Envirokooks Oppose Hydroelectric

The envirowacko campaign against modern civilization continues with claims that even dams cause global warming.

Squawks Patrick McCully of International Rivers Network:

Often it's accepted that hydropower is a climate friendly technology but in fact probably all reservoirs around the world emit greenhouse gases and some of them, especially some of the ones in the tropics, emit very high quantities of greenhouse gases even comparable to, in some cases even much worse than, fossil fuels like coal and gas.

The idea is that vegetation upstream of a dam will rot, releasing the same gases dead things have been releasing for millions of years, but which have suddenly become toxic in accordance with environmentalist dogma.

IRN has been opposing the construction of dams all around the world since before the global warming hoax was cooked up. But like every other antihuman moonbat sect (including even PETA), they are opportunistically hooking their cart to the climate change mule.

Moonbats obstruct the use of fossil fuels, nuclear, and hydroelectric. Even inefficient but politically correct windmills are opposed because they might oppress ground squirrels or affect the view for rich leftists like Ted Kennedy and Walter Cronkite.

How are we supposed to generate the power to run civilization? We're not: civilization is the problem that liberalism is attempting to cure.
