Clearcutting for the Climate

I’m at the Heartland Institute’s 4th International Climate Conference in Chicago, and I see a stand of a couple of entrepreneurial brothers offering these amusing t-shirts, which jabs reminded me of something I have let sit during recent days of travel but will get to with a full piece hopefully later today.

For a hint, see the title of this post. Just when I think I can’t be amazed by the inanity of the global warming industry,I’m amazed. The “green” madness going on in Europe, and with which we are presently being threatened, simply sets in motion a perpetual motion madness machine. As I detail, here.

I still like the idea of a bumper sticker that simply says "Green People Suck."

Jeeze! I posted a satirical comment about a month ago in which I suggested that all of the world's trees should be cut down so that they could be replaced with seedlings. All of the wood products created from the cut trees would represent a huge amount of sequestered carbon.
Forests of fast-growing seedlings would then soak up all of the excess CO2 that humanity is pumping into the atmosphere, thus saving the planet from global warming.
Hey, I was only kidding!
This was a fanciful, facetious suggestion. Are the envirofascists really advancing it with total seriousness? Wow. When a group of people take a joke and make it reality, then you know that those people are themselves a joke.
