin' me that we s'posed to be getting hotter, but that clock thang says it's Kelvin and I know good and well that Kelvin is down at the oil change place cause that's the only place in town that hired him after he knocked over the Piggly Wiggly six years ago.

Anyways, I ain't sure what to do now. Do I need to get rid of my cows cause they fartin' awful good? Or do I need to get me some of them credits you been talkin' bout and if I get some, does it mean I can get a good deal on a new double-wide?

Sincerely,

Mr. R. D. Neck
