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."I mad. I just can't believe it. Why didn't I think of this???
The point: the group wants to "help Americans break free from the 'carbon footprint guilt' being imposed by Climate Alarmists."
Grassfire.org president Steve Elliott, in a statement, said: "It's time for Americans to purge ourselves of the false guilt that Al Gore and the Climate Alarmists have placed on us".
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.
He's right. So hug a tree if you want to. I'm going to belch!
