 Have Your Hummer and Hug It TooPosted on Apr 12, 2007
Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to make the environmental movement sexy. Why get rid of Hummers, California’s governor argued Wednesday, when you can make them run on biofuel and hydrogen, like his? Schwarzenegger has a warning for politicians who stand in the way of environmental progress: “Your political base will melt away as surely as the polar ice caps. ... You will become a political penguin on a smaller and smaller ice floe, drifting out to sea. ... ”

I am wondering why my comment from yesterday was suppressed.
as you will no doubt recall, I pointed out that there are no hydrogen cars yet in existence, that anyone driving a hummer is not any kind of environmentalist, and that only genuine, immediate and deep (i.e. ca. 80 % globally) cuts in carbon emissions have any chance of averting the worst climate disaster, and that ethanol is making global warming WORSE by destroying old growth foresst to make room for corn fields.
Report thiswassa matter?
to many facts for you??

Top twenty reasons the US should further lead the way in contributing to Global Warming and Climate Change:
Causing the extinction of polar bears is a lot of fun. 200,000 years of having them around is long enough.
We can burn all the coal, oil, and gas we want. And cut down all the rainforests too.
Hurricanes R US. And more storms and floods. Hurricane Katrina provided ethnic cleansing in its most natural form.
Millennial type drought and massive desertification has its own form of austere beauty.
The stimulating effects of mass migration are underestimated. For example, the resulting wars and other conflicts are likely to be quite profitable for those best positioned.
[Etc.]

Sounds like a scene from the movie “Rapanui” - the leaders of an ancient tribe all boarded a passing iceberg and were never seen or heard of again, ha ha!
In drought-affected countries like Australia, the politicians have been talking and talking while waiting for the water to run out - and it soon will!
What will peoples’ reactions be when the water finally does dry up - or when there is again no substantial assistance from other regions when the next Katrina strikes?
