One More Dose of War on Weather Hypocrisy
According to its website, the Save Our Selves concert series, which Al Gore and various sanctimonious (or opportunistic) pop stars will use to save the planet from the horrific but thankfully fictional doom of catastrophic anthropogenic global warming, "will engage an audience of more than 2 billion people." As many as 3 million are expected to attend in person, with the rest watching from home.
As noted at The Evangelical Outpost, the first pop group moonbatty enough to go on a "carbon-neutral" tour was the Rolling Gallstones in 2003. Their tour drew 160,000 fans, who generated an estimated 13 kg of CO2 apiece by attending. This would mean that 3 million coming to Prince Al's concerts would produce 39,000 metric tons of allegedly harmful CO2.
As for those watching on their TVs and computers, if 2 billion people were to watch the 24-hour show for only one hour each, it would require 400 billion watts of energy. This would produce an estimated 172,000 metric tons of C02, for a grand total of over 200,000 metric tons in one day, more than the entire country Afghanistan produces in a year.
Fortunately, all the Goracle has to do to offset this is plant 200 acres of Douglas firs — or turn down the AC at his mansion.

It’s okay for Algores horse to crap in the street because He can afford the guy in a clown suit to follow Him around with a shovel. How very progressive of Him.

The Moonbat Prince of Moonbat-Occupied Britain has declared fetwah against McDonald's and against that scourge known as cul-de-sacs.
Prince Harry has the balls to answer his country's call to duty, but the rest of the royals seem ravaged by centuries of in-breeding.

And apologies for completely derailing the thread, but I've since learned that the Moonbat Prince talks to plants and thinks they understand.
I just come and talk to the plants, really-very important to talk to them, they respond I find.

Oh, don't knock that one, studies have found that plants respond to sound stimuli in very positive ways... though I think they'd probably wilt if they had to listen to Charles.
He's not that bad. It'd be better if he was more like his mother and less like his father, who seems to be a complete twit, and if he kept his mouth shut things would be perfect. I hear he writes with green ink.
I've had an idea, though. Future monarchs should be picked by a lottery. It'd make things more interesting.

I believe Chuckles has mistaken wilting for genuflecting.
And anyone who compares himself to his girlfriend's tampon
isn't fit to be speaking to plants much less fit to be a figurehead.
