The Gregalogue: Why Terror Is Bad For The Environment
My favorite person in the world - aside from stage and screen actor Wilford Brimley - is Vaclav Klaus, president of the Czech Republic.

In a recent issue of the Financial Times, he writes that “global warming hysteria has become a truth versus propaganda problem.”

He says the issue is more about freedom than about small changes in average global temperature. And he’s right.

The only people who don’t get this are our celebrities, dumb politicians, our misguided media and hairless cats. Why is this?

The scariest thing we face right now is terror. At any moment we could be bombed by demented dipwads whose hatred toward our way of life is matched only by their desire for goat porn.

Every day, they plan our demise. Worse, it’s not like they’re in a rush. Unlike Americans, they don’t need their pizza delivered in 30 minutes or less. It took them a decade to take down the towers, and if it takes them ten years to blow up a mall in L.A., hooray for Hollywood.

What’s this got to with global warming? Everything. Our country is rife with cowards incapable of making objective moral decisions, of discerning good from evil.

Instead of focusing on a real war between civilizations, they`d rather screech about a phony war between us and the globe. Because with global warming there`s only one culprit - you.

And because it’s your fault - then it’s you who must change your life. Global warming is the perfect platform for the self-righteous – you can lecture me, and all I get is bored.

Terrorists aren’t so polite. They really want to kill you, and they defy lectures. They haven’t even seen an Inconvenient Truth!

But for cowards, it’s all about the mother earth, even though mother earth doesn`t fly planes into buildings, strap explosives to teens or execute homosexuals.

Mother earth just sits there, rotating lazily, absorbing Sheryl Crow’s compost. When you’re assessing real threats: terror is red meat, global warming is tofu.

So how do we convince global warmers that terrorism is real? Speak their language: Tell them that terrorism is BAD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.

I mean, seriously, when those towers fell on September 11th, imagine how all that debris and smoke increased carbon emissions.

The bombings in London on July 7th? Sure they killed people, but imagine what they did to our fragile ecosystem!

And the car bombs in Iraq? If they only switched to Prius’s - imagine how that would reduce our dependence on fossil fuels!

I think George Clooney, Leo Dicaprio and Laurie David should go to Iraq and discuss how terror affects the environment. I bet the terrorists will listen, at least while adjusting the blindfolds.

And that’s my gut feeling!
