Even Homeless Will Have to Lower Their Standard of Living
In honor of the global warming farce, both O'Bigot and Shrillary have declared we must lower America's harmless carbon emissions by 80% by 2050. To get an idea of how large an effect this would have on our standard of living, consider that the average American could produce no more than 2.5 tons. Right now, derelicts who eat in soup kitchens and sleep in homeless shelters emit 8.5 tons.
They'll have to cut back their sumptuous lifestyle considerably. Fortunately by 2050 our increasingly powerful government will be in a position to make sure they tread lightly upon the Earth, because otherwise some might be too selfish to give up their luxuries for Gaia.

Why do I have the feeling that their emission goal is also the approximate emission level of a rotting corpse?

Um, because you peeked at the answers in the back of the moonbat handbook, Elaine?

Do you mean I'm right? HA! Actually, I did try to find the carbon emission of a dead body and came across this weird article.
And this site.

Man, that homeless moonbat needs to see a dentist. I bet those rotting teeth are emitting carbon as well. Uck!!!!

Um, I don't mean to piss on our wingbat book burning, but you've got it totally wrong.
The cited article says"
"one major factor is the array of government services that are available to everyone in the United States. These basic services--including police, roads, libraries, the court system and the military--were allocated equally to everyone in the country in this study."
So, if you accept that the police, transportation, and the military CAN'T reduce their emmissions, and these emmissions are allocated to everyone in the country, then yes, there's a threshold below which you can't drop.
But that's stupid.
Of course the police and transportation and the military can reduce their emmissions.
Let's use ALL the facts. You're making Al Gore look like a genius by comparison.
