Climate Confessions

[Ben]

NBC "News" (note quotes) wants people to confess their climate sins.

I don't know that I have any climate sins, but I do have some awesome climate stuff I do.

I live in Idaho
I burn half my trash
They don't have recycling bins for rural pickup and I throw away hundreds of plastic bottles
I have cheap electricity and use a ton of it
I have a wood stove
I BBQ
I drive 100 mile round trip just to try a new burger joint

That's all I can think of off the top of my head, but I know there is way more awesome stuff  I do because smart people invented stuff to make my life easier.

For 21 years I drove a Ford F250 superduty 4x4 with a V10 gas triton. Sometimes it was only hauling me and a briefcase.

I have campfires for the simple enjoyment of roasting hot dogs and marshmallows.

Oh yeah, after my grand niece gets a chance to play in the fort/playhouse the previous owners left in the backyard after her visit next week, I'm tearing it down (and probably burning it) and turning that area into a backyard fire pit for whiskey and cigars. The enviros are way on the hate train regarding heating with wood stoves, campfires, BBQs, etc., so that's where I'm focusing my efforts.

Instructions:
1. Complete step 2 before moving to step 3
2. Remove children
3. Burn playhouse

I just mowed 15,000 square feet of lawn using a gas-powered Honda push mower.

Always pissed me off that the bastards are going for our oldest, most basic tech and demonizing it.  Next they'll come for the wheel.


I have fires in the back yard all fall, weather permitting.  It's completely illegal and that just makes me want to do it more.

I modified all the spouts on my gas cans as well as drilling holes in the handles opposite the spout so that the gas actually pours out defying the EPA.  I mow and fill up gas cans and cars on whatever those days the tree huggers tell us not to mow or fill up your gas cans and cars.

My home is heated by nat gas and cooled using electric derived in part from coal.

My kitchen uses nat gas and electric appliances also.

Daily i drive a vehicle manufactured using petroleum products, it runs on petroleum products and mostly is driven on roads made in part from petroleum products.

Every day I wear clothing that is comprised wholly or in part of materials derived from petroleum.

All the Chinese manufactured crap I own came over in shipping containers transported by the largest polluting form of transportation on earth.

Awesome, right up to the shipping part.  Pound for pound ships and trains can't be beats for transportation efficiency.

I've kept a tire fire burning continuously on my back 40 for the last 37 years.

My household consumes almost 3 times the world average of meat per capita.  My wife is vegetarian.

We keep the thermostat at 72 year round.

We have more cars than drivers.

there's probably more, but that seems to be enough for now.  Do we say 5 Al Gore's, or is there going to be flagellation involved?  Or am I imagining the religious overtones and this is more of a struggle session

My hat's off to you, sir.  You just won the thread.

[HeroHog]

I've owned/driven SEVERAL cars that got single digit mileage but were VERY quick/fast/powerful

I fart

Thread, hell -- I think that won the entire Internet.

Now that is the last straw!!! (really, it the last one since they outlawed them).  We have to pass legislation to regulate charby farts (and burps also).  It is for the CHILDREN!!!

I live on a piece of land large enough to house a few thousand city hive dwellers, and I keep most of it in the form of a neatly mowed lawn.

Push mower, I hope.  Nothing that uses Petro-Poison.

16hp lawn tractor, 2-smoke trimmer, blower, hedge trimmers... I use a whole 3rd world village worth of small engines to groom my 3rd world village sized plot of land. Did I mention roundup? Or weed and feed?

[RoadKingLarry]

I routinely use old, dirty motor oil to start my brush pile fires, sometime it takes a couple of gallons.

I would have been impressed if you also had a small corner dedicated to an eternal tire flame like HankB.

I pour old gas on the ground behind my shed.  We heat the house to 78 in the winter.  I ran up two months of electric bills of $230.00 a month keeping the house cool during our heat wave.

[Perd Hapley]

I'm a white American that eats meat and drives a car wherever I go. I even sit in my car and run the AC on my lunch break. I don't even recycle.

So proud of myself right now.
