Good News! After March 28, 2009, global warming will be a thing of the past!

How do I know this? Well, my mayor, Karl Dean, has as much told me this. “This is a tremendous opportunity for the city of Nashville to  demonstrate its commitment to the environment on a global scale,” he says.

Seems that Nashville is one of a few cities world wide to be invited to take part the World Wildlife Fund’s Earth Hour. The deal is that at 8:30 pm on the 28th, you turn your lights off for an hour. This supposedly saves a bunch of electricity blah blah blah.

I think last year, around 40,000,000 people supposedly did this, and a whole bunch of carbon was not released into the atmosphere.

I have an idea: if you believe that you’re causing “climate change”, then by all means participate in Earth Hour. But instead of turning off a few lights, you can do something that’s even more immediate to reduce your carbon output: hold your breath. Yes, that’s right. I suggest you hold your breath for an hour so that the carbon dioxide you exhale won’t go into the atmosphere. If you can’t hold your breath for that long, then take a big garbage bag and put it over your head to capture the nasty carbon you exhale.

If 40,000,000 people do that, it will definitely reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the air.
