I am watching the drag races..funny cars...what is the carbon footprint of a drag car? How much coal is burnt to produce one? How much coal is burnt to maintain and race one?
Some dragsters use 60 liters for a run..thirty to warm up and thirty down the short track...and apparently the engine life is under two minutes..so how much coal to build an engine that lives such a short life... so I wonder what their carbon foot print could be...why did they address light globes with filaments before they failed to address racing cars boats and planes.
Why wring our hands about the co2 and turn a blind eye to the wasteful consumption.
Why even bother to take readings each year as to the parts per million of co2...do we need more data to work out that wasteful consumption of resourses is a problem in itself...and so I brand myself a hypocrite..instead of refusing to watch the car racing and the tractor pulling I like so many other hypocrites look on rather than turn away and deny these idiots the attention they crave...so perhaps the first place to work upon the problem is to reject and outcast all those who greedily consume resources that I am sure our futher generations will need to exist.
I am taking the first step by turning off the drags so to deny them at least one little humans support and approval...just imagine if we could get everyone to treat greed with the disgust it deserves.
So lets do nothing other than gather more data and grizzle about a problem we refuse to address by stamping out greedy and wastful consumption.
