It is the nature of civilization to use energy and it’s the nature of liberalism to feel bad about it.

I don’t believe I have ever seen a single line that sums up the core issue of liberalism as it relates to global warming. 

The above quote came from the first story I found today.

Gore Movie Contains ‘One of the Single Stupidest Statements Ever Put on Film’

Though Austin Chronicle writer Robert Bryce is likely not a household name, his column published in Thursday’s Energy Tribune is a must-read for all anthropogenic global warming skeptics.

In “Al Gore’s Zero Emissions Makes Zero Sense,” Bryce not only skewered the Global Warmingist in Chief’s schlockumentary “An Inconvenient Truth,” but he also deliciously mocked all the sycophant devotees of the former vice president that have failed to recognize the obvious as they tour the country professing imminent planetary doom at the hands of a naturally occurring gas that happens to be a necessity to all forms of life.

Here’s my review: it is an overly simplistic look at a complex problem and it concludes with one of the single stupidest statements ever put on film. Yes, that’s harsh criticism. But it’s the right one, given that just before the final credits, in a segment addressing what individuals can do about global warming, the following line appears onscreen: “In fact, you can even reduce your carbon emissions to zero.”

This statement is so blatantly absurd that I am still stunned, weeks after watching Gore’s movie, that none of the dozens of smart people involved in the production of the movie - including, particularly, Gore himself - paused to wonder aloud something to the effect of, “Hey, what about breathing? Don’t we produce carbon dioxide through respiration?”

I recommend that all liberals who really care about GW as a serious life threatening issue stop breathing this instant or practice what they preach.

Absurd indeed.
