Alarming News: I like Morgan Freeberg. A lot.
American Digest: And I like this from "The Blog That Nobody Reads", because it is -- mostly -- about me. What can I say? I'm on an ego trip today. It won't last.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: We were following a trackback and thinking "hmmm... this is a bloody excellent post!", and then we realized that it was just part III of, well, three...Damn. I wish I'd written those.
Anti-Idiotarian Rottweiler: ...I just remembered that I found a new blog a short while ago, House of Eratosthenes, that I really like. I like his common sense approach and his curiosity when it comes to why people believe what they believe rather than just what they believe.
Brutally Honest: Morgan Freeberg is brilliant.
Dr. Melissa Clouthier: Morgan Freeberg at House of Eratosthenes (pftthats a mouthful) honors big boned women in skimpy clothing. The picture there is priceless--keep scrolling down.
Exile in Portales: Via Gerard: Morgan Freeberg, a guy with a lot to say. And he speaks The Truth...and it's fascinating stuff. Worth a read, or three. Or six.
Just Muttering: Two nice pieces at House of Eratosthenes, one about a perhaps unintended effect of the Enron mess, and one on the Gore-y environ-movie.
Mein Blogovault: Make "the Blog that No One Reads" one of your daily reads.
The Virginian: I know this post will offend some people, but the author makes some good points.
Poetic Justice: Cletus! Ah gots a laiv one fer yew...
Yeah, let’s play a little game of “believe everything we read and see where it takes us.”
The planet is warming. Because it has been, that is proof that it will. We know this because of models. We made them with science.
The cause of the warming is carbon. Carbon is emitted by humans. Developed nations must cut their emissions. America is one of the leading developed nations, and has an obligation to cut its carbon emissions to save the planet. The science is settled that the heating of the planet is being caused by human activity.
America’s government is active. It does activity. It is populated by humans. American humans.
The sequester is going to mandate deep, draconian cuts. The cuts will come from government spending. We are going to have to go without vital, needed services because the cuts will be made without rhyme or reason. A lot of the things the government has been doing, it will not be doing. The government staffed by American humans, who emit gas and heat the planet when they do their American human activity. They won’t be so active because they’ve been sequestered.
The sequester has given us exactly the reduction in human-activity carbon spewing, that we needed to save the planet. We should find a way to do more sequestering. The planet’s continuing survival depends on it.
Update: By way of Maggie’s Farm, this chart from Gateway Pundit:

It’s what scientists call “win-win.” I read that somewhere, so it’s truthy.

- philmon | 03/01/2013 @ 08:20Also, I heard that lowering carbon emissions will save the Lesser Northwestern Reticulated Hermit Crab. We have to sequester more! If you don’t favor government spending cuts, you hate crustaceans.
- Severian | 03/01/2013 @ 09:38[…] As sequestration cuts begin across the land, ripping into such vital programs as the mohair subsidy and the Department of Redundancy Department, you’re probably feeling pretty glum. But there is a silver lining! As Morgan points out, the reduction in government-produced carbon emissions is bound to be good for the planet. […]
- Happy Sequestration Day! | Rotten Chestnuts | 03/01/2013 @ 09:50Considering the positively GREEN tunnel-vision to fix every ill of society and body (“New, improved, carbon-defying Zits-B-Gone available at your eco-friendly, “green” government-approved pharmacy!”), I can’t but help to wonder at the semi-prophetic prescience of the SciFi classic “Soylent Green” as a solid-form “Kool-Aid” solution to the planet’s population vs resources dilemma.
Waaaaaay to close for comfort put up against the plethora of programs and “approved” lifestyle choices being championed by our Junior Deputy Sheriff Captain Planet Savior Cadet Corps (or “Corpse”?) mindless multitude.
