More on the Road to Hell...

While I celebrated "Earth Hour" last night by turning up my thermostat 5 degrees and turning on every light in the house and in the yard, Google also did its part by increasing their energy output, along with anyone else who was using a computer at the time:
Google today joined in the celebration of Israel's "Earth Hour" campaign by turning its background from white to black. Unfortunately, on LCD monitors sized 22 inches or less, Google's new black actually consumes more energy than its usual white one.
So, living in "The Ice Palace" that is Minnesota, I'm so glad that Google has done its part to increase greenhouse gases!

Admittedly, however, Google and I can only do so much to increase global warming. Therefore, I point my readers to these fine Americans, who will do their darndest to erase any carbon credits that Algore accumulates:
Don’t let the threat of Carbon Credits get you down – take action! Right now you can purchase a Carbon Debit to help offset this insidious danger. With every Carbon Debit purchase we will:
  • Kill (Shred) 1 Living Tree (see pictures of this being done)
  • Send an email to Al Gore about your civic mindedness in buying Carbon Debits.
  • Send an email to you certifying you are doing your part to save the Earth from Carbon Credits.
Carbon Debits are only $5!
Plus, if you're a real friend of global warming, for increasing amounts you can get an "I increased my carbon footprint" T-shirt, a wooden plaque, all the way up to a trip to sunny Arizona so you yourself can participate in the felling of more trees!

So do your part. Visit them today!
