AGW Today: Rent Clothes To Save The World!

Written By : William Teach

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

GREAT! Now Al Gore will be going into the clothes-rental business.

If it were a religion – yes. But it is not. It is a response to the climate events occurring around, over and below us.

Monty Python would never mock AGW, they are hard core lefties. They mocked the establishment and culture of their day because it was right-leaning. Now that the establishment and culture of the day is left-leaning they’d… still mock the right. Which would mean it wouldn’t be nearly as funny or lasting.

Gee, aren’t a lot of clothes made in places like Indonesia, Bangledesh, and other places that will supposedly be hit hard by global warming?

Now they’ll all be unemployed instead. Oh but I’m sure on top of our global warming taxes we’ll have to pay more taxes for unemployment benefits to islanders put out of work by saving the planet.

Endorse your whole paycheck directly to Al Gore or you’re either murdering or impoverishing the Third World.

If it ever comes to having to rent underwear, I’m going commando.

I’m just sayin’

Seriously, could WRAP look any more like a Marxist cheerleader?

No it’s not! It’s about controlling EVERY aspect of a person’s life, climate has been changing on Earth since the second it had CLIMATE. It’s been both far hooter world wide than is now and far colder, and NONE of it was man-kinds faul;t, NONE. So take your idiocy and complete ignorance and shove them, never-show.

Of course the proper answer to Global Warming(tm) would be the state deciding what you use, where you use it, at every moment of your life.

Oh, no, wait, that doesn’t even make the slightest shred of sense. It’s obviously a power grab, I’m left wondering just HOW can it be made any less subtle. Maybe they’ll play sinister pianos in the background when they announce that the State owns all the land, and you’re going to have to pay the rent (provided you’re One Of The Good Guys, of course).

Really, paranoia about the government turning you into a stained puppet is more insane than classing the concerns about the planet being in danger as a religion.

All the palaver about the previous vicissitudes of the earth’s climate have no bearing upon what effect humans are having on it today.

“Really, paranoia about the government turning you into a stained puppet is more insane than classing the concerns about the planet being in danger as a religion.”

You’re partially right. Not even the most shameless televangelist makes such crass appeals to their followers for donations based on guilt as the global warming elite do.

The thought experiment of the Flying Spaghetti Monster is a much better fit…and just as credible as AGW.

This is correct, before that wind has nothing left to blow through but graveyards.

BULL and SHIT!!! Man’s effects on climate is so miniscule it’s completely irrelevant. And discounting past climate cycles is not only naive, it’s downright stupid. Since life has flourished in both major extremes, there is little if any cause for concern. All life is capable of adapting to the change, those that don’t will be replaced, it’s all a cycle. The dinosaurs were the height of Earth’s warmest periods, the mammoth the height of our coldest. They’re all gone, replaced by others that adapted.

For someone who’s legend in his own mind, you’re awfully DUMB.

Dear G-d, but you are a complete MORON. Climate has only ever killed off those who cannot adapt. Man is the most adaptable species ever on this big beautiful planet. Ergo, we will survive because we can and will adapt.

Those who believe in and understand Evolution realize that species can fail to adapt and die off. This awaits homo sapiens sapiens if they continue to foul their own nest.

See now this part is WHY the GW nonsense is upon us. When the enviroweenies yelled and screamed about pollution (with an Italian acting the part of a native american) the rest of the world looked up and said, “Hey, they have a point.” And boom, companies started policing themselves and scaled back dumping and harsh polluting of the environment. And as you know, a cause without a cause must then go find a replacement. Why do you think the FOUNDER of Greenpeace LEFT the organization. He knew that it was going from “good science” and “not fouling the nest” to a geo-political totalitarian dictatorship that puts Hollyweird movies to shame. Follow the money. Where is all the “GW” money going? Al Gore and his false prophets. With money comes control.

Since humans are the most adaptable of all species. We’re capable of surving mothes in artic conditions, desserts, jungle, etc. We flourish after tsunamies, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes and hurricanes. And you’re worried about 3 degrees warming in the next 100 years. That’s just f&cking retarded.

A judge in England ruled that extremist environmentalism is a religion and due civil rights protections of a religion. Here’s what the plaintiff said about it:

“It is the moral and ethical values that I hold that have motivated me to action on climate change and these moral and ethical values are similar to those promoted by the world’s major religions.”

Perhaps Realidiot would be so kind as to enlighten the rest of us regarding what the correct temperature of Earth is supposed to be, and how he arrived at that number.
