Response to a Global Warmer Who Won’t Take Action Until Everyone Else Does

It’s a comment by Scott Graves to a post at Scott Adams’ Blog (which will be a LOTD soon). It’s out of context, and it has some swears, so I’m just going to clean it up and post it here:


I’m on disability and can’t afford to mess the planet up like [hypocritical celebrity global warming alarmist] Leo[nardo DiCaprio] and his buddies do. People on the low end of the economic spectrum don’t have much more to give up. My thermostat sets at 65 in the winter and 75 in the summer. I can’t afford a higher electric bill. I drive a late 2000 Buick that gets pretty good mileage for what it is. I keep it in good running order to save even more gas because I can’t afford to waste gas money. We live in a small two bedroom apartment. We eat pretty low on the hog, mostly chicken, beans and rice. Beef is a rare treat for us. Not getting live lobster flown in fresh from Maine here.

My point is we on the lower part of the economic spectrum don’t have a whole lot of carbon footprint to reduce. Leo and his buddies do have a lot they can reduce. Yachts, sports cars, limos, mansions, fancy food, and all the entourage cost a lot and wind up with an enormous carbon footprint. When we say “you first” to Algore and DiCrapio, we don’t mean “and then we’ll sacrifice,” we mean come down to our level and THEN talk about sacrifice.
