You beat me too it.
I do love how libturds gloss over the many sociopaths in their own ranks.
Then they're apoplectic when no one gives a shit about accusations Trump banged a porn star 10 years ago.

Happy Earth Day and to its Founder who then murdered his girlfriend but stayed green by composting her body.
/——-/ you are a good little tool./——/ I plan on burning a gallon or two of used motor oil in the back yard.Here are 18 examples of the spectacularly wrong predictions made around 1970 when the “green holy day” (aka Earth Day) started:
1. Harvard biologist George Wald estimated that “civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.”
2. “We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation,” wrote Washington University biologist Barry Commoner in the Earth Day issue of the scholarly journal Environment.
3. The day after the first Earth Day, the New York Times editorial page warned, “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.”
4. “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make,” Paul Ehrlich confidently declared in the April 1970 Mademoiselle. “The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.”
5. “Most of the people who are going to die in the greatest cataclysm in the history of man have already been born,” wrote Paul Ehrlich in a 1969 essay titled “Eco-Catastrophe! “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.”
6. Ehrlich sketched out his most alarmist scenario for the 1970 Earth Day issue of The Progressive, assuring readers that between 1980 and 1989, some 4 billion people, including 65 million Americans, would perish in the “Great Die-Off.”
7. “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation,” declared Denis Hayes, the chief organizer for Earth Day, in the Spring 1970 issue of The Living Wilderness.
8. Peter Gunter, a North Texas State University professor, wrote in 1970, “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.”
9. In January 1970, Life reported, “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….”
10. Ecologist Kenneth Watt told Time that, “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.”
11. Barry Commoner predicted that decaying organic pollutants would use up all of the oxygen in America’s rivers, causing freshwater fish to suffocate.
12. Paul Ehrlich chimed in, predicting in his 1970 that “air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” Ehrlich sketched a scenario in which 200,000 Americans would die in 1973 during “smog disasters” in New York and Los Angeles.
13. Paul Ehrlich warned in the May 1970 issue of Audubon that DDT and other chlorinated hydrocarbons “may have substantially reduced the life expectancy of people born since 1945.” Ehrlich warned that Americans born since 1946…now had a life expectancy of only 49 years, and he predicted that if current patterns continued this expectancy would reach 42 years by 1980, when it might level out.
14. Ecologist Kenneth Watt declared, “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am very sorry, there isn’t any.'”
15. Harrison Brown, a scientist at the National Academy of Sciences, published a chart in Scientific American that looked at metal reserves and estimated the humanity would totally run out of copper shortly after 2000. Lead, zinc, tin, gold, and silver would be gone before 1990.
16. Sen. Gaylord Nelson wrote in Look that, “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.”

Yes it is earth day. Where spoiled rich left wing elitists who do nothing for the planet gather to get high, and unite in hatred for the American free market and truly believe that by being a good enough socialist and hating republicans (conservatives) well enough, that they are doing something for the planet.
LOOK AT THOSE PREDICTIONS.
LOL!!
White trash...
I grew up in Putnam Lake, where people burned a lot of stuff on their lawns.....
I personally can't stand such trash.
They would burn plastic bottles, and plastic house siding, or roof shingles.
Totally toxic, and disgusting smells.....
I'm glad I now live in Pawling, New York where they actually regulate against such activities.
No one except some of the most deplorable people on the right is.Happy Earth Day and to its Founder who then murdered his girlfriend but stayed green by composting her body.
Well, I would agree that we shouldn't honor that scumbag..

How is any of that little rant related to honoring some scumbag that killed his girlfriend? Hmm?HiNo one except some of the most deplorable people on the right is.Happy Earth Day and to its Founder who then murdered his girlfriend but stayed green by composting her body.

Now list for us all of the things YOU PERSONALLY DO for the environment. Try NOT LYING.
We all know you use a computer, which is directly dependent on energy. So we all know you have not sacrificed that.
Let us know ALL of the things you ACTUALLY DO. Then show how that ACTUALLY benefits the planet. For instance, if you drive a hybrid. Let us know if that ACTUALLY benefits the planet, or if that was only a theory that turned to be false.
Let us see that list. Thanks. Watch this folks.
/——/ They are the Enviro Wackos.Now you see their plan when the ice caps dont melt. They will claim it was them, who did nothing other than hating republicans well enough and being good enough socialists that stopped them from melting.Ironically most of those did not come true because people at the time acted and we have far less pollution today than we did in the 40s, 50s and 60s.
Just read that. That is what they actually believe. Even though they ACTUALLY did NOTHING, they believe they did everything.
LOL
They are so pathetic.
Who the hell is “they”?

We've exterminated, and endangered many species of Animals, and Plants...
ScienceRocks is totally correct on this one, that people against the environment are basically just Negro idiots with different skin colors.

Well said, but hippies can't be recycled. They were parasites in the first place and should have just been left to rot where they were shot.
NO.
Fuck "peace", at least with commie parasites like you. I devote my life to defeating you. I vow to remain eternally hostile to all the communists and enemies of The US Constitution on earth.
Get out of your mom's basement and go plant a tree, the fresh air will do you good.
NO.

Pull an OJ?To celebrate, I’m going to drive my SUV up and down the Interstate with no particular place to go for hours on end.
Nice sunny day, but still a lot of snow.
Think I will empty some aerosol cans out back to help this warming trend.
Old gas tanks from discarded autos..Nice sunny day, but still a lot of snow.

Aerosol cans are much more fun when you throw them in the burn barrel, as is any old corroded ammunition.
/—-/ libtards have politicized science to meet their agenda. Example, all of those false predictions of doom and gloom by scientists./——-/ Yeah sure Spanky. When wild eyed predictions of doom and gloom don’t come true it’s because we acted to stop it. Bwhahahaha Now excuse me now, I have to single handily stop the sun from a super nova. ....... There fixed it. You can thank me now and send me money to cover expenses. I accept PayPalIronically most of those did not come true because people at the time acted and we have far less pollution today than we did in the 40s, 50s and 60s.
As I said, once people put science before party, but no longer. The party is all that matters now, the party trumps even the country.

While there's been some wacky doom, and gloom painted by environmentalists, that doesn't mean we haven't done damages to the environment.
/——/ Does condor taste anything like Spotted Owl?Having barbecued condor for dinner... cooked over a fire made from endangered hardwoods.
It all tastes like chicken. But I season it with greenie tears.
Notice Earth Day comes shortly after pothead day?
Hmmmmm

Not enough boom. Try throwing a half-empty 5-gallon propane tank in there, much more fun. Or better yet, tape a couple pounds of Tannerite to it and shoot it from 100 yards away.
