Satire Alert: Fight Greenie Alarmism with Carbon Belch Day!

This is glorious!

The best way to combat cheerless sanctimonous Greenies (or cheerless sanctimonious anybody, really) is with a good dose of humor, spoof, parody, and satire. This latest parody hits back at the apocalyptic predictions of global doom and its wicked handmaids, carbon caps/taxes, Kyoto, and various other forms of government-induced, guilt-driven, green-tinged overreach and foolishness.

Blurb:

Smoke cigars, do a partial load of laundry, drink bottled water and feel no shame. That's what a campaign against a carbon trading bill is urging.

The latest parody of the proliferation of "green" social-networking sites and eco-friendly events comes via "Carbon Belch Day," a campaign from the conservative Grassfire.org alliance that encourages people to pollute as much as possible on June 12.

So far, more than 140,000 people have signed a petition against "climate alarmism," according to Ron De Jong, spokesman for Grassfire.org.

Here is the official website for Carbon Belch Day.

(Its equally humorous cousins include World Jump Day, CheatNeutral, and this Daily Mash satire of Live Earth concerts.)

Oh, and according to the Carbon Belch Calculator, I'll dump 64 pounds of CO2 on Gaia today. I'm sure that's wrong. I'm sure I'm actually dumping much, much more. Hee hee!
