Official US Ambassador To Earth Hour Compares Event To Civil Rights March On Selma

• March 28, 2009

Earth Hour is a bit of meaningless symbolism some environmentalist thought up to “raise awareness” about environmental issues. Ed Norton is a Hollywood actor (whose work I enjoy) who Obama picked to be the official US ambassador for the event.
Norton, who has to be smarter than this, actually compared Earth Hour to the legendary civil rights marches from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama in an interview with NBC’s Ann Curry. Because a bunch of greenies sitting in the dark for an hour is obviously just like the struggle for racial equality.

ED NORTON: I think it’s, it’s a call to action. It’s, it’s, it’s-, turning off the lights won’t solve the problem, obviously. But in the same way that the, the march on Selma, Alabama was a symbolic gesture for the civil rights movement I think those who care about climal [sic] change, climate change and carbon mitigation – which is a global movement – are, are trying to find ways to symbolically demonstrate the, the unity of purpose around the planet and, and really get our leadership to take action.

If anything, this is indicative of just how thoroughly Chicken Little-ism has taken over the environmental movement.

I’m turning all the lights on,
Mrs. Rabid is doing a heavy load of laundry,
while the dryer is running, baking a cake,
with the furnace turned up to 85 (with the doors open),
and I’ll have the Hemi-Jeep G/C idling in the driveway,

Just for good measure you might want to stick a couple of space heaters in an old refrigerator outside!

If I can generalize from your two active brain cells that you are a moron, then you can generalize from one person’s statement that all Republicans “don’t give a shit about the earth”.

Thanks for agreeing with me Poofie.

Im going to burn some fields down in Yellowstone

Yellowstone is one of the largest calderas on the planet, just waiting to erupt, and doesn’t give a shit about global warming, it is global. So sorry chief, nobody gives a tinkers damned if you drop a burning roach in a grassy field in the park. After that caldera erupts you’ll need a parka in Honolulu for the rest of your natural life. That you can be assured of.
docdave

spart, interesting geological history of Yellowstone here. Closing paragraph:

Thus we see that Yellowstone’s fires are only banked, not out. Geologists don’t expect another caldera explosion any time soon, but sometime new lava flows quite likely will once again consume lodgepole forests, and a new generation of geysers will burst forth, perhaps in Hot Springs Basin.

Earth hour is dumb.

Saving the whales is dumb.

Protecting oceans from polluted run off is dumb.

Protecting wild-life is dumb.

Pollution is good.

I love smog.

Space debris? Who cares?

I have this big pile of brush from some trees I cut down. I think I’ll toss a couple old tires on it, douse it with five gallons of diesel and light it up in celebration of Earth Hour.

I saw this ridiculous event advertised on Fox in flipping through channels. The communist nonsense that Obama is pulling in destroying our country is about the same as the global warming alarmism. One is in hyper-drive by Obama in a forced, like it or not way. The other contains more guile and is different in title hoping that the up and coming generation will finally be the one to swallow global communism hook, line and sinker. Remember those who started and propagated the control-grabbing fraud and you’ll know who to “thank” for the dismantling of our country.

Do the facts indicate that it is OK for all of us to burn our tires? Yes or no?

Now watch him obfuscate.

Well, we’ve lived through earth day so I guess we can live through earth hour. What comes next? Earth minute? To me the entire meaningless fiasco will not be worth a small yawn.

Potato:

You by inference support the envirocalvinists who want everyone to look to their leadership for salvation, because you think we’re idiots to oppose them.

I am completely impressed how you can wake up, type out a series of really, really, long winded rants that amount to nothing more than mental gibberish that germinate from your mind.

I understand that you believe you know what you are talking about, and that somewhere in that mess there is an argument, but, really, you need to relax.

Now there’s an idea.

Encourage all the Gaia-worshipping Partisan Fucktards to set up their Earth Temple around the caldera in Yellowstone and have them wait for the Second Coming of Krakatoa.

One more example, as if one was needed, of why people whose fame, fortune, and very identity derive from fantasy and make-believe ought not to be taken seriously when it comes to reality.

No, moron; we know the Earth is not in danger from CO2, which is not a pollutant. Our energy use is not dangerous, but the extreme ignorance of you hate-filled lefties is dangerous. You liars don’t care about anything buy exercising totalitarian power, and you will use any lies to try to grab it for yourselves. You hate individual freedom.

in the same way that the, the march on Selma, Alabama was a symbolic gesture for the civil rights movement

A symbolic gesture?! Are any of these tree-huggers going to be attacked by police dogs, doused with fire hoses, or beaten with nightsticks like those people who marched in Selma? What kind of brain-dead liberal draws a direct comparison from Earth Hour to the civil rights movement? These Hollywood morons believe that every cause they get involved in is like the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. These whores will say anything (no pun intended) to stay in front of a camera.

