ABC News: Olympic Torch Inflicts Environmental Toll Quote: |
Angry protesters, riot police, mass demonstrations, arrests for disorderly conduct -- it hasn't exactly been smooth sailing for the Olympic-torch relay. If people are looking for another reason to be pissed at China, how about this: By the time this pyro parade is over, it will have produced about 11 million pounds of carbon emissions.

Bring that ****ing torch up here. I still can't play golf, and we are going to get another 2-4 inches of snow this weekend. I'm getting tired of shoveling all this global warming out of my driveway.

We just can't seem to break this cycle of cooler than normal temperatures up here. For a couple days it got really nice out this month and melted almost all the snow, then we got 3 inches the other day, and have more on the way. I imagine we will end up well above our average snowfall for April this year. Thankfully I have been on the southern edge of the snowfall, since I have been planning to go to Madison for the Badgers spring practice game and go golfing down there. Its a tradition for me and my best friend to go down there, play some golf while the ladies shop, and then go check out the Badgers football team.
God I am going to miss going to Madison on football Saturdays when we move back down south. | |

I think they should turn that ---- flame off, and use a cardboard likeness of a flame. Or they could buy some carbon offsets from Al Gore. Would enviro-mentals approve biofuel or ethenol? Did the mentals walk or drive to the protest site?
