Conservative grassroots group Grassfire.org wants people to waste as much energy as possible on June 12 by "hosting a barbecue, going for a drive, watching television, leaving a few lights on, or even smoking a few cigars."
The point: the group wants to "help Americans break free from the 'carbon footprint guilt' being imposed by Climate Alarmists."
Grassfire.org says it's skeptical over claims that man-made sources of carbon dioxide emissions -- from automobile exhausts to manufacturing plants -- are raising the Earth's temperature at a dangerous rate.
Theories about global warming were highlighted by former Vice President Al Gore's 2006 film, An Inconvenient Truth.
Grassfire.org president Steve Elliott, in a statement, said such theories are off the mark. "It's time for Americans to purge ourselves of the false guilt that Al Gore and the Climate Alarmists have placed on us," Elliott said.
Grassfire.org said it chose June 12 as the day it wants Americans to rev up their SUVs because it coincides with expected debate in Congress over a $1.2 billion carbon tax rebate program. "Carbon Belch Day will have at least as much impact on the so-called 'planetary emergency' of man-made global warming as the goofy save the earth mandates telling us to turn our lights off for an hour," said Elliott...

Fine, they want to play it that way? They want to feel like persecuted martyrs for the SUV building industries? Let's rumble. I'll show them how to increase their carbon footprint.
I suggest that, if they are so keen to use energy and pollute, we roast them, these Christianists and fanatical, "the environment can recover from anything", kuve, on large propane grills, then crucify them on large, motor oil soaked crosses, set the crosses on fire, then take the remaining carbon/charcoal, put it into the backs of Dodge RAM pickups with V12 gasoline engines, drive out to the country, use whatever remains that will still burn in firepits to roast large and juicy pigs, then take all the litter, put THAT into the Dodge Pickups and set them on fire as well and when that is done, load ALL of that scrap, put it into old ICBMs in place of the warheads and fire the missiles off on trajectories which will bring the whole suborbital lot of superheated junk down on the oilfields of Saudi Arabia.
There is a reason that I wasn't given a Ring of Power by the Elves...
Or, we could just let the meatheads go broke by running their SUVs out of gas.
