Stupid letter of the day

And this one has it all. It's by a climate nutcase, so its stupidity goes almost without saying, but it has that alluring mix of barely restrained hysteria coupled with an almost complete lack of understanding about even very basic facts. As I understand it, current global greenhouse gas emissions are something in the order of 40 billion tonnes annually, and rising. I suppose it would be a pointless waste of time telling this idiot that even taking every single SUV of the road today would not substantially reduce this. But of course it isn't that greenies actually care about science or facts, the SUV is simply a convenient symbol for the modern prosperous world that they hate so much, and thus any excuse to drone on about how they are killing "millions and millions of innocent men, women and children" every single day. Millions and millions? Every single day? Enjoy: All you people who own and drive gas-guzzling SUVs out there, as far as I'm concerned, you are all eco-terrorists! You need to beimmediately arrested, jailed and have your vehicles forcibly confiscated from you. I advocate long prison terms for your willful idiocy! You are destroying your children's future by condemning them to a planet that will not support life anymore because you are belching out ungodly amounts of CO2 from your SUVs, causing irreversible global climate change to occur. Are you aware that millions and millions of innocent men, women and children are dying on this planet every single day, just so you can live in million dollar condos and drive around in luxury vehicles? I urge the Obama administration and the state legistlatures to immediately criminalize all SUVs and stop this insanity before it destroys us all! If you wasteful American idiots resist, may you be either thrown into government-operated FEMA concentration camps or taken out and shot. Take it from Richard Heinberg and his book, “The Party's Over.” Get it through your thick heads! Enough of your madness! Wren Guzman Via SondraK
