Lately, we have noticed an increasing push for “going green.” We have seen changes in everything from transportation to food preparation to the internet. This got me thinking about how I could make my life greener. My immediate realization was that I was a walking global warming vessel. I’m fat. Being fat can’t be very green. Can it? We need to reduce our emissions of heat-trapping gases and learn how to use energy more efficiently. Read more

No doubt we’ve got some crazy weather going on these days. Some people say it’s because of global warming while others claim it’s just the natural cycle of weather fluctuations the earth has always experienced. Some blame it on those mischievous kids, El Niño and La Nina while still others cite the hole in the ozone layer, our vanishing rain forests, factory pollution, agribusiness, and car exhausts. Everybody has a theory. One scientist now says it’s germs that cause rain. Read more
Global Warming Tax On Extra Children

Med Headlines - Global warming has now reached health care. In an article published in the Medical Journal of Australia, Dr. Barry Walters, an associate professor of obstetrics at the University of Western Australia, suggests implementing tax on parents with children.
Dr. Walters believes that since every human contributes to global warming, parents who choose to have more children than an amount predetermined by the government, should pay $5,000 carbon footprint tax at birth of the additional baby and $800 per year thereafter.
Walters suggests that the additional money may be used for fight against global warming. He also proposes awarding “carbon credits” to those who purchase birth control or undergo permanent sterilization.
Ironically, Australia with its population of 21 million, currently offers credits to families with children.

Question comes to mind, when will Dr. Walters propose taxing the elderly? Going with his train of thought, it’s the elderly that should be taxed, they are not productive, they are a burden on the health care system and DO CONTRIBUTE to the so-called carbon footprint. Don’t tax the young, healthy members of a society, who will one day contribute to the humanity!
If the proposed law ever comes to life, one can only think when will they really turn to the elderly… on any senior citizen’s 70th, 75th, 80th (or whetever the predetermined age will be) birthday, you get two options, either start paying the carbon footprint tax or get the electric chair… we can’t afford to have non-productive, sick, carbon footprint-producing members of a society around!
Sorry folks, this idea is so ridiculous, that it does not deserve a serious response. I just thought you may get a few laughs!
