Carbon Belch Day
Posted by Harvey at 07:20 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (22)

Coming up June 12th. That's this Thursday.

I'm planning to do my part:

Because I care about the Minnesotans:

There should be 6 stars for music videos like that!

Piker!

It just so happens that I work in South America, and on Carbon Belch Day I will be flying to the good ol' USA for some (well deserved) home leave. My wife will be driving to the airport to meet me.

To welcome me home again, my wife has planned a barbecue for us and our neighbors; we will drink beer and we will have all kinds of lights on for hours; I am betting that a bunch of the recycle isn't going to make it into the recycle bins; and on and on.

I came in over 4,000 pounds worth of Carbon Belch.

#2 - Posted by: ss396 on June 8, 2008 09:17 AM

Wow, 152 pounds! I thought I was doing well at 89 pounds. I stand humbled by your efforts.

#3 - Posted by: COBOL Poet on June 8, 2008 10:10 AM

I came in at 158 lbs.

The irony about all this is ... the expense of complying with the agenda of the Climate Change Cult may lead to a reduction of attention towards other, REAL environmental issues.

It is our prosperity gives us the “luxury” of directing resources to protect the environment. You impair that, by inhibiting the time-management flexibility and freedom-of-movement that are facilitated by our present transportation and utility infrastructures, and you might just find that the environment ends up worse off for it … not better.

When your economic situation makes you wonder where your next meal is coming from, you are more likely to fillet Willy than to free him.

I'm so cheered up from watching that video, and from taking the carbon belch test, that I'm going to burn a log in my fireplace and crank up my a/c to compensate. (I believe Richard Nixon used to do that in the Oval Office - what a guy!) Thank you! I needed that!

#5 - Posted by: Captain Planet (not) on June 8, 2008 03:25 PM

I wish I could have made 4000 pounds but I came in at a measly 580. Cigars and Beer and a 430 mile road trip are great. What's even better is I get to do it all again 4 days later.

#6 - Posted by: AJ on June 8, 2008 04:05 PM

Ummm...I like the music and all but the two guys in the video are obviously plants! They are either two dill weeds shipped in from California or sent south across the border from Canada. They look fairly gay so I'm guessing Canada... It's ok though because we have protected our black bears and have trained them to sic dill weed meat. These two have probably been pooped out on a log somewhere near Ely by now...

#7 - Posted by: ussjimmycarter on June 8, 2008 04:34 PM

Meh... All I got was a measly 105lbs./CB. I feel as though I need to commit arson just to alleviate my guilt.

Local ACLU branch, here I come!

#8 - Posted by: AlanABQ on June 8, 2008 05:03 PM

HA! You lightweights! I'm moving from minnesota to Arizona that day, belching well over 3800 lbs!! Only AJ has me beat, but I'm taking my tax money with me, so the socialist state of minn can kiss my carbon belching a$$!!!

#9 - Posted by: on June 8, 2008 06:13 PM

Man, that site really cheered me up. I was just thinking, "we need some sort of big website to get lots of media attention that just makes fun of the global warming idiots." This is perfect.

I just hope 20 years from now, we can look back at this and say, "man, remember when all those nutjobs were all up in arms about global warming? Yeah, that fad was even shorter lived than the pet rock thing."

#10 - Posted by: Ernie Loco on June 8, 2008 07:33 PM

That video was awesome! Being from MN, I got a great big kick out of it. My husband was getting really sick of shoveling the global warming off the driveway in April.
I will also do my best in as many ways as possible to make our carbon belch even bigger! I'm going to tell as many conservative friends as I possibly can to check out the petition website.

#11 - Posted by: tamaita on June 8, 2008 09:33 PM

Remind me to do lots of multi-orifice belching on June 12, too. Let's see, Monday: cabbage and onions. Tuesday, Wednesday: beans and peppers. Thursday, June 12: hard-boiled eggs and beer.

Gotta get my methane and hydrogen sulfide up. Methane is 28 times as good as CO2 as an earth blanket. And the hydrogen sulfide keeps the women away.

#12 - Posted by: Jimmy on June 8, 2008 09:36 PM

YES Minnesota FTW!!!

Its awesome thats getting circulation,

#13 - Posted by: jake von MN!!! on June 8, 2008 11:24 PM

I'm glad someone is thinking about the trees this time, instead of plotting to steal their CO2 and 'sequester' it underground.

#14 - Posted by: George guy on June 9, 2008 12:11 AM

That's such a good point; plants need CO2 to function, but the ecotards do all they can to make sure that CO2 emissions are curbed at every turn. So do they hate the plants or not?

To me, this so typical of the liberal primates; claim loudly to be against what you're secretly for while opposing the very things that enable you to do just that...kinda like watching Obambi supporters utilize a flag that they're just going to desecrate later.

That's like "La Raza against Racism".

#15 - That's such a good point; plants need CO2 to function, but the ecotards do all they can to make sure that CO2 emissions are curbed at every turn. So do they hate the plants or not?

You raise a good question. A lot of these ecotards are vegetarians who make a big in-your-face deal about the fact that their diet is only plants. It had never occurred to me that it might be because they hate them.

#16 - Posted by: ss396 on June 9, 2008 09:07 AM

I.m just glad I am not the only one who is pro-global warming.
Remember,
Warmer temperatures = longer lives.
Warmer Temps = more food production.
Warmer Temps = less frost bite.
Warmer Temps = fewer people dying from the cold.
Warmer Temps = less money spent on heating homes.
Warmer Temps = Hotter girls wearing less clothing!
Warmer Temps = More beaches that are not freaking cold during spring break.
Warmer Temps = More days of the year you can barb-e-q.
Warmer Temps = Fewer man eating polar bears.
Warmer Temps = easier access to oil reserves in Alaska, plus possible undiscovered sights possibly in Antarctica.

You had me at "belch."

93 lbs for me. I'll be proud to eat steak, watch 12 hours of TV, and leave two light bulbs burning all day this Thursday.

#18 - Posted by: NunyaB on June 9, 2008 11:18 AM

I ran it twice: first as what I do on a normal day, I came in at 169 pounds. Second, I pumped up a few "reasonable" things like eating steak and turning down my AC just for C/B day, and I got 178 pounds. I feel like a rockstar. Next year for C/B day I plan on slow-roasting Algore over an open pit fire using select Malaysian hardwoods I flew over there personally to retrieve with an oversized, gas-powered chainsaw. :)

#19 - Posted by: steadyrock on June 9, 2008 04:30 PM

Your one-day Carbon Belch has been calculated at: 199 pounds of CO2.

( well... i kinda cheated and used the tuesday flight back from orlando, but i'm pretty sure all that CO2 is still up there killing the cloud fairies everyone's so worried about... ozones, i think they're called...)

#20 - Posted by: shane on June 12, 2008 03:06 PM

crap. recalculated to see what it was sans plane ride and that's the 199.

with the flight from orlando to memphis, it's 1171.

hehe... too bad it didn't calculate for having more than 1 computer. i have at least 3 running 24-7.

#21 - Posted by: shane on June 12, 2008 03:10 PM

'Salads are only for murderers!
Coleslaw's a fascist regime!
Don't think that they don't have feelings
Just 'cause a radish can't scream!

I've heard the screams of the vegetables
having their skins being peeled!
Grated and steamed without mercy;
How do you think that feels?'

quoted without permission: 'Carrot Juice is Murder', by the Arrogant Worms. 1994

Ask the next vegan you meet if the plants they're eating died of natural causes or were humanely euthanized before being butchered!
