I’m amazed at all of my fellow bloggers who are posting on so-called Blog Action Day.   Today, bloggers around the world are supposed to unite, sing a chorus of Kumbaya and comment on the environment and offer up suggestions to “reduce your carbon footprint.”

 Sorry, but I won’t be participating in adding to the global warming panic created by nitwits like Al “Nobel” Gore; so I won’t be quoting his Web site.

I consider myself to be a common sense environmentalist: I recycle my weekly mountain of newspapers, packaging, bottles and cans.  I plan errands to knock out a bunch of stops in one trip, more to save time than anything else. Plus I do basic winterization of my home, more to save on natural gas bills than any carbon footprint.

These are the kinds of things I think many people do without having to resort to the ridiculous steps of over-priced, death trap, hybrid cars or Sheryl “One Sheet” Crow.

I drive a big honkin’ SUV, love red meat and imported strawberries year round.

I’ve done enough research to see the unintended consequences of radical environmentalism, like millions of deaths caused not by the use of DDT, but from malaria, which could have been curbed except for the banning of DDT.

I’ve also researched the last extended period of warming that the earth experienced, the Little Climatic Optimum where the planet’s inhabitants experienced a positive impact from temperature elevation rather than the catastrophe predicted by the environmental whack-a-moles. 

The LCO occurred during Medieval Times, which leads me to conclude the global warming likely has more to do with the S U N than the S U V.
