Yesterday was Earth Day, and our environmentalist betters were jet-setting around the world celebrating, and pumping tons of CO2 into the atmosphere while burning tons of jet fuel... but, as they say, it was for a good cause dont you know? If you would rather belly laugh at their folly instead of just being irritated or even angry about it, click through for some Mark Steyn as he lambasts them into oblivion. We are so bad, so polluting, so exploitative, so violent, so destructive that we owe it to the world not to be born in the first place. As Dr Sue Blackmore wrote in Britains Guardian: ... (She then goes on to describe how WE need to eliminate ourselves by the billions and let civilization collapse, all for the betterment of Mother Gaia. However, there are some of us who should be saved, of course. Steyn speculates on just who those would be.) Hmm. On the one hand, Dr Sue Blackmore and the bloke from Coldplay. On the other, Dick Cheney. I think we can all agree which people would be needed – Al Gore, the board of the Sierra Club, perhaps Scarlett Johansson in a fur-trimmed bikini paddling a dugout canoe through a waterlogged Manhattan foraging for floating curly endives from once fashionable eateries. Curiously, those environmentalists calling for a dramatically smaller population never seem to lead by example, and always manage to give the impression that no matter how small the ark is theyre a shoo-in for a first-class stateroom. More, lots more... funny stuff. Enjoy!