If Ed Norton is the best representative they can come up with for Earth Hour, I’ll spend it having a beer in front of my 52″ TV with all the lights in my house turned on.

Aww man, I like Ed Norton’s work, too, but now it’s going to be hard to enjoy seeing as I now know what a tool he is. Seriously, what a d-bag.

We did live simply. People died young. Our population was low. Our technology backward. Our information transmission nearly nonexistent. Our societies ruled by superstition free of introspection and philosophy. It took us millenia to achieve what we have and they want us to throw it away.

Just because you can do something simply doesn’t mean you have to have such an anti-progress mindset and be full of hate for man.

Talk about a Strawman. Where is the post on this blog that embraces primitivism?

This earth hour is so stupid. I am going see to it I turn extra stuff on to compensate.

Does this mean they will shut off the nuke plant in our area? That the non use will somehow save anything.

Straw man Hannah. No one is asking to pollute the planet and destroy it… except for the environmentalists who consistently embrace primitivism much like the wistful disillusioned of the pastoral movement, who put naive wishful romanticism above actual hard experience of their own species.

Primitive subsistence living devolves to lifeboat ethics. Survival at any costs trumps all other considerations. That means environmentalism, which is a luxury of the present advanced age, goes right out the window. You get slit trench sewers, low life expectancy, disease transmission, deaths from simple injuries, etc. No one cares about some endangered bird beyond wanting to eat it and stay one step ahead of starving.

Yet these clods imagine we can live simply so that others may simply live. How noble. We live at a technological level of 1850 and others, let’s say those teeming masses of dark skin people in Africa, they can stay in the stone age. How very noble.

We did live simply. People died young. Our population was low. Our technology backward. Our information transmission nearly nonexistent. Our societies ruled by superstition free of introspection and philosophy. It took us millenia to achieve what we have and they want us to throw it away.

Just because you can do something simply doesn’t mean you have to have such an anti-progress mindset and be full of hate for man. I can smelt steel from iron sands with charcoal I made from wood I coked in a kiln I made with clay I dug with my hands. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have modern metal production works. It means I am capable of doing something positive and know it. These cretins don’t want people empowered, they want them broken and dispirited, and surrendering to their chiding and controlling.

They’re latter day Calvinists expounding their philosophy of total depravity and only they can lead us to salvation. A salvation where we live in hell, they get purgatory, and no one can hope for better.
http://suitepotato.blogspot.com/ sayanything-4808

No strawman Hannah. You by inference support the envirocalvinists who want everyone to look to their leadership for salvation, because you think we’re idiots to oppose them. Simple as that. Any reasonable adult American citizen would read your statements as supporting them and no word games you play after the fact will change it.

As for what these latter day flagellants and spreaders of misery believe in, why don’t you take a look at their writings since the 60s? I did. Maybe you’re a deluded wishful thinking idiot, but the fact of the matter is these people have a hate filled jones to see the human race suffer. They despise their fellow man as Dino does. That people would be miserable isn’t beside the point to the ideologues at the top of the movement, it’s the entire point.

They think we live too advanced, too high on the comfort level. They think we live too long and that we are too many. They see our destruction through overpopulation, starvation, disease, and warfare as completely inevitable. They believe the absolute best we can hope for is a reduction in population levels, and that the most likely way is war and disease and so forth. So if it is inevitable, why not get started.

They fool themselves into believing they can stop such a decline once started. They are of course presumptive arrogant fools. Once started, we’re headed for extinction. However, those of their number who perceive this don’t care. As I said, they already see us as far too charmed and not deserving of the plenty we enjoy. If we go out of existence, so much the better for the all important environment.

Do you for one second imagine that humans are unique? I don’t. Any lifeform that has the opportunity to evolve to intelligence next will do no different. That being the case, when that concept is put to their philosophies, all advanced lifeforms become worthy of destruction because by their philosophy all advanced lifeforms are a threat to the less advanced.

Intelligence itself is revealed as their enemy. As long as they live, they think and feel, and the world frightens them, the unknown frightens them, everything frightens them. Too scared even to see that the problem reduces to them, their own personal fear, because the solution then becomes simple: nonexistence.

So they go on, cowards, unable to find the strength to pull their plugs, and embrace a philosophy that leads to everyone else’s destruction off in the unknown future after that unknown future has already disposed of them somehow along the way. It’s safer that way. Easier. Less frightening than to face the world honestly.

As they say of cowardice and hesitation, it will cause your worst nightmares to come true.
