Anyone giving up carbon for Lent?

[Adeodatus]

I’m going to give up Dubnium. Who needs this Communist element anyway? As a transactinide it’s all over the map. Typical confused Commie stuff. Eat a plate of Db265 and you’re hungry again in a half hour. But chow down on Db268 and you’re done for almost two and a half days! Now that’s an inconvenient truth, brother.

Can you really trust Dubnium? Crouching there, beetle-browed betwixt Rutherfordium and equally aloof Seaborgium? So I’ve decided that for Lent I’m going to eliminate Dubnium from my lifestyle completely.

Someone phone Al Gore and give him the good news. One less American will be consuming transactinide transition metals this Lenten season. It’s not just good for me, it’s good for all of us.

Just remember, Al Gore didn’t invent the internet. He invented Global Warming.

You know what I might give up for lent.

Beating up on left wing greenies

What? Beating up on left wing greenies?

Apparently you guys haven’t heard of the recent DISCOVERY of what they are reffering to as the “LIVE SEA SCROLLS”.

Apparently these scrolls contain some “Lost” writings of the apostles, when documenting the Sermon on the Mount. This is why at least two dioceses are recomending eliminating CO2 for Lent.

Here follows the “lost” entries to this sermon:

Blessed are the poor in carbon: for theirs is fresh air.
Blessed are the carbonless in heart: for they shall feel no global warming.
Blessed are the pure without carbon: for they shall see Nature, and Tree Huggers.
Rejoice, and be exceedingly glad, that you eliminate all Co2, and methane, for great
is your reward from Al Gore.

 

[JohnMPhilomena]

I’m giving up carbon dioxide as we speak.

Lies! You’ll be robbed blind. xD

This is carbon/global warming garbage and darn near heretical for the catholic church. I wish the Pope could do something about it, but apparently it will be a little bit before anything can be done to stop the agenda push. I hope the california catholics are up in arms about this.

 

[JimG]

I’m going to try to exhale even more CO2 for the benefit of trees and plants, who need it to do photosynthesis and produce oxygen. And I need oxygen. More CO2 = more trees and plants = more O2 produced. It’s a love fest all around.

More Inconvenient Truths - eh?

Me too. I just drank a sugarless soda, filled with CO2. But, I am keeping it inside of me, and not releasing to the atmosphere.

I think we should all go around, and drink up all the CO2 we can, and keep it to ourselves. This will clean up the air faster than anything else I can think of.

"Doing my part, against Global Warming.!!!

I’ve given up licking my car’s tailpipe for lent. Does that count?

According to the newsletter, “the Archdiocese of Washington’s Environmental Outreach Committee has created a particularly useful new tool: a calendar that lists 40 carbon-fasting measures individuals can take to reduce their carbon footprint.” The newsletter provides a link to the full calendar.

What make’s this whole concept so pathetic is that we all know what the biggest carbon dioxide footprint is. The private automobile. Me? I live in Los Angeles, not exactly a pedestrian paradise. Pedestrians are divided into two groups, the quick and the dead. Same for bicyclelists and motorcyclists. Public Transportation? A bitter joke. And anywhere you need to go is far away.

Electricity is generated by burning fossile fuels, which generate carbon dioxide. How much electricity can you cut back on? Turn off your TV?

This whole thing is pathetic, because it is the worship of the new god known as Al Gore.

Here is a synopsis of the list.

1. Remove One light Bulb.
2. Turn down your thermostat by at least one degree.
3. Go meat Free today.
4. Carpool bike or walk, today.
5. Collect “grey water” to water the plants.
6. Check windows/doors for leaks.
7. Turn off appliances not used for over an hour.
8. Turn off water while scrubbing dishes. Take a shower instead of a bath.
9. Let your dishwasher breathe.
10. Buy locally grown food.
11. Use reusable bags, for groceries.
12. Turn washing machine to “cold/cold”.
13. Speak out, make leaders take climate action now.
14. Turn off lights.
15. Don’t waste food. Eat leftovers.
16. Consider composting.
17. Pick up one piece of litter on the ground.
18. Don’t fly when traveling.

Nothing on this list, is a reference to Jesus Christ. It is all in honor of Al Gore, their new god.

It is a travesty that they can take the 40 days of remembrance to our Lord being crucified, and turn it into an Al Gore mantra.

Losing our Religion - carbon reduction for Lent.

Look, I was ten years in the US NAVY. Nothing but showers. I HATE showers. I want a long, hot soak in a bubble bath. I want to wallow like a whale. It has been YEARS since I had a shower and I want to keep it that way.

Amybody else here into bubble baths?:clapping:

Oh, that Al Gore thingy. Just about as bad as hijacking poor St. Francis as some sort of environmental superstar. :banghead:

 

[Chipper]

:tiphat::tiphat::tiphat:

My hat is off to you. Thank you for your service to our country.

I was in for only Six years.

Nothing but showers. I HATE showers. I want a long, hot soak in a bubble bath. I want to wallow like a whale. It has been YEARS since I had a shower and I want to keep it that way.

Actually I love showers. But I think for this Lent I will give up showers and take a bath instead. After all isn’t that the goal? to give up something we like?

Amybody else here into bubble baths?:clapping:

Actually, no, but since it’s lent I will try it.

 

[spn82756]

Well!!! I can see that no one even cares that I’ve given up licking my car’s tailpipe! I’m going home.

 

[Chipper]

Oh, in the heat of the battle we must have let it slip by.

Congratulations on giving up Licking Your Tailpipe. I for one, think it is very commendable.

 

[JohnMPhilomena]

Well!!! I can see that no one even cares that I’ve given up licking my car’s tailpipe! I’m going home.

I bet you can’t wait till lent is over so you can get back to licking your tailpipe.

But - how does that reduce carbon?

I did see an analysis that concluded that giving up your pet would reduce carbon by more than driving an SUV. I loved that one. Non of the tree huggers would go for it though.

By the way, I have a BIG SUV for hauling around my 8 carbon producing children. I’m proud of my large carbon footprint!

Seriously, we need to take reasonable steps to take care of the environment, but this hysterical nonsense is just a big get rich quick scheme by Al Gore, the governement, and businesses hoping to capitalize on green technologies.
