Moral Relativity Reigns…except

Posted by Taylor on April 9th, 2010 under Environment Tags:  •  No Comments

The all-knowing Al Gore, creator of the internet extraordinaire, spoke here at Duke yesterday.  The Goracle once again implored all to fight global warming because it is the greatest moral issue facing the world.  A friend of mine made an interesting point.  Liberals constantly claim that there is no moral absolute, that everything is relative, [...]

The climate change consensus is melting away before our eyes.  Even the scientist implicated by the climategate emails is starting to crack.
Meanwhile, one of the scientists at the center of the climategate fiasco has called into question other issues that the climate lobby has claimed are indisputable. Phil Jones, who stepped down as head of [...]

There are so many crises in our world right now.  Most likely, many of them are only a crisis because the media has told us they are a crisis.  In any case, people are talking about a water crisis.  The theory goes that with population growth and climate change, water is becoming more and more scarce and conservation [...]

Think using CFL light bulbs is good for the environment?  How about solar panels?  The government certainly does as evidenced by recent laws not allowing traditional light bulbs and subsidizing solar panels.  Have you heard of mercury or cadmium?
CFL light bulbs have mercury in them.  Guess what, when you break them, it’s bad for the [...]

My Electric Lawn Mower

We recently purchased our first home and the backyard lawn was absolutely dead.  I’ve been working to revive it for a couple months now and slowly, but surely, it has come back to life.  So much so, that two weeks ago we decided it was actually time to buy a lawn mower.

Probably the most annoying thing to hear about lately, even more than twitter, is cash for clunkers.  It’s all over the news, CBNC, radio, etc.  I was out car shopping this past weekend and everywhere I called and went the first thing I was asked was if I was going to turn in a clunker.

My co-worker told me yesterday he went to a store to buy something and when he got to the checkregister he was asked this question.  He responded, well, I definitely don’t want to go green so I’ll take the bag.  I feel like this is such a loaded question.  Do you want to be moral [...]

“Don’t stamp it out with yer boots, Ted.”  ”Don’t tell me what to do, devil woman!”
We have only had a yard of our own for a month or so.  During that month I have cleaned up dog crap in my grass countless times.  How many dogs do we own? Zero.
Pet ownership comes with a lot [...]

Some of you may have heard about the global warming report that has been suppressed by Obama’s EPA.  Here is the author, Dr. Carlin, explaining one of the graphs to Glenn Beck.
