Oh, now this is rich. German greenies calculate that a blog which gets 15,000 hits or more a month (yay! we qualify!) pumps out 8 pounds of carbon dioxide a year.But mockery is too delicious to pass up, so this blog will proudly wear a new badge:
So what you’re supposed to do is, you write a blog post about this, you put a link to them in the sidebar using their “my blog is carbon neutral” graphic, they plant a tree in your name, it soaks up 11 pounds of CO2, and — violoncello! — your blog IS carbon neutral.
So let’s point out the utterly fucking obvious, shall we? There is no relationship between blogs and trees. Nobody is waiting around for a pingback before they go stick a spruce in the ground. This is an ongoing reforestation program (by the Arbor Day Foundation in the Plumas National Forest. In California) and these German greenie-weenies have just latched onto to display, once again, their weak (or dishonest) grasp of cause-and-effect.
Now if y'all will excuse me, I'm going to go cut down a tree ...
Belches Carbon and Pisses Excellence.......

ReplyDeleteOMG, you REALLY need to put that icon at the top of the page!!!
to get full effect you need to burn the tree too.
ReplyDeleteI prefer to burn mine in a smoker box with a large hunk of cow, brisket is about the right size.
Burt, 'tis done.
ReplyDeleteNever fear, Al Gore will fly somewhere this week and burn more carbon in a day than we will us in our lives.
ReplyDeleteI love to cut down the trees in my yard. I use an electric chain saw to keep the polution created "Some Place Else" [Duke Energy Power Generation Facility]. Then, so's not to let Duke have all the fun, we burn the trees in a big bon-fire, with marshmallows and s'mores to give the grand kids sugar rushes, so they too can expend carbon dioxide.
