Just because the lefties at Google were too spiteful to acknowledge Easter is no reason not to be gracious enough to wish liberals a joyous Vladimir Lenin’s Birthday — or as adherents to Lenin’s authoritarian collectivist ideology now prefer to call it, Earth Day. Via Soopermexican and Weasel Zippers, this graphic provides some background that should add depth to the celebrations (click for full size):
I run a massive dump fire that can be smelled for miles on Earth Day. This year I burned some old bike tires, 20 quarts of old oil, plastic furniture and the back seat out of a Buick Century. It smoked like hell and is still burning. LOL. My kid equates the day with burning everything that isn't bolted down in the barn. My fires starter is last years Christmas tree that I save just for the event.

Quote: Rev wrote in post #3We celebrated by having a magnificent dinner this evening with Spotted Owl a l'Orange as the main course.
I found the Spotted Owl delicious, but it's a little saltier than California Condor.
Tonight our celebration continues with a bonfire of Chevy Volt tires and we'll roast leatherback sea turtle on a stick.
Turns out logging had nothing to do with the Spotted Owl's demise. The barred owls were eating them. Would that they did the same to all those freakin' Gaia worshipping ass clowns called environmentalists.
Look at the rubbish spewed at the first Earth Day in 1970. Typical of these loons they do not care if what they predict is true, it's the chilling effect on progress that fuels them saying these things. Is there any possible natural disaster or accumulation of disasters that does not completely prove Man-Made global warming? Everything predicts global warming, even a steady trend toward global cooling. Yep that proves it as well!
Earth Day predictions of 1970. The reason you shouldn’t believe Earth Day predictions of 2009. by editor on April 22, 2009 For the next 24 hours, the media will assault us with tales of imminent disaster that always accompany the annual Earth Day Doom & Gloom Extravaganza.
Ignore them. They’ll be wrong. We’re confident in saying that because they’ve always been wrong. And always will be.
Need proof? Here are some of the hilarious, spectacularly wrong predictions made on the occasion of Earth Day 1970.
“We have about five more years at the outside to do something.” • Kenneth Watt, ecologist “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” • George Wald, Harvard Biologist
“We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.” • Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist
“Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.” • New York Times editorial, the day after the first Earth Day
“Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” • Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
“By…[1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.” • Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
“It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.” • Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day
“Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” • Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University
“Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half….” • Life Magazine, January 1970
“At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” • Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
Kenneth Watt??? Must be the brother of James Watt, remember him?
