Happy Urf Day

by

Today is Earth Day, a day started by Left-Wing Environmental Extremists and murderers to help further the cause of dismantling global free enterprise and human advancement generally. Mr. President Obama has an aggressive Urf Day agenda:

Today is Earth Day. President Obama will mark the day by flying from Washington, D.C. to Washington state — 2,328 miles, generating 568,032 pounds of carbon emissions at 244 pounds per mile — and then beginning his week-long trip to Asia, flying tonight to Tokyo —  4,792 miles, an additional 1,169,248 pounds of carbon emissions. The two trips add up to 1.73 million pounds of carbon or 868.64 tons.

For perspective, the average American generates about 19 tons of carbon dioxide in one year.

This figure does not count the carbon emissions from the president’s backup plane, cargo planes transporting the president’s limo and helicopter, advance staff, etc.

However, in a move even his most ardent supporters identified as blatantly political, Mr. Obama once again delayed a decision on the Keystone XL pipeline. A San Francisco based billionaire hedge fund manager heavily invested in solar and wind projects had pledged to spend $100 Million to help elect Democrats in 2014 in return for blocking the Keystone XL pipeline.

  1. I love how you called it “Urf” Day – somehow fitting, as the mindless drones who follow the DNC and other libtard groups seem to have difficulty in verbally conveying basic knowledge:

    “Ain’t dat da troof?”

  2. It will cost the taxpayer more for Pres. Obama to visit the Washington-state landslide-site, than the entire cost of the rescue and recovery effort. **grinning idiot**

  3. Earth Day has been hijacked by the far left. We did and still do pollute this wonderful planet. However, what we need are laws to protect the environment, not the looney ones currently coming from Washington and elsewhere.

  4. There is a difference between utilizing all possible sources of energy and managing resource consumption and purifying emissions in a sane manner, and the cultish fanaticism and political slue-footing that we are seeing.

    We have made a great deal of progress towards cleaning the emissions produced by coal, and natural gas is both the cleanest and most plentiful fossil fuel in the U.S. I am not kidding when I say that we could reduce OPEC to economic irrelevance with the amount of coal, oil, and gas that we have.

  7. #4 I remember the what Northeast industrial cities looked like in the 60’s and 70’s. Even in cities that still enjoy a manufacturing base, the difference in the quality of the air and water between then and now is nothing short of amazing. For comparison, visit China or some of the former Eastern Bloc countries.

    #5 The Twitter commenter is incorrect. Anthropgenic Global Warming is taught every day in public schools.

    #6 I believe you’re referring to the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption. That eruption injected 22,000,000 tons of SO2 into the atmosphere, and brought tens of thousands of tons of toxic heavy metals into the surface environment. The aerosol cloud lowered global temperatures by nearly 1F.
