If belief in man caused global warming is a religion, it is a really silly one. I suspect that if Monty Python were still doing skits, they would have a tough time attempting to make a joke out of the global warming more than the Disciples Of Gore already do
Large wardrobes of seldom-used clothes are no longer environmentally acceptable and people should instead rent outfits and accessories, according to the Government’s waste watchdog.
The Waste & Resources Action Programme (Wrap) claims that overcoming our obsession with owning goods could be a “secret weapon†in meeting climate change targets. It has called for a fifth of all household spending, £148 billion out of an annual total of £732 billion, to be converted to renting by 2020.
In a report published today the watchdog calls for the transformation of a large part of the retail sector into a service industry specialising in renting goods, with each item used by many different people during its lifetime.
WRAP is non-profit backed by government funding (much like ACORN.) And what they are calling for is what the AGW movement is all about: control. Control of economies, control of private citizens, and control of countries, all in the name of a fake issue. Soon, we will all look like bag ladies, or those unhinged liberals we see demonstrating in San Francisco
Shifting a fifth of household spending from purchasing to renting would cut emissions by about 2 per cent, or 13 million tonnes of CO2 a year, through a fall in manufacturing and lower consumption of raw materials.
And people who are out of work do not drive to work, saving more CO2!
Guess who gets hurt? The poor, that’s right! The people who are quite often the recipients of used clothing. Well, they will just have to suck it up, buttercup, to save Gaia from those evil clothing buyers.
On the subject of religion
You Could Not Make It Up: Belief in man-made climate change as important as religious faith?
Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truth sequel stresses spiritual argument on climate
OMG !!! More record high temps we are all gonna die this time in AZ and Las Vegas this could be the beginning of the End Times like in the Bible. 93 degrees !! In Nov. Someplace. oh here it is Tucson !! http://www.azstarnet.com/sn/hourlyupdate/316179.php
Certainly Teach you would agree that these high records are as deserving of note as low temps records.
And yes Teach renting clothes as a way to be more environmentally conscious is an easy target, but what about the Army and the Navy ? Are they fools for believing in AGW, and did you note that in the army study AGW was specifically mentioned ?
JR–
Wouldn’t it be better to listen to real scientists than the political appointees of the military?
