Carbon belchers can enjoy their own winds – we prefer fresh air

The hilarious thing about this protest is that it truthfully inconveniences the protesters. With fuel prices as high as they are, wasting energy to protest carbon taxes and conservation is as ridiculous as throwing money into the street to protest taxation. “Don’t take my money away- I’ll show you- I can throw it into the wind myself!”

The issues are somewhat more complicated than that, of course, but having a protest against something as basic, good, and necessary as climate-friendly conservation isn’t just a waste of fossil fuel energy, it’s a waste of emotional and mental energy as well.
