Why Carbon Belch?
In this world of carbon credits and endless "Green" propaganda, why would we encourage tens of thousands of people to increase their CO2 output on Carbon Belch Day?
Because Al Gore's "planetary emergency" is a bunch of hot air…
Because shrinking your "carbon footprint" is not going to save the world from doom…
Because CO2 isn't even a pollutant -- life needs CO2…
Because energy is the fuel of human progress and man is not the "bad guy"…
Because the real "planetary emergency" is the coming $1.2 Carbon Tax…
And because it's fun and your Carbon Belch might actually do some good!
What you should do on June 12!
Super-cool your house (turn A/C down 5 degrees)
Don't recycle glass/plastic/aluminum/newspapers for one day
Take a plane trip
Eat meat with at least two meals (steak dinner a bonus)
Mow your lawn with gas-powered mower
Leave two light bulbs on for entire day
Hang/light one string of Christmas lights
Host a barbecue with lots of friends – charcoal (11lbs/hr) or gas (5.6lbs/hr)
Drink beer
Watch television
Light a campfire
Do partial load of laundry
Take an 8-minute shower
Leave computer on 24 hours
Drink bottled water
