Conservative Group Planning Massive Energy Waste With ‘Carbon Belch Day’.

In what one could possibly call the biggest group effort in the practice of ignorance and stupidity, we now have this:

Conservative grassroots group Grassfire.org wants people to waste as much energy as possible on June 12 by “hosting a barbecue, going for a drive, watching television, leaving a few lights on, or even smoking a few cigars.”

Grassfire.org said it chose June 12 as the day it wants Americans to rev up their SUVs because it coincides with expected debate in Congress over a $1.2 billion carbon tax rebate program. “Carbon Belch Day will have at least as much impact on the so-called ‘planetary emergency’ of man-made global warming as the goofy save the earth mandates telling us to turn our lights off for an hour.”

I am not making this up. As I have written before, even if global warming is not happening, why do some people think it is a good idea to waste energy and pollute? I will never understand the mentality of these kind of people…ever.
