I?ve read cave dwellers invented snoring to scare off saber-tooth tigers. It is marvelously effective; we haven?t suffered a saber-tooth tiger attack here in memory.
Equally effective was Al Gore?s saving our ozone hole. In addition to the Internet, he discovered that refrigerator fluids were murdering ozone.
After $50 billion spent changing fluids, that old hole is up there shrinking and growing each year, just as it has for eons. We should rename it the Gore Hole in his honor. It seems only American fluids endangered his hole; China and Mexico kept using the cheap stuff apparently without harming it.
Gore also wrote that $5 gasoline would save us from the most dangerous things in the world ? automobiles. With $3 gas, it seems he and his environmental friends are about to accomplish their objective of saving us.
This salvation ranges from the unlimited funding and goofiness of Hollywood to the sincere stupidity of those who want all people to die so we will stop polluting. That?ll do it.
These so-called environmentalists prevent oil drilling, oil refining, coal mining, gas distribution, dam building and power plant construction in America. Wind generators kill birds and solar power plants in the desert are sight pollution. Wood fuel destroys forests and pollutes everything. Tidal power plants are ugly and unthinkable.
The cleanest, safest, cheapest fuel ? nuclear, that is ? was prohibited ages ago by Jane Fonda and her kindred spirits, none of whom could recognize a neutron from a horse apple.
So if you contribute to outfits like the Sierra Club, or vote for their hirelings ? Boxer, Thompson, Chesbro and the like ? stop sniveling about $3 gasoline. You are getting just what you paid and voted for.
Manmade global warming is a crock and Arabs are laughing all the way to the bank.
